[SOLVED] Had to cancel NITDroid install, can no longer use SSU and power kernel
 
Hi guys, I had to cancel my NITDroid install in xterminal. Now I don't see SSU functions such as the rotate lock and I can't boot into power kernel. Any help?


Edit:

Here's what I did (thanks for the help guys)
I uninstalled the NITdroid installer via xterm
Then I uninstalled multiboot by using dpkg -r multiboot, it didn't allow me at first because of a dependency to a kernel so I used dpkg -r [the name it listed in the error in xterm]
It works now, I hope this might help some other people who had the misfortune of having their installation cancel part way through.

There is a tutorial on Wiki or on NiTdroid forum on how install and remove this.
Anyway, SSU shouldn't just disappeared. Try reboot.

Hi Friend,

I didn't see any problems with installing the following altogether:

1. Bleeding Edge wl1251 Wireless Driver (it already has the Power Kernel, FYI) - http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ad.php?t=69449
2. NITDroid (tried Gingerbread and N11 "Vostok") - http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_install_on_EMMC
3. Backupmenu - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67866

...so whenever I boot my N900 with the keyboard slid open I see 4 items:

1. Stock Kernel
2. Power Kernel with the Bleeding Edge wireless drivers
3. NITDroid
4. Backupmenu

I also have CSSU installed. In fact I'm already recording a video tutorial for it. :)

Just make sure you follow the instructions to the dot and it will work properly. I flashed my phone 3 times and followed the instructions just to be sure. The order of my setup was:

1. Install Backupmenu
2. Install NITDroid
3. Install Bleeding Edge Wireless Driver

I didn't install the "solo" Power Kernel anymore since to my understanding, the Bleeding Edge Wireless Driver was already "built" based on the Power Kernel. It would just take up unnecessary space on my N900.

I have tried reboot, it didn't work
I'm now trying out apt-get remove nitdroid-installer, it uninstalled the installer.
After a reboot I now have the CSSU features but I don't have the kernel-power
I'll try reinstalling

Whenever I try to boot it it fails the first time and the second time it goes into the regular kernel. Wat do?

Uninstall Multiboot and you should be fine.

Re: [HELP] Had to cancel NITDroid install, can no longer use SSU and power kernel
 
It tells me that there are dependency problems, do I uninstall kernel-power and then remove multiboot and then reinstall?

Hi Friend,

Let me just finish the video tutorial, hopefully it will help visualize how to do it. I'm a bit busy currently with some household chores. :)

EDIT: By the way I don't install the Power Kernel anymore whenever I install the Bleeding Edge Wireless Drivers (for wireless network cracking), since it is already built on the Power Kernel, i.e. it already offers the ability to overclock.

Hi Friend,

I'll probably continue on with the video tutorial in the evening (it's currently 10:50am here in the Philippines). In the meantime, i can confirm that my previous post works. I am now on my 6th re-flash to test for problems and everything is working fine, all booting fine:

1. Stock Kernel
2. Power Kernel with Bleeding Edge Wireless Drivers
3. NITDroid (N11 "Vostok")
4. Backupmenu

Here is the order of installation that I did, from a freshly-flashed N900. I simply followed the instructions to the dot:

1. Multiboot with Backupmenu: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=67866
2. NITDroid: http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_...development.29
3. Kernel Power with Bleeding Edge Wireless Drivers: http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ad.php?t=69449

So whenever I boot up my N900 (with keyboard slid out), I would see 4 boot menu items:

1. Stock Kernel
2. Power Kernel with Bleeding Edge Wireless Drivers
3. NITDroid
4. Backupmenu

After achieving this, I went ahead with installing CSSU. Still working properly. :)

Please don't hijack other peoples support threads :/

Okay, I've uninstalled multiboot by using dpkg -r on the kernel that was written out in x-terminal (it listed which kernel had the dependency in xterm all along it seems), I'm going to reinstall kernel power and see if everything works :P
also, this might be because I didn't restart the phone after uninstalling kernel power and multiboot but when I was refreshing the application manager the phone shut off. Huge wtf moment right there.

After reinstalling everything is back to normal. I'll put the ''log'' in the OP for info
