This guide is for whom want to use Nitdroid-Installer to install Gingerbread N12 UMay
  1. Download lastest Nitdroid Installer (http://downloads.nitdroid.com/nitins....2.7_armel.deb) and install it
    If you use dpkg -i to install and you not have an older version (i.e. 0.2.6) already installed, you should manage by hand all dependecies (i.e. multiboot, rootsh, ...etc).
    As workaround please before install 0.2.6 from repository and then manual update to 0.2.7.
    This can be done with:
    Code:
    sudo gainroot
apt-get install nitdroid-installer
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb
  2. Create on folder /home/user/MyDocs/ a text file named "nitdroid.manifest" and copy into it this text:
    Code:
    #
# Manifest file for NITDroid
#

# Root filesystem tar balls
rootfs		http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/N12_UMay.tar.bz2					a5846b46bce11bebbe3d3b0dab1663d6

# Deb packages
package		http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_7-rc7_armel.deb		22b5eb2a0047bf131898a90774a70912
    Or use the prebuild manifest attached to this post (decompress it in MyDocs)
  3. Connect N900 to internet using UMTS or WiFi
  4. Open an xterm console and type nitdroid file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.manifest to start installation process
  5. Answer YES (upper case) to the question appeared and wait for the Nitdroid N12 UMay download and then installation process

Now directly tested by me and I confirm that it works using the supplied (attached zip) manifest!


Notes:
  • Installer writes its log on file /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/installer.log
    If you have problems please read it to see what goes wrong
  • If you have problems of truncated files during download, please delete all files from directory .nitdroid before retry.
    Code:
     rm -f /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/*
  • To avoid N900 download problems you can download all files mentioned on manifest with a PC and copy them to N900 within .nitdroid directory (on MyDocs shared disk).
    Doing so, when you will start Nitdroid-Installer, it will find out the needed files already downloaded and it will start installation without download them
  • A possible but not tested manifest for version 2.3.7 can be found here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=116
Attached Files
File Type: zip Manifest_2.3.3.zip (346 Bytes, 2083 views)

It uses Nitdroid-Installer so it is an installation to external MicroSD

Modification is NOT needed, actually. If you take a look onto nitdroid-installer sources (yeah, it is source by itself ) you'll find function "get_opts". look at parameter near "http".

Sorry some errors typing (three / needed) nitdroid file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.manifest

If it doesn't work yet, I must do some tests myself to find out how the option must be written
