I've been tinkering with the 2nd option, following the wiki and a youtube video. I have also used the special ubiboot version for dual-boot with sailfish.... still not working.
When booting with ubiboot I can see the initial animation with two options: Meego and Sailfish.
When I tap in the Info option, the credits are showed and tapping on 'back' the main menu is shown, but whenever I tap on Sailfish (or Meego) icons, the screen turns to black and nothing happens. Only once it showed the text message:
Code:
Boot OS/kernel selection failed! Please run a maintanance boot
I'm starting to think there's a problem between bootmanager and actual OS/Kernel loading since it is happening the same with Sailfish and Harmattan, or even a hardware problem...
The weird thing is that I can boot/telnet/tinker into the device with ubiboot (i.e: when connected to usb cable), and all files/partitions, etc. look ok. I've even been able to see the logs/dmesg files generated by ubiboot.
Can this be related to the CAL or mtd NAND mentioned for the first option?

Thank you very much for your suggestions juiceme (and for peterleinchen too)

Regards.
