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

i am boot Harmattan,
please share the original files: sbin/evtap & preinit

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

You need those only if you want to use Backupmenu without ubiboot.
Ubiboot uses a bit different approach.

However, if you really need those:

• The file "/sbin/preinit_harmattan" is same as the original "/sbin/preinit", so you can get it from the preinits.tar file.
• As for evtap, you can find it in many places, for example if you want to compile it yourself, the source is on my svn server: https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/sillykbd/TRUNK/evtap.c
  Compiled binary you can get from ubiboot rootfs for example: https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/animat.../usr/bin/evtap
  (that's tha latest, version 0.9.0, I am not sure which one you need as the command parameters have changed in different versions...)

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

Hi
I had installed BackUp Menu before I installed Ubiboot.
I want to add BackUp Menu to Ubiboot (use Ubiboot to launch to BacUp Menu)
I thought to use NitDroid menu so I tried combinations of these changes to Ubiboot rev. 0.3.3:

a)
1) G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit"
2) G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/init"

b)
1)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage.pr13"
2)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/backupmenu/boot/zImage.pr13"
3)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/multiboot/boot/zImage.pr13"

c)
above changes with zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix

but phone didn't boot!:( and the warning: use maintenance kernel and ...

I attached Screen Shots of BackUpMenu containings.
I would be glad to recieve your guidances to run BackUp Menu with Using Ubiboot.

with regards

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

First thing is, I suggest you update to ubiboot 0.3.5 as it contains lots of bugfixes.

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.

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

I did but it went to Nitdroid menu with no kernel and with adding kernels the mentioned error.

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

Did you install ubiboot 0.3.5 ?
If so, please post the log from MyDocs/boot/ubiboot.log
If not, please post the log from /var/log/ubiboot.log

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

Hi Dear Juiceme and thanks a lot :)
Not yet, but I will install it tonight.
I attached it.
I don't know any thing about programming of BackUp Menu and Ubiboot, but I think Ubiboot base is runinnig OS in main menu with the selected submenu kernel is it right? So I think we need to an icon in main menu with no sub menu (for kernel selection) that only runs preinit. Or the "i" icon in sub menu (after we select it in main menu) can be used for running preinit.
What is your opininon? Is it easy to change ubiboot-02.menus.cpio to do above idea or its a time taking process?

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

Unfortunately the more important log file (ubiboot.log) is empty in your zipfile :(

As for the menu, I think the way to launch the backupmenu is from it's own icon, the tools menu in 0.3.5

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

Hi,
i wasnt using android for a long time and recently wanted to boot into it ( im using backup menu boot selector ) and all what happens after choosing android is power off.
I did an android restore from a previously made backup but the problem stays. I gues it happened after i updated to the last version of backup menu 1.1_9 . Is there an older version ie 1.1_8 somewhere to download??
Or maybe you guys know how to fix that issue??

Cheers

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

Dear Fellows

I have a question regarding the matter of flashing the kernel for this app so Do I really have to flash it for installing back up menu and what will happen if I install it with no flashing the kerenl for example

and is it now stable for installing only i need is to back up my apps and everything in the device

hi salah25 ..


What are you doing here!

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

Hmm well actually you do not need to flash a different kernel, if you already have an Open Mode kernel installed :)
Just installing the BackupMenu files is enough.

Usually people want to run Nitdroid etc. on the side and that is the reason they want to install Android-compatible kernel.

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:

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

Bump, I have the same problem.

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

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 ?

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

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

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

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.

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

Do you have the backupmenu files correctly installed in "/opt/multiboot/"?
If you have some problem there then the startup script defaults to booting to Harmattan instead of backupmenu.

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

I installed Backupmenu Tar is unpacked without any errors, /opt/multiboot/ have all files from tar archive.

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

Pretty strange, as at least looking at your configuration it should work correctly;

• Your ubiboot.conf has G_OS2_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit" which means that it will use /sbin/preinit as the next phase initscript.
• The preinit script that you included looks correct
• If the permissions of the preinit script were wrong, it would not boot at all

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

I flashed a couple of times and tried with clean device:

• 2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix + BackupMenu = works (boots to Backupmenu)

• 2.6.32.61-plus_20131128 + BackupMenu = works (boots to Backupmenu)

• 2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix + Ubiboot + BackupMenu = does not work (boots to Harmattan)

• 2.6.32.61-plus_20131128 + Ubiboot + BackupMenu = does not work (boots to Harmattan)

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

Allright, then it looks like there is some problem indeed launching backupmenu from a session running after ubiboot.
I'll have to investigate this sometime when I have spare time.

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

Ok, I've been looking on the web thoroughly, but all the links to BackupMenu seem to be dead --backupmenu_1.1_9-bootit.tar and backupmenu_1.1_9.tar as well--

Is there another backup solution? Or if that's not the case, could anyone upload the packages again?

Thanks a lot!

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

You can backup your N9 in GNU/Linux using 'maintenance mode' of ubiboot.

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

Do you mean by copying all the content on the partitions? (MyDocs, /user and rootfs)
