My N9, acting weird
 
hi guys!
i flashed my device like 3 days ago, downloaded some of my apps again; everything good
i tried to install android but failed (seems that my device is locked by operator)
anyhow i installed faster n9 (stable release)
the thing is these since day 1 of flash is acting weird:
toggles my grtalk avaibility online by itself
ask me again and again 4 my password (ovi account and gmail)
a few other stuff....
not sure why is this happening; hope someone knows
thanks :D

you have flashed open mode kernel so either go back to normal mode or delete your accounts by entering the following in terminal:

Code:
rm -rf /home/user/.accounts
rm -rf /home/user/.aegis
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync
After rebooting set up accounts again and it'll ask passwords only on the first reboot after creation...

flasher -f -F rootfs.bin --flash-only=kernel

That should flash back normal kernel but official guides say a rootfs flash is the way to go so try the above first and still you remain in open mode then do a rootfs-only flash...

just got curious, I am also in open mode with nitdroid install which i rarely use. Can the above mentioned solution work for me as in currently I require to enter my password at every reboot.

Cheers:)

What did you do :confused:

Those 3 lines of commands just delete all your accounts so that you can set them up again...You have a screen or output of what you did? Don't tell me you ended up typing something totally different and more sinister...

The same commands have been used by countless people countless number of times; they are even on forum.nitdroid.com so you must have screwed up somewhere...


Edit: I have a bad feeling what you have done is:
Code:
rm -rf /home/user/<space>.accounts
:(

seems like i screwed up... and now I lost all data and my phone is behaving weird :(

I get notification for messages, calls but nothing shows up in call logs or messages, also i lost all folders and all apps within them, everything got resetted, even i lost terminal app now coz it was in an folder,

and don't know what more i lost more... heading to reflash it...

will be more careful next time :mad:

kumary,

If your data was important in /MyDocs, I'm sure there are data recovery tools for recovering from vFAT partitions... Usually only a 7 times overwrite gets it off so IIRC you should be able to get things back ;)

not that important and after flashing it is a bit fast and now no open mode and no nitdroid... So happy with it now...:)

This is again /offtopic but teaches a lesson;

Just yesterday morning I spent couple of hours restoring a jenkins sever which a co-worker accidentally botched while trying to make a bit more room on a filled up disk partition.

He was deleting some old log files late at night, and accidentally wrote '/*' instead of '*/' ... :D

And the thing which REALLY was the bit which made it hurt was that he was doing it as root... Some of the CI modules used by jenkins were way back sometime installed as root, which btw is in this case completely unnecessary and that caused the logfiles to be owned by root... oh well :rolleyes:

Its not about doing as root; /home/user/ has user privileges so even as user you would have the same issue... Your fault I'm pretty sure is to have not read the command properly hence you ended up losing /home/user/ in entirety :(

yes, and i used space before accounts, coz in original post it seems like there is space between slash and .accounts :(

I got my lesson :mad:

and hope this will be helpful for others :)
