How to see if execute permission without terminal?

Edit: Now worse "But menu script not found"

In the log you have "Cannot load Harmattan kernel /boot/Harmattan/boot/zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix"
This means that maybe you moded/renamed the kernel image, check that it is correct.

If you extract the preinits.tar file in the device the permissions will be correct. What you should not do is extract the files in windows and then transfer to the device, as that will break the permission bits.

If you do "ls -l /sbin/preinit*" on the device console, you see the permissions:
Code:

~ # ls -l /sbin/preinit*
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 10661  Sep  7  2011 /sbin/preinit
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  5754  Nov  1 09:32 /sbin/preinit_firefox
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 10661  Oct  4 07:25 /sbin/preinit_harmattan
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  5752  Feb 28  2013 /sbin/preinit_nitdroid
~ #

The "x" bits in the permission string mark that the file is executable.
If you do not see this string "-rwxr-xr-x" in the front of each filename, then you have a permission problem.

To correct it you can give command "chmod a+rx /sbin/preinit*"

Thanks but how to get access to the device in this situation - only way as I see it is USB = to Mount via Windows Paragon etc.?

It seems very odd now, the kernels return to disappear from /root the Menu script seems failed etc.:confused::confused:

So can I just start again with Back-to-back flashing from now on?

When you start the device with USB cable connected, you will get to the maintanance mode where you can telnet or ssh into the device.

It's easy to fix all the boot related problems from maintanance mode, as well as make backups etc...

OK but how to use this telnet/ssh? Normally I use putty:

but it seems not to work here?

With windows you need some NDIS drivers, or else it does not recognize the USB0 as ethernet device.

You might find some info by searching TMO.

OK thanks, tomorrow think follow coderus above and start all over again!

Or now Menu script work again but boot failure and when connect USB an Mount then again, again in /boot no zImage at all - it disappear!(map empty) after trying to boot from Ubiboot menu:confused::confused:

Can't boot after flash openmode kernel (showing Nokia short the device close) and can't do firmware flash! See attached:confused:

@Garp seems you removed original /sbin/preinit. yes, you need a Linux machine to fix it, or make rootfs reflash.

how to make rootfs reflash?

don't understand preinit problem but it was a mess on rootfs when mount via USB ex. /boot was empty and couldn't copy zImages to map!
