Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

you need root privileges to copy to mounted rootfs

for reflashing:

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

thanks. think have root privileges (but how to make sure?)
no problem to copy at first but mess in /boot map ex. empty after boot and last no space for copy!

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

ah sure, you already resized partitions, so you cant flash without losing anything now :)

seems you mounted partition as read-only. you need to remount it with read-write options.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Edit: OK flashed to Ubiboot again and will try to get read-write options!
can't mount now no access!
loosing everything meaning and how to do?
proposal what to do?:confused:

whole device reflash

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Thanks - but last try before, how to get/mount with read-write option, any idea?

what os on your pc?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Windows 8.1

Use Paragon ExtFS 2.41 to mount

you need Linux. i said it TWICE! you cant do it on win

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

OK I know, thanks, but I don't have and know Linux - only have two n9!:D - so I need to make total flash and then found out!!?:cool:

download unetbootin and write ubuntu to flash drive and boot from it.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

OK I will try:o:

Unetbootin for windows
Ups what then Distribution (not Disk picture) but then (?) Ubuntu 12.04_Netinstall_x64?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Ubuntu Live

ubiboot 3.3 with empty battery
 

hi guys, i appreciate any help.

i flashed to ubiboot to restore my data after screen broke, now i fixed the screen, but my battery is 0%, when i try to charge through usb, my n9 starts after few seconds with:

Welcome to Ubiboot ver. 0.3.3
(Boot loader is based on Moslo ver. 0.0.13.1)

Try 1 (0)
Partitions exported successfully via USB
Configured 192.168.2.15 on USB
Starting DHCP server, offering 192.168.2.100

Starting Telnet server
Starting SSH server


stays like this for a few more seconds then shuts off !
any idea how i can re-charge it?

thanks.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Did you try to force the charging mode with flasher?
When battery is totally flat the device cannot even start charging as it requires it to start up a little bit to run the charging algorithm.

Start flasher like you would flash the device, and it should say that charge is not enough to fo it, as it is requires to have 11% charge for flashing.
Then the flasher starts to force-charge it, and it will slowly show the charge rising, percent by percent. When it reaches 9% or 10% or so, before it is enough to start flashing, disconnect it and plug to wall charger to charge it to full :)

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

@juiceme

yes i tried, but the flasher doesn't see the phone!

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Anyone know account to ssh to N9 when in maintenance mode?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Strange that.
What OS are you using, Linux or Windows?
Have you flashed it before with the same computer, same cable?
Are you sure the device is totally OFF when you connect the flasher?
(if you press the power button very shortly, the power LED should blink once if it is off)

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

You need to create the keys to the device like described in the comments in ubiboot.conf as the kays in the device "as default" are just for example.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

@juiceme
windows, and i tried an ubuntu vm same result!

after connecting it for about a minute it gives:
usb device not recognized, then disconnects, then appears the message that i'v posted for a few second then it shows the mydocs folder for a few more seconds then it shuts off.

i pressed the power button for more than 10 sec, then tried to press very shortly and i get no blink, so i thought i might be the battery is flat.

this is the 1st time i use this usb cable, it's a samsung U2. could this be a problem, i though it should be compatible with all usb cables.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

I think it propably cannot ever go so flat it would not do even single blink, unless the battery is damaged somehow.

One thing you can do, is to start flasher, then connect the device to cable, then press and hold down the power button for real long time, I think it is about 30 seconds or so.
After some time the flasher will recognize the device and start, only then you can release the button. This should work always, no matter what, if you do it correctly.


I have found out that some cables might be OK for charging, but NOK for flashing or communication. Don't really know why but it just is so.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Have installed Ubuntu USB/live can't get wifi, tried for days
sorry to ask but do you have a link or an idea (see attached):confused::cool:

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

@Garp why you need wifi to repair N9? :D
just prepare files you need, connect N9 and fix it!

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Seems you have no WLAN device that is recognized. What is the device that should be there?
If you do "lspci" can you see your device listed?

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

tried but same result
tried also nokia original cable!

anymore ideas, thanks.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

ok got it working, it was the flasher not compatible with windows 8.1, so i used windows 7 mv, it connected as expected.

thanks juiceme for trying to help man.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

This is why I always recommend you use Linux, windows is just generally so bad at anything more complex you try to use it for.
With windows anything is hit-or-miss, and if something does not work the way you expect, you just have no idea where to start looking for the glitch... :(

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

You are basicly right but I have several problems: can't update anything, drivers, ubuntu installation etc AND re. N9 don't have permission to create maps, to move files etc (and printer set up also), all this I need net to learn how to do and closing Ubuntu and open Windows every time:p:eek:

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Hope it makes sense to you because it's troublesome even just to handle this without net/wifi;)

My wifi here is coming through cabel/modem (with TV, phone etc)

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

It seems that people have had trouble autodetecting the driver for Broadcom 4365 WIFI chipset.
There are solutions, however. Google for "Ubuntu Broadcom 4365 problem" or something.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

what the point of installing drivers in Live mode?
use virtualbox or vmware then and install ubuntu there. lt connections will come from windows, but you could mount ext drives in virtual ubuntu.

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

OK thanks "what the point of installing drivers in Live mode?"
Yeah but my plan was to install Ubuntu fully at my PC /learn it and use it in future also, but now I will try to find out about virtualbox etc! and if it can avoid the Wifi problem by using Windows.
But already now we could have talked in Ubuntu only if I had been able to find the Wifi there:p

Re: Introducing ubiboot N9 (multiboot OS loader)
 

Thanks It's already set-up in ubuntu for activation and have tried a couple of times but comes up with an error and message "see in /var/log/jockey.log". Now I will try again but how? I had already found a suggestion here but apt-get etc can't work without Net, so...'around and around'?!:cool:
