You tried it and it didn't work? There is some chance it will work, initfs version may be same like in previous FW. If not, it wil tell you so and won't change anything.

Yes.. After answering that I want to "remove the unneeded extra stuff" it starts processing things and fails with:

Code:
!!! unknown initfs version osso-RX-34.2007-38, cannot install bootmenu
Be glad to help with anything else you might need right after I get back from lunch here..

Oh, I see. Bad luck. I'll take a look at the firmware ASAP.

I have updated initfs_flasher.tgz with changes for this FW. It is untested but I hope it will work. There are no changes in linuxrc script which is the only thing that matters for bootmenu.sh script. USB recovery mode is also included but you may always answer no if you don't want it :-)

Please let me know if it works. I will probably update when Nokia releases new kernel source as I don't want to lose my private changes.

@fanoush
thank you for your excellent work with inifs flasher! Going to update soonishly.

I dunno if this has been mentioned before, but if someone manages to screw up their initfs (like me), you can flash only the initfs part from the kernel image like this:

Code:
./flasher-3.0 --flash-only initfs -F RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.38-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f

Soory, but I can't reflash initfs:
./initfs_flash: ./initfs_flash: 225: /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/initfs_flasher/mkfs.jffs2: not found
Cannot find initfs.bootmenu.jffs2, something failed, nothing flashed.

Looks like you might not have copied the entire "initfs_flasher" directory, as it's complaining about portions being missing. (mkfs.jffs2 to start) Did you just copy over the initfs_flash script by itself by chance?

I try. But after I copy mkfs.jffs2 from old packet and flashing jffs may N800 is dead :-( Now I reflash original firmware.

Symptoms look like you run out of disk space. But it is really hard to tell what went wrong since you provided almost zero information.

Missing mkfs.jffs2 looks like you either did something by hand or there was no space to extract it. I have checked the download and mkfs.jffs2 is there.

When you fill internal flash completely and reboot, device becomes bricked since the boot process needs to write.

I had many free space on device.
I load initfs_flasher.tgz from post #204, unpacked its and run ./initfs_flash script. Say yes for backup, free space, ssh and after them scipt terminate abnormaly with errors.
After them I copy mkfs.jffs2 from previos initfs_flasher.tgz and rerun ./initfs_flash.

When script successful ended I reboot N800 by press enter
Tablet not loaded, freezed on "NOKIA" screen
