[solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
Hello guys, I've updated my phone with kernel power 52, because it has benn finally arrived in the repos.
I used multiBOOT. Because I don't have an SDcard. After this, I got the guru meditation ********, and the phone wasn't able to boot. I flashed kernel power 51, and all I got now, is a Nokia sign. How can I backup my data? How can I recover the phone without full reflash? |
Re: Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
I flashed KP50, and I've got multiboot back. Strange effect...
So now I've got android 2.3.4 too, and backupmenu |
Re: Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
Please give me zimages for Kernel power 51r1, and kernel-power 52!

Re: Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
Problem solved, thanks to PanzerSajt.
The tool was rescue OS, WiFi FTP. I copied the KP52 zimage, and made a multiBOOT .item file for it. And works like a charm. rescue OS |

with kp52 ipv6 support v2 works. with kp51 it doesn't

Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
I'm using multi-boot and wasn't sure when I saw those power kernel package updates come up yesterday... especially since the bootimg one mentioned u-boot specifically.
So can a multiboot user upgrade to power kernel 52? |
Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
Yes but it's not as easy as you think...
You will have to add the bootmenu entry MANUALLY. You will have to copy two files to two destinations after upgrading, and before reboot. This bootmenu script to /etc/multiboot.d/ This vmlinuz to /boot/multiboot/ I hope it goes well. If not, you can try out rescueOS like I did. |

Is there any way to uninstall NITdroid safely? The autoinstaller removes kernel-power too... |

mount /home/ /and apt-get --purge --auto-remove remove nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-(07or 06) (after that operation you get "device resorce busy bla,bla" it's normal because you delete kernel,which needed to boot droid from /and don't worry) cd .. remove with rm -rf every folder,with the exception of these folders "opt,user,and,lost+found" cd /home/user/MyDocs umount /and rm -rf /and cd /home ls -a checked if left eventually for folder "and" sometimes is happen then removed it This is which I use when installed droid on emmc,but under NITdroid autoinstaller,I don't know but probably is the same method |

Thanks! I will use your guide as soon as I've got the microSD in my phone.

Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
While we're on the subject, I have a second n900, and I want to apt-get kernel power 49, does anybody have a clue what switches/options i need to use to pull down version 49 (i.e. not the latest version)?

Please also make sure you never used moveroot.sh scripts that are floating all over the internet. These scripts used to move files from /usr/lib and /usr/share to some place like /home/usr/lib and /home/usr/share. These folders are also blindly used by nitdroid as part of its system. If you remove those your e.g. locale settings will get screw badly. Well there are ways of rebuilding those, but finding these information on talk.maemo.org depends toomuch on luck than on search skills :eek: |

I used it at the last reflash, and had no issues. But I don't want troubles, and I have space, so it's a possibility, that I don't uninstall everything, just multiBOOT, or I just delete the old and big NIT droid files. But I think disappear's guide is good. And I'll make a full backup before. Thanks for warning. |

You update through Hildon application manager, then you follow my instructions about copying that two files. I've uploaded everything, and I told what I did. I can't do more... Use midnight commander, it's easier for copying. After all, you should reboot, and see what happens. |

But... now i removed MultiBoot and installed BootMenu - now it's wrecked again :( Can't create boot item - BootMenu don't see /etc/bootmenu.d/*.item files. EDIT (resolve): Just reflash internal nand by KP52:
Maybe need reinstall BootMenu or just return to MultiBoot?... |
Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
how did you get the ">" character under rescueOS to get the wifi running?

Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
Can someone point me to a download for kp52?

Extract if needed. Am assuming you meant the zimage. |
Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
hrm. Thanks... that's 1/2 the battle --- but I believe I also need the modules.
... and that the 1 last bit of stuff I need is the /dev entry that represents the mmc that I plug into the unit --- so I can mount that to transfer the modules onto the filesystem. Please? :) |
Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
ok... :( Not working. When I press-and-hold the power button, it vibrates and displays the "NOKIA" black on white background. The LED goes from dark to full brightness white and then this all pauses. Then after some time it vibrates again with the "NOKIA" screen reappearing somewhat dimmer.
I've flashed the kp-52 fiasco image ... I've verified that the modules directory is correctly populated. I suppose something worse is wrong. is there a kp52 root image I can use to fix things ... or do I have to go _way_ back to nokia kernels to get this back? |

Re: [solved] Kernel-Power 52 wrecked my phone, multiBOOT
I tried to install nitdroid on SD, but uboot never found the kernel on any of my SD partitions. I tested with FAT,ext2 and ext3...
I was able to boot installing the kernel image on the internal memory. |
