Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
Milhouse,
You made this software? It's very impressive. It shows on the boot menu that you can set up boot from mmc external, USB hard and recover from wifi? Wow! I want to later add those functions. My external drives can still connect through USB and everything else works the way it did before. Also it seems faster and more peppy. Boot is a tad faster too. I still have issues with high CPU that I would like to investigate. Any thoughts have others reported that issue? Again thanks for your efforts. Dan |
Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
Milhouse,
One last thing. The corrupted files problem seems to have cleared up with the process I went through because the tar and .sh apps I was able to get through wget? I think all those apps corrected the problem internally as far as wget being able to retrieve files from web. This is why I think what I created can be fixed without reflash. It's your call. I'm going to get some sleep and I'll check to see if you responded later. Thanks, Dan |

Try this, Yours 0 1 2 3 4 are fine, I do not know how to read 8 and 9. I would reboot, - xterm - sudo gainroot - cd ~/bin (DO NOT change Mil's script, follow exactly what the script is. No joking.) - ./nupgrade.sh 0 - ./nupgrade....... bun |
Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
Bunanson,
Didn't work so I used my backup to restore. Then reformatted the 16gb card. Both procedures worked. Now when I boot up the menu comes on for different types. Will try whole process again see what happens. If all else fails it's off to Nokia store for a reflash. Yikes! Milhouse please help when you get a chance. I will be here all day. :) Thanks guys, Dan |

Ignore the instructions in step 7.3 (see updated instructions) - you don't need to do this, it's entirely optional. Once you have completed step 7.2 you are done, finished. A link to Sardine is provided in the instructions (see 7.3), where the purpose of Sardine is explained in the "About" page. Suffice to say, you don't want or need it. |

(replying as I read this thread - two pages still to go, you may have fixed this by now!) :) EDIT: I see you're using a directory called ~/sin despite what the instructions say to use... the nupgrade.sh script expects tar to be in the ~/bin directory. If the tar file is not downloaded to ~/bin, you will need to edit the nupgrade.sh script to change /home/user/bin/tar to /home/user/sin/tar in order to compensate for your modifications. |

The mmc boot menu is by Fanoush, but yet it can be removed by reflashing just the initfs portion of the device which avoids losing any installed apps, or reflashing the whole firmware if you are happy to restart from scratch. But you don't need to do this, it won't solve your problem. Quote:

If you want to add USB boot support for your device please create a seperate thread!! :D For now let's focus on booting from your MMC/SD card. :) |

Re: Cloning OS to SD Card: Simplified instructions
Milhouse,
Many thanks. I had someone look at it and they told me the corrupt files were just going to keep harming the apps and as I add more it would compound the problem. I had wget not working that is why the tar app never made it to the finishline. I've learned an incredible amount and now at I least have a rudimentary understanding of what is going on. i've spent the day reading and looking over my notes as I went along. I had it reflashed at Nokia store and before I load any apps I will do this first. Luckily I make regular backups (about once a week) so I can go back to different points in the development of the n800. MMC boot seems to be the foundation from which all other apps can be platformed on. After this install I will add the USB Host app. Then the rest. Question - has anyone done it with a 16gb card? There doesn't seem to be limits to the size of the cards. Many many thanks to you and Bunanson and Fanoush these last couple of weeks. Dan Now back to getting my n800 where I want it. |
