is what I found in there, I guess that is correct?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Yeah, that's correct. Can you check your item file for me. This is in etc/multiboot.d

You should have one something like NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item. Make sure that file is there and post the contents for me please?

If is not there, tell me what you do have please.

hi,

I got NITDroid working on my N900, everything was alright... however, after the battery gone while using NITDroid, the phone switched off itself.

strange thing starts here: firstly I tried charge it under NITDroid mode, but it didn't charge; so I switched back to Maemo and charge the battery to FULL, then reboot the phone into NITDroid, problem happens: as soon as I see the main UI, it indicates battery 0% and need to be charged, and the notification light flashing RED. Nothing happen when I connect the charger and phone gone to dead after a few seconds.

I took the battery out and retried a few times, even used another battery from 5800, but all the same: it looks like the NITDroid just remembered the battery status as EMPTY (even after battery recharged FULL under Maemo) and I just cant charge it under NITDroid...

thank you in advance!

Every time I seen an issue like this, a reboot has fixed it. If it doesn't it's likely that some files have not extracted correctly. Follow step 2 in the announce thread to wipe SD card and reinstall.

Sure thing, File is there containing

ITEM_DEVICE=${EXT_CARD}p2
ITEM_FSTYPE=ext3
ITEM_FSOPTIONS=rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro,commit=3

files name is : NITdroid-2.6.28.NIT.05.item

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Seems like you were in / not /and when you extracted the rootfs. Essentially, you have filled up the mameo root and removing the un-needed files is going to be a right pain as files would have extracted into already existing folders.

Only real way to fix this is re-flash.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic - Updated
 

Well that is all correct too. Strange as I have only seen the boot loop with nitdroid if the kernel hasn't been there or the item file is wrong. Just to check, you are using the most up to date version of multiboot???

If so, I think that something has gone wrong during installing. Remove the kernel from /boot/multiboot and re-do

This will replace the kernel for you so we can see if that was the issue. If this doesn't fix it I think you are going to need to do a full re-install of NITDroid.
