Install the flasher application to create a boot menu (won't have to repeat this if you redo these steps in the future for a new SD card)

# cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/
# tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz (check location of Tar first)
# cd initfs_flasher/
# ./initfs_flash
Question: Throughout the entire process, do I say yes to everything?
_________________________________________________
NO. You only say yes to go ahead with the flasher. You say no
to 'create a backup', 'dropbear....', Yes to delete factory testing stuff. It is in Fanoush .tgz readme file.

re are a few questions I could recall: do you want to install telnet?,

_____________________________________________
No
_________________________________________________

do you want to delete unecessary extras,
____________________________________________
yes
________________________________________________


do you want to install something bear.
________________________________________________

no

Anyway, I said yes to all. After those questions, it asks me, " are you ready to reflash the image?" Saying yes would install something I believe and reboot asking me which slot I want to boot on ( I thought this only occurs when we get to the last step which is after installing the OS). Saying No doesn't seem to have the file installed because, then after I complete the whole process as in the final step of rebooting after installing OS, it doesn't allow me to choose which to boot from.
I also would like to include that reflashing the image, makes me reboot and I chose MMC card, partition 2, ext2, but it failed and started to boot on flash. I receive this once I get to the desktop view: Memory corrupted or not formatted. ***Notice: I have followed other people's advise and had used panasonic formatted SD card. I have selected the FULL format and something Flash on, however, as a result after the completion, it shows that the card has been formatted to 15.4gb and so on, but it puts (it failed to do a FULL format Flash on because this device does not support it). Once again, the SDHC I am using is a 16GB A-DATA from neweggs $65.

__________________________________________________ ______
NO. You have to do a full format or whatever it called, something that it took forever to finish, is the correct process. A quick format does not do squat.

9. For this problem of memory corrupted after it reflash the image, I began to take the last step before installing the initfs_flash.tgz which is:
mkdir ~/bin
cd ~/bin
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/nupgrade.sh
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/tar
chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar
__________________________________________________ ____
You only have to do that once. once you have done, you can skip this process from now on.
__________________________________________________ _______


and then sudo gainroot
cd /home/user/bin
./nupgrade.sh 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

In this step, it clones the OS2008, Sadly, it completed with many files not being able to install due to the limited capacity.


!
__________________________________________________ ___
No. It failed not because of capacity. It failed because the card is not partition right.

Redo the panasonic low level formatting, the rest will be straight forward.

and the new script does not use step 1,2,3,4. The new script everything is automatic, look at thread #292 of Milhouse simple clone.....thread.

Hey, please stop asking many questions in one post, it took me a lot of problem to answer. I do not have a good blogger...........

Regarding the formatting, use any option but the quick option, it takes for a long time, quick formatting does NOT work.

post back if question
