You need those only if you want to use Backupmenu without ubiboot.
Ubiboot uses a bit different approach.

However, if you really need those:

The file "/sbin/preinit_harmattan" is same as the original "/sbin/preinit", so you can get it from the preinits.tar file.
As for evtap, you can find it in many places, for example if you want to compile it yourself, the source is on my svn server: https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/sillykbd/TRUNK/evtap.c
Compiled binary you can get from ubiboot rootfs for example: https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/animat.../usr/bin/evtap
(that's tha latest, version 0.9.0, I am not sure which one you need as the command parameters have changed in different versions...)

Hi
I had installed BackUp Menu before I installed Ubiboot.
I want to add BackUp Menu to Ubiboot (use Ubiboot to launch to BacUp Menu)
I thought to use NitDroid menu so I tried combinations of these changes to Ubiboot rev. 0.3.3:

a)
1) G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit"
2) G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/init"

b)
1)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage.pr13"
2)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/backupmenu/boot/zImage.pr13"
3)
G_NITDROID_1_LABEL="Eyes zImage.pr13 G_NITDROID_1_FILE="/boot/multiboot/boot/zImage.pr13"

c)
above changes with zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix

but phone didn't boot!

and the warning: use maintenance kernel and ...

I attached Screen Shots of BackUpMenu containings.
I would be glad to recieve your guidances to run BackUp Menu with Using Ubiboot.

with regards

First thing is, I suggest you update to ubiboot 0.3.5 as it contains lots of bugfixes.

As for running backupmenu, of course the "correct" way to do that is to embed the backup menu under ubiboot, so that it works in the ubiboot maintanance mode domain. That is still WIP, and I might look at it one of these days when I've got some spare time to do it...

What you can do, however is to do what I guess you were after now: Launching bacupmenu in Harmattan preinit context. This would mean chainloading like ubiboot->backupmenu->Harmattan, so that first you boot with ubiboot, and when you select Harmattan you would get into the backupmenu selection before it boots up.
That should indeed be easy, even as I have not checked this myself. Just make sure that the "/sbin/preinit" installed by backupmenu is there, and then set the ubiboot.conf key like you have in a.) - 1.), G_NITDROID_INITSCRIPT="\/sbin\/preinit"

That should work, yes.

Now, as for why your device doesn't boot, when you install ubiboot 0.3.5 it is much easier to debug. You can see what's the problem by looking at the file MyDocs/boot/ubiboot.log.

Did you install ubiboot 0.3.5 ?
If so, please post the log from MyDocs/boot/ubiboot.log
If not, please post the log from /var/log/ubiboot.log

Hi Dear Juiceme and thanks a lot

Not yet, but I will install it tonight.
I attached it.
I don't know any thing about programming of BackUp Menu and Ubiboot, but I think Ubiboot base is runinnig OS in main menu with the selected submenu kernel is it right? So I think we need to an icon in main menu with no sub menu (for kernel selection) that only runs preinit. Or the "i" icon in sub menu (after we select it in main menu) can be used for running preinit.
What is your opininon? Is it easy to change ubiboot-02.menus.cpio to do above idea or its a time taking process?

Unfortunately the more important log file (ubiboot.log) is empty in your zipfile

As for the menu, I think the way to launch the backupmenu is from it's own icon, the tools menu in 0.3.5

Hi,
i wasnt using android for a long time and recently wanted to boot into it ( im using backup menu boot selector ) and all what happens after choosing android is power off.
I did an android restore from a previously made backup but the problem stays. I gues it happened after i updated to the last version of backup menu 1.1_9 . Is there an older version ie 1.1_8 somewhere to download??
Or maybe you guys know how to fix that issue??

Cheers
