thanks for the answer am thrilled but can you guide me how to undo the partition size which i made and get it back to it's previous condition?!!!

Show me how your partitions are right now.

Else see above #17 but be aware you will loose all and get back to default closed mode!

Hey guys i need help here. I have a Nokia N9 16GB and managed somehow to install Sailfish OS in a third partition. Then i tried to resize the partition since the sailfish partition was only 2GB, so i shrinked the other two partitions with gparted and leave like 12GB for Sailfish, but now when i choose Sailfish, it says it cannot find the kernel and do a maintainance reboot. I only changed the sizes, not the order or name but i tried flaging as bootable some partitions with no succsess. Is there any partition thaht have to be flagged as bootable? Whay can i do? I read somewhere that the beginning partition sector if changed, it will fail. Is there a solution for this? maybe a default partition scheme and at least recover the original meego inside? I have the mail.bin, flasher and stuff, but i really do not know what to do and i have a bricked N9 otherwise.

Please help.

Can you boot to Harmattan normally?
If so, check your ubiboot log (/home/user/MyDocs/boot/ubiboot.log) to see what's the problem.

Some updates

1) The phone does not boot into meego, that's totally fine because i fall completely in love with Sailfish

2) The phoen does boots into Sailfish OS with no trouble

But there are a couple of drawbacks that i need help with

a) I have no USB connection to the PC (debian Linux) so i have to transfer files through the telnet mode with the phone plugged at startup

b) I transfered some gigs of music in the /home/user folder but the music app does not refresh the library although the files are shown in the Sailfish terminal. File/folder permissions? What is the media folder to store mp3?

c) The 8MP camera is not working at all, it shows a stucked image half wallpaper/half camera controls, no buttons responding whatsoever.

d) Cannot download any app from the Jolla Store. Any trick there?

Any ideas? I totally can live without the camera but not without the mp3 man.

Some overall comments

1) keyboard is not shown when spanish input languaje is selected so cannot write Wifi's password and stuff
2) interaction is sometimes choppy but can live with that
3) When muting sounds and re-enabeling sounds, sounds don't come back at all, phone still muted, a reboot fix this
4) I miss the option for remove the text suggestion which i believe slows down a bit the rapid keyboard writing
5) When starting sms, most of the times have to execute 2 times because the first will crash, but then is starts ok.
6) Calls are ok, wifi ok, browser ok, even the battery life is better??

Thanks i really need to be able to listen to my mp3!

Is there anyway to completely remove Meego and stick with Sailfish forever in a single or minimum number of partitions?

Is there any site where i can be keeping posted of new sailfish developmente versions to try out for my N9? There are so many maemo forum pages that sometimes i get lost.

Sailfish totally blows my brains out, please help.

You know, the problem was that the phone was completely discharged so it was like dead. I managed to recharge it a bit with flasher doing flashing attempts (but no actually flashing anything) and then the phone booted up sailfish. Meego does not boot at all. The phone simply stays display off, no signs of booting process, no vibration, no white led... no nothing. Then yo have to press the lock like for 10 seconds for a reboot. Weird. Any ideas?

This is what says in the ubiboot logfile, it appearently could not mount some stuff, any ideas?

Your log looks perfectly good to me, the part about not mounting devices 4...7 is OK since that ony applies for people who have larger number of partitions. (unless you DO have partion 4, which you well should have if you have Nemo or Sailfish installed...)

As for booting the device, I can see from your log that the booting kernels are found correctly:

Feb 16 06:56:37 (none) user.notice root: Loading kernel /boot/Harmattan/boot/zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
Feb 16 06:59:03 (none) user.notice root: Loading kernel /boot/Sailfish/boot/bzImage

Now there's one thing I do not understand, where is the device loading the Sailfish kernel from since you do not have partition 4?
Do you have some nonstandard system in place? Or have you replaced your Harmattan on mmcblk0p2 with Sailfish?
And if you have, then where is it loading your Harmattan kernel from??

Could you show me your ubiboot.conf, have you made some mofification there?
Further on, if you have problem with booting Harmattan, are your preinit files correctly installed? Usually when kernel is loaded correctly but device hangs with black screen, the reason is missing/corrupted/permissions of /sbin/preinit_harmattan file.

I always had 3 partitions and i always thaught there were 3 partitions, one for each OS (Meego and sailfish) and the Meego's Nokia N9 partition. I followed this how to and i think maybe the 4rth partition was not created. Now i reflashed the Harmattan stock flash and lost the bootloader and cannot boot sailfish anymore. I was ale to use flasher to launch the moslo kernel and initrd but when it tries to load the 3 partitions and poup up as mass storage, it fails and prompt to the telnet green screen.

I would like to have a sailfish with a working mp3 player and wifi tethering or if this is not working yet, go back to meego, if it's possible, repartitiones for saving space. I used this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ugb4vosobg
Tell me, is this a correct guide?

I'm trying to follow this to do a repartitioning, mounting and resize with gparted, but the N9 stucks on the warning advice and no further going. Now it boots fine in MeeGo, but i'm missing the 10gb partition that i made for sailfish in my first post. How do i recover that space? Is there any partition reset script or tool maybe using flasher?

Thanks,
