[How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay
 
1 Attachment(s)
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

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

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: workaround to install GingerBread N11 Vostok
 
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

Once this is done and end up woth default kernel and Nitdroid in the multiboot list, what's the easiest and best way to add power kernel to multiboot? Is it same as previous Nitdroid builds? (steps mentioned in the old Nitdroid guide below)

Thanks Fabry a fantastic work you got there. Forgive my noobness but what will happen if I try this while My nitdroid 0.0.9 is still currently installed? (installed in memory card) I don't want to run into a boot loop thanks

Of course not. This is just another/easy way of installing nitdroid.

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N11 Vostok
 
the download is taking quite a while, so is it possible to download the 137mb file myself and then put it in MyDocs and let the installation proceed from there on? what should be edited in the manifest file?

you can try manual installation guide given on wiki

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N11 Vostok
 
saw a few, but this seems to be a lot easier seeing that it's automated :P i'd like my nitdroid to be installed on my external memory card so if i were to install it manually after installing the 0.0.8 version (nitdroid installer), which manual installation should i use to install it on my memory card?

Download the file yourself and put it in /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/
I have never tried but I think nitroid installer will use it without redownload it

Probably you have done some typing errors during manifest creation.

Check your manifest file, common errors are:
  • ofono047_ori1008.tar.bz2 instead of ofono047_oril008.tar.bz2
    It is ORIL (lower case) the right name
  • nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_finall_armel.deb instead of nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
    It is FINAL1 and not FINALL

I suppose that simply you will loose your 0.0.9 installation that will be overwritten by 2.3.3 installation but I haven't personally tried

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N11 Vostok
 
getting Failure, bailing out aswell... tried to copy the files in .nitdroid folder but stays the same over and over.

copy pasted the manifest text on page 1, checked for typo's but it perfectly the same... so don't know why it inst working.

in the log file it just stops after downloading the vostok file (dont even know why it's downloading when I have the file in the directory?)

*edit* k seems it works now, I guess when the server is lagged... things won't go smooth with the install, so best bet it try and try I guess.

Hi can anyone help me please? I am getting the following error when trying to install this:

You could just use this tutorial.
http://wiki.maemo.org/Nitdroid_easy_install_on_EMMC

At installing the N11 just change everything that says N11 to N12. Worked for me :)
Awesome that SMS is working now, accelerometer is also working partialy. Holding the device upside down is the center.

I don't get it... What does Market Out of the Box mean when it's not even in the menu?
I have successfully overwritten 2.2.1/0.0.9 with N12, and all my apps and settings are there. Just not Market... Should I reset all of it to get Market or is it something else?

It is probably only a network error.

If Nitroid installer fails to download the files it emits error "bailing out"

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay
 
One quick question, In the following can you redirect


# Deb packages
package http://downloads.nitdroid.com/e-yes/..._rc3_armel.deb 7a81c6815ba8748e5bd42e03ddd699cb

also to refer to a local file by specifying the file path??

(say if I already downloaded the file on a faster connection)

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay
 
Hi. For those who downloaded the files nitdroid and N12_UMay.tar.bz2 - kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb in a PC and copied to the N900 can do the following:

Modify the nitdroid.manifest with the following contents:

Code:

# Root filesystem tar balls
rootfs file:///home/user/MyDocs/N12_UMay.tar.bz2 a5846b46bce11bebbe3d3b0dab1663d6

# Deb packages
package file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_rc3_armel.deb 7a81c6815ba8748e5bd42e03ddd699cb

# End.

and then use the following command:

nitdroid file:///home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid.manifest

and type YES.

Greetings.

Re: [How To] Nitdroid-Installer: install GingerBread N12 UMay
 
Same problem.
It bails after formatting.
Downloading nitdroid.manifest....Failure. Bailing out.
I have tried on 3 different networks,same problem.
transfered all files using WinSCP.
I also tried the manual method from the Wiki.
Wont go any further after running command: bzip2 -d N12_UMay.tar.bz2
I also tried the revised .manifest by german.cadenas
Still no joy.
Any ideas?

Edit: I managed to get it working. When the bzip2 command hangs i just waited a little longer and it unpacked.

HELP NEEDED!

I installed the nitdroid to a new partition on emmc without problem.
But after it boot into nitdroid, I cannot find sd card or mydocs folder for some reason. Because of this, many applications like camera and music player won't work properly. they shows " the phone does not have a sd card inserted" message everytime.

Could someone let me know how to solve this issue? thanks.:cool:
