This is a feature if ubiboot!

Why would you want to start with USB connected if not for maintenance mode?
Actually, there is a way to do it :D
Just start the menuscript manually when you are in telnet/ssh session;

This command will launch the menu and when selection is done, reboot automatically to the selected OS: "/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh"

This command will launch the menu and load up the kernel, but not boot device (so you can tweak the scripts, launch it again, etc...) : "/boot/menu/select_os_animated.sh"

Oh, well... ;)

...This may be exactly what I was looking for...

Because to answer mcbook: In my case, I'm trying to recover fro a flat battery, and I keep getting the ubiboot menu instead of the computer recognizing there's something to flash.

Based on one of the things I read about it somewhere, I think I'd be having an easier time with this if I'd ever actually gotten anything besides Harmattan configured correctly before I stopped playing with it last...

But this sounds more like a (flashing) driver problem. You are on Windows, right?
I have one laptop where I need to plug it in several times. And also to the extent that the N9 was not detected also. Plugging it in to another works always.
So what are you using?

If the device is in power-OFF state and you connect it to computer, before it wakes up NOLO will check for flasher connection, and if it exists then flasher gets priority. If this does not happen there are 2 possibilities:

1.) Your flasher is not getting access to the USB port
2.) Your device is not in real power-off mode

For problem 1, you need to fix your PC
For problem 2, you might want to try to press and hold the N9 power button for about 30 seconds or until flasher notices that the device is connected when you plug it in.

mcbook 2013-12-04 16:36
Have you tried to run flasher -i and then connect and just let it charge for a while...

After I select harmattan/nemo, the screen show:
Boot OS/kernel selection failed!
Please run a maintenance boot
Code:
/ # /boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: try_to_mount: not found
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: can't create /mnt/1//boot/ubiboot.log: nonexistent directory
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: can't create /mnt/1//boot/ubiboot.log: nonexistent directory
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: can't create /mnt/1//boot/ubiboot.dmesg: nonexistent directory
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: can't create /mnt/1//boot/ubiboot.dmesg: nonexistent directory
/boot/menu/select_and_boot_os.sh: line 84: can't create /mnt/1//boot/ubiboot.dmesg: nonexistent directory
umount: can't umount /mnt/1: Invalid argument
boot fine when run the sh again and disconnect the usb.
I have not mount any partition or umount them all.

I forgot to say that :)

The scripts assume that all your partitions are mounted under /mnt/1, /mnt/2, /mnt/3, ... etc
When init calls the script, partitions are mounted so. When you are in maintanance console, your partitions are exported via USB, and thus not mounted.

Before calling the scripts, you need to fo the following;
echo "" > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun0/file
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 /mnt/3
mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt/4
# (and also the rest of partitions, if you have more...)

Your ubiboot.conf, however is from the new version, so might it be possible that you have the nef conf, new CPIO but flashing has failed so you are still running with the old ubiboot kernel.
If that was the case, it sure would cause problems like these.
Thanks! It turned out I forgot to flash the new kernel. I flashed it and now I can boot again.

Edit: But I can only boot Harmattan. If I try to boot Android, Nemo or Firefox OS, the screen just goes black and stays that way.
