Right, I did not answer because what you describe is not logically possible. You state you were in the official OS, had unpacked the Mer Firmware image into seperate parts (an unsupported method but nevertheless perfectly harmless). You clicked the initramfs.gz file, which is in fact not a gz file, but a uboot headered cpio archive gzipped, which at this point burnt out your hardware. Which is impossible unless you fell over a dd command, cpio extracted the result and then a solar flare killed your circuitry.

So, only logical explanation is a hardware issue - as the prelude for the error you described does not correspond with the outcome. And we can't help with hardware issues.

well appreciate your answer, but one my hardware is not bust. it shows green light keeps burning and hardware reset is not happening, and it is not reading the firmware files from the SDcard. Whether u believe or not thats what happened. I can post a video if u want to see or willing to help further.

Anyway thanks for your help.

Is your problem in any way related to my posts in this thread?

Why do you think your hardware's not bust, then? Not being able to hard reset and it not booting sounds like duff hardware to me. Perhaps this is the SmartQ 5's own WSOD[1]?


[1] The "white screen of death" is something that afflicted certain Nokia 770s. They'd become unbootable, only showing a white screen. It was a hardware fault.

Hello

I have Smart Q5. I tried MER 0.15 release booting directly from SD card (instruction on JT site). It is very fluent and convinient OS for such device as Q5, but haven't such important plugins like battery status, backlite changing, power off (not from CL)...
Which plugins will work from Maemo? Or may be possible to take some things from stock OS?
Also tried to make WIFI work on this device (according to Wiki), but without success. It shows "device no managed". In dmesg:

8686 sdio: sd 8686 driver
8686 sdio: Copyright HHCN 2009
mmc2:0001:1 failed with error -1

I hope Wifi prbm will be solved in 0.16
I tried 0.16test2 ,but no virtual keybord in login screen (known bug), so wait for future test version and ready to test.
