Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Firstly let's get things straight. This conflict did not result from installing Nitdroid as a reflash should eliminate Nitdroid completely. Secondly, even if Nitdroid is still installed you can't get that kernel confict. Now, to solve your problems, I recommend a flash or try this (may brick it):
Type this exactly as shown without anything after install.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I have next question. Autor write that the file http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/gingerbread.tar.bz2 have to be save in home/user/MyDocs. If I download a file I save it to N900/Documents by the computer. So If I after type to X term frase

cd /home/user/MyDocs
bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2

it writes

bzip2: Can't open input file gingerbread.tar.bz2: No such file or directory.

How to save a file to /home/user/MyDocs. Or what i have to do? I dont understand, thx.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

It will run as 98% efficient and fast as Maemo 5 does. :D

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Nitdroid will barely take 90 MB of space, but you shall need the custom EMMC if you use preenv, and, bigger is better :D

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I assume that you pasted the file in N900/.documents under your computer, but that's totally wrong. MyDocs is the root directory of your N900 under your PC. That is, just hook up your device to your PC, open it, then directly paste it there. Otherwise you can do it on Xterm:
It may not show clearly, but after typing gingerbread.tar.bz2 hit spacebar then continue typing /home/.............

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Sorry for my idiot reply, but I still don't understand. So again, I connect N900 to computer by the USB. On N900 I click on PC Suite mode or Mass storage mode? I click on PC Suite mode, then in computer I have "apliccation" N900 (PC-Suite Mode) - you said "open it" what I have to open? N900 (PC-Suite Mode) and then paste a file there? It's not go, I can only save a file to (Audio Clips, Data, Documents, etc)

I maybe don't understand to sentence "MyDocs is the root directory of your N900 under your PC." English isn't my language, I am from Czech, so..sorry

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

ok, I saved the file to N900/Documents (by the pc) and then I type to X term
-> enter. Nothing happens, is it clear? So I can now write the next step
etc..etc..?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

yes yes, but just to be sure, open file manager in your N900, then got to N900 then scroll down just to see if gingerbread.tar.bz2 is there.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

yes, is it there, thank you very much! I'm going on next steps..

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

That's what the thanks button is for! :D

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Omg, it isn't easy :D.. I am momentally in step tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/gingerbread.tar.. i type enter (something installed) and now I want type dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb and if I do it, it write: dpkg: error processing /home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb (--install):
cannot acces archive: No such file or directory
Errors wee encountered while processing:
/home/user/MyDocs/NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I have to download the file NITDroid-kernel-Mido.Fayad.deb and save it to /home/user/MyDocs, too? If I want NITDroid Gingerbread I have to have both files (gingerbread, kernel-mido)?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Assuming you want to install Gingerbread, download gingerbread.tar.bz2 and Nitdroid kernel ONLY. Place both of them in your N900, the first "place" you see when connecting them to your PC.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I succesfully done step 1-6 (its wrote ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2), I installed updates 1-4. I canceled X term. And where is OS Gingerbread? :D RR N900?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

If you have a plugged in microsd card use this:
ITEM_DEVICE:{INT_CARD}p2
If not, use this:
ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2
After completing all steps, restart your phone with the keyboard opened, then click 2 under multiboot.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

NOKIA N900 - MULTIBOOT

I click 2, then shows..

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Ehhem, did you see my post over yours? First, do you have a memory card plugged in your N900?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I did it without memory card. But you said -

Your .item file shall open under leafpad. Take a look at ITEM_DEVICE
if you're using an mmc be sure that: ITEM_DEVICE:${INT_CARD}p2
OR
if you don't have an mmc be sure that: ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2

So leafpad listed ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 (it means that I didn't use a memory card, or not?)

And after I turned off the N900. What's wrong? I have to type ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 somewhere?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

@actii
Do this if you have a memory card plugged in your N900:
Leafpad should open with your .item file. Be sure that your ITEM_DEVICE looks like this:
ITEM_DEVICE:{INT_CARD}p2
After this click on your N900's keyboard ctrl + s to save then exit.
Reboot to Nitdroid.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I can't be clearer than this...

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Hmm, now if I start maemo, type to Xterm root, leafpad /etc/multiboot/11 and tab (nothing happens) and after enter, leafpad opens empty (nothing text)..and name of file is 11........:(

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Okay, assuming nitdroid kernel is in MyDocs:
Then do NOTHING, just turn off your N900, and turn it on again, and choose Nitdroid.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I did it....................but the same process again.

1 - Maemo 2.6.28-omap1
2 - NITDroid 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2

I click 2, then shows..

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

From your quote:
Device: mmcblk1p2
mmcblk1p2 is the memory card itself, there should be something wrong in the 11xxxxx.item file...
Try this should work:
Change ITEM_DEVICE to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Gotcha! Sorry I gave you the wrong directory: /etc/multiboot/ is wrong
it should be /etc/multiboot.d/11 (then press tab bla bla bla).
Just follow my upper post.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I did it and now shows a .item file like before, there is:

ITEM_NAME="NITDROID 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

but there were are before.. there is mmcblk0p2.. I have this still open (leafpad) should i save it somewhere? but i think it'll be the same problem.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Do you have a memory card plugged in your N900? Please answer me please I'm begging ya! ;):p:(

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Oh so.. I would change ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2 to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 so if it seems like this?..

ITEM_NAME="NITDROID 2.6.28.NIT.06 on mmcblk0p2"
ITEM_KERNEL=2.6.28.NIT.06
ITEM_MODULES=ext3
ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro

and after I save it (where)? and turn off N900?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I HAVEN'T MEMORY CAR IN MY N900.

So, Should I follow my upper post?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Finally! Yes, yes do it! Change ITEM_DEVICE=$ {INT_CARD}p2 to ITEM_DEVICE:mmcblk0p2 then click ctrl + s on your N900's keyboard and leafpad will automatically save it.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

I swear I haven't plugged memory card in my N900. I swear after 3 times.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Mission completed! Thank you for your time, really! I hope that will be good.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

so did it work?

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Yaaaaaaaaaaay! I'm gonna Partaaaaaaaaay! WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

BTW when you get to the "touch the android to begin" click on the four angles of the "touch the android to begin" clockwisely to skip that part. Or just keep touching the android and all parts of the screen randomly, you'l get it.

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

There's a problem, my SIMcard doesn't load. I am normally in nitdroid, but no signal..

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

By installing the power kernel would i be able to use the usb host mode app in maemo, cause it says i dont have matching kernel..???
i have nitdroid installed...

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

You -as normal user- have no write access to that file, so leafpad wants to create a new copy.
Open leafpad as root (rootsh has to be installed)
or type
sudo leafpad


@ammyt
Respect :)

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

ok i was having boot issues so heres how i fixed it. i installed gingerbread to emmc while the microsd card was in, now i cant get it to boot to gingerbread with the card in even if i use

ITEM_DEVICE={INT_CARD}p2


if i take the card out it boots fine with

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p2

but i would love to be able to boot it with the card in. so when i changed it to

ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk1p2

it boots with the card in. problem solved!

Re: [TUTORIAL GIGA UPDATE] Do you smell it, do you? It's Gingerbread!
 

Instead of using bzip2 to extract the .tar.bz2 and then using tar, you can install the "tar-gnu" package and then use "gtar xjvf" instead of "tar xvf" to directly extract the compressed tarball. Or: "bzcat /path/to/file.tar.bz2 | tar xv" :) This saves some time and space.
