Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

when ever i tried to reboot nokia logo appear and goes for reboot again.
i today upgraded my kernel power and updated it from HAM. i have kernel power 49 now .but later i think i should go back to my KP48 i felt older ver. was smooth. so i tried to uninstall it from HAM (my noobness) but it gave me erorr and showed probles that "kernel power sttings" is the problem. so i uninstall sttings from HAM.later i tried to uninstall KP 49 from HAM but it said "unable to install" so i tried Wiki and i open xterminal and type

Code:

sudo gainroot

apt-get install --reinstall -y kernel kernel-flasher

so it siad something like "could not lock var other prosess is using" (i dont remember properly)

i than think i should reboot my device and than try this with xterminal but it does not boot anymore.when ever i tried to reboot nokia logo appear and goes for reboot again

here than i searched and tried to reflash kernel using my pc(xp 32 bit) i opened keyboard insert usb holding "U"key and type in flasher

Code:

flasher-3.5 -f --flash-only=kernel -R -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.004_PR_COMBINED_004_ARM.bin

here flasher says "unknow argument specified"

plz help me

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

try with -k instead of --flash-only=kernel
if that does not work you have to extract zImage from .bin file using flasher and flash it

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

@nicholes,

For future reference: I think it's written just about everywhere that you should NEVER uninstall kernel-power using HAM. There's an extra icon in the app list for "Deinstall Kernel-Power", or something to that effect.

Reason is when you just remove kernel-power something (e.g. the standard kernel) has to replace the kernel that has been removed. The app takes care of that (presumably). HAM does not.

just reboot your device...if you still having reboot loop then use my code to install stock kernel...
FYI you shouldn't remove kernel power using HAM/FAM or even x-term...there a icon on your menu (nokia kernel) that is use to restore stock kernel in case you don't want to use kernel power anymore...

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

Your problem is that package "sdlquake-mmc1" cannot be configured (post-install).

The kernel-stuff is working fine (it is flashed correctly, and the modules point to the right ones).

Print name of current system.

Syntax

uname [-a] [-i] [-m] [-n] [-p] [-r] [-s] [-v] [-X] [-S systemname]
-a Print basic information currently available from the system.
-i Print the name of the hardware implementation (platform).
-m Print the machine hardware name (class). Use of this option is discouraged; use uname -p instead.
-n Print the nodename (the nodename is the name by which the system is known to a communications network).
-p Print the current host's ISA or processor type.
-r Print the operating system release level.
-s Print the name of the operating system. This is the default.
-v Print the operating system version.
-X Print expanded system information

I means that you have successfully removed kernel-power, and now you are running on the standard Nokia (OMAP) kernel.

That's what you wanted, right?

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

i dont want kernel v49 i want 48 that is why i am asking how do i get older kernel power?

Re: Urgent! reboot loop. After KP49 settings deinstallation need help Plz?

check the guides about commandline apt-get (and other apt-tools) use

you need use the option "keep version" with version ID of KP48 (or whatever you want) for all KP related packages (all with kernel-power in name)
then you need install the packages manually using apt-get from command line, it will download and install them. you can peacefully assume that if you call it just to install kernel-power-settings then all dependences would be automatically fullfilled (and it would work for both single- and multiboot config)

the method assumes you picked correct version for all related packages, and the old pacgages are still in repository (which not always may be true since repository system cleans the packages it feel to be much outdated)

this post should help you with all problem specific info but versions you may want, so keep searching for general info and the versions
