Hello all,
I'm having some trouble getting into openmode.
I must have tried a dozen different ways, incl. the version in the wiki and the version in the README.
I use this flasher version, the firmware.bin and emmc.bin from here, and this openmode kernel.
Do all these files fit together?
I am not getting any errors.
The last command's full output:
It looks OK.
But no matter what and how I try, I keep getting a yellow warning triangle when I boot.
At some point I managed to ssh into the phone and executed this command:
I also tried the same command as user and got the same error.
Did the open kernel even flash properly? the uname command suggests otherwise?

But no matter what and how I try, I keep getting a yellow warning triangle when I boot.
At some point I managed to ssh into the phone and executed this command:

Did the open kernel even flash properly? the uname command suggests otherwise?

However this does not get rid of the "ugly-triangle-and-warning" screen in the startup.
The problem is that to remove the openmode-warning with disclaimer-cal you need to do that before booting into openmode, because it is stored in a memory location hat is no longer accessible in openmode
So, the correct procedure is;
- 1. Flash the device clean in closed mode
- 2. remove the ugly warning
- 3. Flash the device back-to-back to openmode

The reason the kernel string in uname looks exactly like in the closed-mode kernel is because I made it so
If the kernel version string had changed, then you'd have to copy in new modules too. Now as it is the openmode kernel works as a drop-in and uses the same modules under /lib/modules/

I must say it's a bit of a treasure hunt wild web adventure with half the files referenced in the tutorials gone... But your (swagman.org yours?) website has everything I need now - I hope.

Finally, after removing the warning with 'disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode', i settled to not doing a full flash but just this:
Code:
./flasher64 -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc ./flasher64 -a main.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f
Code:
rm -fr .accounts/* rm -fr .activesync/* rm -fr .aegis/*
Can somebody hint what could be wrong. Or what are the correct flashing commands, after disabling the warning message.

It's exactly like you described; first do the 'disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode', then flash back to back.
However I cannot remember exactly what was the command line so that the device gets flashed so that the openmode warning is still off. (I should dig up one of my old N9's and check it...)
About the other problem, crashing of applications when installing stuff; I remember that was a problem which was patched and the patch/explanation should be somewhere on TMO too.

Skimming through the README and the thread I just found (after 7y) that juiceme has a small quirk in his description which I never noticed as I was doing it on my own way.
See here
https://talk.maemo.org/show.hreadt.p...&postcount=698
and here (kne post earlier)
https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.ph...&postcount=697
afair you do not need to flash emmc for back-to-back, firmware is enough. It does not hurt either.
BUT what you must not give is the parameter '-R' for the firmware flash after disclaimer removal and before kernel flash.
which I never noticed as I was doing it on my own way.See here

And last, do the back-to-back flashing.
The back-to-back flashing procedure is to make sure that when the device boots up the first time after a clean flash, it boots to open mode.Why this is important; After a clean flash, the first boot creates the aegis keys for the device. These keys are different for open mode and closed mode, and if you have closed mode keys in open mode device you will have lots of random problems.
So, how this is done, is you need to clean-flash, and then immediately flash an open mode kernel before the device boots after the clean flash.In Linux (as well as Windoze) you can enter 2 flashing commands on the same row, separated by semicolon, so that when first command is executed, the second command is executed right after it:
sudo flasher -F firmware.bin -F emmc.bin -f-R; sudo flasher -a firmware.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R
BUT what you must not give is the parameter '-R' for the firmware flash after disclaimer removal and before kernel flash.

Thanks @peterleinchen; Indeed it has been quite a few years since I last played with those that I was not sure any longer what was the exact flasher command to get the desired result
