Re: [Announce] BackupMenu N9 v 1.1_9 : A Touch Backup Menu On Harmattan Boot Up , Backup System and User Files

I have extracted the preinit file from my old bakup of root
and replacet it ( i thought that this could fix my problem ) .
What happened -- my phone is not booting any more!

I have tried to connect it to linux to recover using flasher and n9.zip package that you privided but my linux (ubuntu) doesn't register n9 as a flash drive.

From flasher i get this output:

Suitable USB interface (bootloader/phonet) not found, waiting...

But then when i do fdisk -l there is no new drives there.

Please help!

if you need to flash open mode, you can save your accounts easily using the standard backup (just before flashing) in settings/backup. Worked for me.

Should somebody confirm this or could I put it in the Wiki?

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu N9 v 1.1_9 : A Touch Backup Menu On Harmattan Boot Up , Backup System and User Files

It's working with ubiboot ?

As for running backupmenu, of course the "correct" way to do that is to embed the backup menu under ubiboot, so that it works in the ubiboot maintanance mode domain. That is still WIP, and I might look at it one of these days when I've got some spare time to do it... :)

What you can do, however is to do what I guess you were after now: Launching bacupmenu in Harmattan preinit context. This would mean chainloading like ubiboot->backupmenu->Harmattan, so that first you boot with ubiboot, and when you select Harmattan you would get into the backupmenu selection before it boots up.
That should indeed be easy, even as I have not checked this myself. Just make sure that the "/sbin/preinit" installed by backupmenu is there, and then set the ubiboot.conf key like you have in a.) - 1.), G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit"

That should work, yes.

Now, as for why your device doesn't boot, when you install ubiboot 0.3.5 it is much easier to debug. You can see what's the problem by looking at the file MyDocs/boot/ubiboot.log.

I wasn't able to boot backupmenu from Ubiboot with this metod with preinit from backupmenu, anybody knows how to achieve this?

OK, so exactly how does your device behave?

From the ubiboot log I can see that you got correctly into the ubiboot menu, and selected the kernel zImage_2.6.32.61-plus_20131128 from the Harmattan menu, so at least that much went correctly.

Now what happened after that, did your device just hang up or did it boot to Harmattan directly, with no BackupMenu stage between?

The preinit file you included looks correct, so if the device hangs there might be a permission problem with it.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu N9 v 1.1_9 : A Touch Backup Menu On Harmattan Boot Up , Backup System and User Files

It boots to Harmattan directly, but a little bit longer than with standard preinit. No sign of BackupMenu.
