About the no space left, it sounds like it has mounted the rootfs on your phone. Try check the rootfs memory, if it says 0mb just do this in exterm and then try remount the mmcblk1p2 and re-extract the .tar file. In xterm: cd /and 'enter' rm -rf 'enter' (i'm not sure if you need to be root) Hope it helps e: Also try this in xterm before extracting again, just to see if you have the right partitions. In xterm: sfdisk -l 'enter' (-L) (you need to be root)
