Sailfish boots but not nitdroidor firefox . Did I miss something ? or is that got to do with reflashing ubiboot after copying of preinit-harmattan. Kindly help, if possible.
Well, for Nitdroid you need the preinit_nitdroid file, of course.
Did yo read through the readme file and wiki page, I am fairly certain that those things are mentioned there?

Sailfish boots because unlike Harmattan & Nitdroid it does not need a preinit file to start up, the init file of Sailfish is already included in the Sailfish filesystem image.

May be, if each step is indexed well, that will make it simple for all.
Ubiboot is composed of 2 separate but interdependent parts; the ubiboot kernel and the cpio+config files.
Uninstalling ubiboot is very easy, all you have to do is to flash a "regular" kernel to your device, for example using the L2-fixed kernel:
sudo flasher -a firmware.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

After that your system does not use the cpio and config any longer, so ubiboot is effectively uninstalled.
