Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

I just got it to work from the local drive.. The problem is the checksum number at the end of each command is incorrect. I deleted the checksum for both commands and works fine now

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

@all facing bailing out problems

i also faced that problem again and again... but i took risk and got the solution !!!

so

all you have to do is

1st edit the file to

Code:

#

# Manifest file for NITDroid

#



# Root filesystem tar balls

rootfs file:///home/user/MyDocs/N12_UMay.tar.bz2

# Deb packages

package file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb



# End.

Now open x terminal
make sure your connected to the internet

MOST IMPORTANT THING

USE * ROOT * Command insteat of * SUDO ROOTGAIN *

Now
just type the same command

Code:

nitdroid file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.manifest

then as usual type YES

it will install the Nitroid !!!

but for me ...

i got problem for kernel ..

got the same message
so dont be scared

simply type this command if you get kernel error

Code:

dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb

DONE !!! REBOT and enjoy ;)

enjoy nitdroid ... but ... camera + Calls not working !

SHARE UR REVIEWS !

Checksum numbers are md5.
I have computed them on Windows PC and on N900 itself and the values published are correct

I suppose that problems are others.

Today I have updated the Manifest with latest kernel

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

Hello I've folllowed the instructions from mrbilli (downloaded the files manually) and the nitdroid installation was succesfull, however, when I restart the phone and choose for nitdroid it gets stuck at the android boot screen! The animation on the logo is visible and the screens blinks occasionally but it doesn't continue.

Any help?

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

Just a note of reassurance; on the "FAILURE-BAILING OUT" error:

Keeps happening.

I copy/pasted text exactly as it appears and placed the .txt file in home/user/MyDocs

Still getting FAILURE-BAILING OUT"

I would do the manual install, however DO NOT under ANY circumstances want to install on eMMc as doing so eats away at space on rootfs. Just better to install on SD card.

Has anyone managed to get this to work as the instructions have stated?

I am trying to install this onto my 16gb micro and in the process I was having issues with it getting stuck on formatting (ext3) so I used cf disk to partition but I think I may have messed up on that an possibly patitioned my root/rootfs because when I ran 'df' it said 86percent full...SIGGHHH I KEEP TRYIN TO GET THIS BUT I JUST CANT.

Hell...
I can't get this working. I tried executing

Code:

nitdroid file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.manifest

. The manifest is attached to this post (the file).

The files referenced in the manifest are actually there. I checked that a lot of times. But I always get this:

Code:

Formatting /dev/mmcblk1p1 (vfat) ...done

Formatting /dev/mmcblk1p2 (ext3) ...done

Mounting /dev/mmcblk1p2 ...done

...cat: can't open '/home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/N12_UMay.ta': No such file or directory



bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;

perhaps it is corrupted? *Possible* reason follows.

bunzip2: Invalid argument

Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)



It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.

You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.



You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover

data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.



FAILURE. Bailing out.

Could you give me some help, please?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I finally got passed ONLY through that error. Just run "nitdroid", then cancelled by typing Ctrl + C after manifest gets downloaded and edited it so it pointed to my local kernel and nitdroid compressed file.

But it seems impossible to solve the last error. When extracting, it is doing something on the background and then finally it finishes without output, just the always joker "FAILURE. Bailing out...". It seems that the file is broken (maybe?) but I tried downloading several times and the same comes everytime...

EDIT 2: Nothing.
If the problem was the SD card it would fail while formatting, right?
If the problem was the manifest it woudn't be able to download the files or select them locally (if I modify the manifest to point to local files), right?
The other one that remains is the N12_UMay.tar.gz file, but I don't see what the problem could be there, as I tried downloading (the default method in first post) and pointing to local files. Neither of them worked.
I'm definitely stuck here. Help ??? :confused:

Thanks man, but I also tried that solution. Just because you're trying to help me I'll give it another try. Will edit if I see any change.
I copied the file over an SSH connection (Wifi), or downloaded through Wifi. Could that be? Gonna test right now.

Hi Fabry, I'm new and I don't know how to contact you in private...
by the way, I've installed android on my n900 but i still have some problems for example wifi gives me problems sometimes and the 3g data doesn't work!
I didn't upgrade android could be this the problem?
I'm italian and it would be easier to share information in pvt!
thanks a lot.

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

I have corrected an error on latest manifest (wrong kernel name) and then I have personally tested the procedure.

For me IT HAS WORKED at first attempt (N12 downloaded and then installed on SD).

Be aware that you must manually connect N900 to Internet (with WiFi or UMTS), Nitdroid-Installer will NOT open internet connection automatically

Do you guys have internet working?

yeah, add all the settings, such as APN, Proxy number etc etc, but don't add the username and password.

then press the camera key halfway, so you'll go back and check the two boxes about data being enabled, you should see a G or 3G sign on the status bar, ignore it and reboot your phone and you should be connected!

Error Installing nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb

First I installed an early version of Nitdroid...it booted up...but didn't login to google...

Second, I managed to finally get N12_Umay installed using nitdroid.manifest file over on talk.maemo.org forum....however, got 'bailing out' error when it tried to install nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb.

So, then tried installing this kernel manually using dpkg -i command....but always get the error message:

Code:

Reading database .... 20678 files and directories currently installed.)

Unpacking nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07 (from nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb) ...

Android not found. MUST be mounted on '/and'

dpkg: error processing nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb (--install):

 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1

Errors were encountered while processing:

nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb

Any suggestions as to how to get this fixed?

Thanks!

Mark

UPDATE

Got solution to this problem from i-CAD over at nitdroid forums....

Thought I'd share it just in case it helps someone else.....

Quote:

Try to mount your nitdroid partition:

root:
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
if you are using NITDroid in SDCard

and then install nitdroid kernel

That's it!

Oops.....Thanks for catching that Fabry and perfect timing too as I was just about to post about what happened after I rebooted and tried to use Nitdroid....

It booted up once OK and started to setup Android...but then it crashed and rebooted...and from then on I can't boot into either Maemo or Nitdroid....starts booting either one, but then either gets stuck or reboots again.....

Was about to reflash N900 again.....and suppose I'll have to do that first as I don't think I can replace the kernel now since I can't seem to boot into Maemo.....hmmm......

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

Reflashed N900 and tried installing GingerBread N12 UMay again....

Finally got it to install or so it appeared from message I got that install was successful and to reboot with keyboard open.....

After reboot, clicked 2 and it started to boot Android...but fairly soon in process, I noticed a line item that said:

Quote:

kernel panic - not syncing: fatal exception

after process paused for a short while and continued with more lines of text scrolling, then the same error message again and then screen went black and then N900 went back to the multiboot screen.

Tried booting Android again, but same error message....

Tried booting into Maemo and it boots up OK....

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay

Some (many ?) SD Class 10 have problems with N900.

There is a kernel patch that fixes but unfortunately Nitdroid's (and MeeGo's) kernel doesn't use it

Thanks, I read about this issue on the other forum thread....

So, I will try to exchange the class 10 32gb card for another one (class 8 or 6....)....

In meantime, I found a 16gb class 2 card I can try using.....

Oh well.....thanks for all your help with this...
