HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

Hi

From the instructions on the Preenv forums regarding an Asphalt save issue, I was told to do the following :


I did this and restarted my device and now I can't boot into maemo :/

I really don't want to reflash as I haven't made a backup for about a week which is when I upgraded to PR1.3. Can somebody please give me a helpful solution to fix this without reflashing?

Thanks Much Appreciated

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

You took my advice the wrong way, I meant the /usr folder in preenv, I thought you would of understood that =/

I'm very sorry though, I really did think you would of understood me, I'll be clearer next time.

Sorry :confused:

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

:/ Its alright.

Was in need of a reflash anyway.

Don't worry about it mate just next time be really precise in your instructions so something like this don't happen again :)

Time to reflash my device :p Good thing I don't have tog et up early tomorrow :) Means I got time to reinstall everything! :)

I appreciate your understanding, I honestly do feel bad, this will teach me to be more precise with my instructions indeed. I hope you have no further issues, if you do look up bakuur in the members list, tell him I said he might be able to help you, he'll be busy with school though, but he can still help you out if anything. It's the least I can do.

I take the community part very literally :) If we end up flaming each other and going off at one another then nothing gets solved :p

Thanks I shall do that if I get stuck with anything :) Just finished my reflash so I now have a fresh PR1.3

I always do an OTA upgrade and put off the clean reflash until I mess the phone up or it gets too slow anyway. You just gave me a reason to stop being lazy! :p

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

I have never performed a reflash to date, I might however flash for the next upgrade idk we shall see, I honestly didn't want to upgrade to PR1.3 and it happened by accident. Smh

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

I love this phone. Being able to reflash and everything. I've reflashed several times. One I went through ALOT of reflashes after attempting the NITDroid manual install half asleep and slightly piss :p

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

I was about to try NitDroid then I discovered WebOS games and I did that instead because I honestly just wanted to have some fun games on my N900 I don't care too much about Android, Maemo's fine for me. Works well, does what I want, if anything goes wrong, I've got this community, and for really bad days, I can reflash.

I really appreciate the work on Preenv

Btw do you need me to give you the better instructions yet?

Re: HELP! Chown my /usr folder...
 

Yeah the Preenv work has been amazing. Given alot of new life into the device. Not yet. I think I have figured out how to do it :) Gotta install all my old apps :p

Just realised I didnt make an application backup since end of august :p Gotta make sure I get some of the newer apps as well my old ones..
