Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

I have installed on mmcblk0b6 gingerbread custom mido and I want to install 0.09 on mmcblk0b5...:).....thanks

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

the reason is i simply want to have more than 4 partitions..i'm planning to install ubuntu 10.10 later on mmcblk0p6..

extended partition is only a container for the logical drives..

if i make mmcblk0p4 as primary partition, then i will only have 4 partitions..mainly mmcblk0p1(MyDocs), mmcblk0p2(home), mmcblk0p3(swap) and the newly partitioned mmcblk0p4...

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

mido

i was a big problem with backupmenu !

what is problem ?

i should flash it

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

FLASH the firmware pr 1.3 then use ur backup to restore it

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

hey mido buddy i guess i have run into some problems.As you know i have been telling you that i want to partition my EMMC using the instructions given on the link below. (Post #1588)

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1652293/+1587#

Now when i follow those instructions through GParted on my Ubuntu 10.10 u will see what i get in the 3rd screenshot.

The first & second screenshot is of my present N900 setup. I have used ur 8GB custom EMMC that is why my home is 8gb

Now my question is I want to partition MyDocs which i think is mmcblk0p1 into 3 partitions i.e one for NITDroid 0.0.9,second for ur custom gingerbread one(the lastest one of the two) & third partition which i will later install Meego 1.2.

Can you show me how i can partition MyDocs to 3 partitions: 4GB for 0.0.9, 4Gb for Gingerbread & remaining 3GB left for Meego 1.2 later. After all these partition MyDocs should be left with 10GB if my maths is correct.

Please can you help me out here bro???:confused:

Thanks for all the help you have given me so far...

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

@ funkmunk

u should choose the device memory from the riht side first

then partition it as u want

but remembr that 2 giga for android is enough

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

I Have chosen the device memory only in the last screenshot but in GParted it shows 21GB (which is MyDocs) as unallocated & does not let me create a new partition also..that is the problem

Can you give me ur setup? What steps you followed to setup ur N900?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

i repartitioned my one manually .....

before u open gparted right click on N900 and choose safe remove to be able to edit it

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11

Hey bro here is my partition table that you wanted.Can you write a guide for me using the correct values?

I want to install NITDroid 0.0.9 on partition mmcblk0p5 (3GB) & your latest custom Gingerbread on partition mmcblk0p6 (3GB).

The last 5GB(mmcblk0p7) i have kept to install any other OS which i might want to try later.

Please help me out mate..!!!

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

@ mido.fayad do i have to install nitroid-installer from that big Gingerbread thread by ammyt?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

no , u don't need it

only u need to install multiboot as in this post
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...3&postcount=12

then follow the instructions above

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

Here is what i get when i type this first command.. What to do now?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

restart ur mobile and remove battery for 1 minute then try again

and remember that i told u before that 2 giga or less is enough to nitdroid

this is my prtition table

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

Is it enough if i install big games and all?? Won't I run out space?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

remember that nexus one has only 200 mega internal memory


it's very very very very very very very very very enough

and u should know something important >>>

games are big because of their data files which saved in memory card not internal storage of the system

i installed all big games and all PROGRAMS and i have more than 1.6 giga free

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

I did as you said i rebooted and removed battery for 2 minutes but i still get the same error. what am i doing wrong?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

repartition ur mobile again and make table as above

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

hey whats the actual partition size of ur mmcblk0p4, mmcblk0p5 & mmcblk0p6 & also ur MyDocs folder?

I know u have used a 5GB home partition.Whats the actual sizes for the rest? These values don't tell u the actual size.

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

MyDocs : 21 giga

the rest will be mmcblk0p4 which is extended partition : 3.5 giga

then make 2 logical partitions one 2giga or less and the other is 1.5 giga

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

On which one have you put Gingerbread & which one has Froyo?

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

I'll be repartitioning my EMMC again according to ur table.. thanks for the help so far....

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

put it where u want

mine has gingerbread on mmcblk0p5

and froyo on mmcblk0p6

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

how do you go about partitioning n900 anyways any usefull posts you know i can have a read in . !

ta

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

install backup menu in the first post the follow this guide
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1652293/+1587#

or u can repatition it manually but it's a bit hard

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

In theory isn't necessary a new partition for every installation

i.e. this configuration:

1 - for stock maemo kernel
2 - for kernel power 46
3 - for backupmenu
4 - NITDroid 0.0.8
5 - NITDroid 0.0.9
6 - Gingerbread by mido.fayad
7 - Gingerbread classic by e-eyes

is possible with a single partition (eventually even a only bigger optFS) and some simple patches to multiboot code

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

@mido.fayad

I still get failed error:no such file or directory when i try mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and

I repartitioned again with MyDocs now at 18gb,Home at 8GB & Extended partition of 3GB (both mmcblk0p5 & mmcblk0p6 are 1.5GB each)

Also I do not have /and directory when i check through WinSCP.

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

ok , i thought that u already have nitdroid before so u have /and

anyway , it's simple

write the following

root

mkdir /and

then follow the instructions

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

Hi

yes create and directory

# mkdir -p /and

afert that try again mounting your partiton

# mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and -o noatime,rw

-o is option
noatime, don't write date access to file
rw, mode read and write

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

hey .

there is no need to all this command :)

mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and is enough

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

Hey does anyone have a custom emmc image I can flash?
Or can I create or edit one from Ubuntu and flash it.
As I don't want to have to screw around with my current installation.
I would rather just backup and reinstall ;)
Thanks in advance! :)

Re: [Announce] NEW Backupmenu-multiboot and new multiboot 0.2.11
 

@ maemo55

i think ur problem is : when the program asks u about rootfs backup , u choose optfs backup

so u should have this error

YOU SHOULD choose the correct optfs and correct rootfs when the program asks u about them
