Hey guy's just a question! If i want to reinstall ubiboot and sailfish again and enter in open mode with back-to-back procedure (last time i did not) can i go straight with flashing firmware + emmc or do i have to remove the Alt_OS partition before with the autopartition.sh script as in the nemo wiki? Thanks

As mentioned a few times in the thread (but easy to miss

), just give the

Code:

--no-preserve

parameter with flashing command. This will restore original partition layout.

It's a 110 pages thread, have mercy

So it's ok if the command looks like:

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --no-preserve

One more thing, with back-to-back flashing there's no way to remove the scary warranty message right?

Yep.

And there is (or should be as never tested by me

nor confirmed).
Flash closed, boot, enable developer mode, remove warning message, flash closed rootfs, (do NOT boot), flash open mode kernel, boot.

I thought that flashing the firmware also restores the scary warranty message!! It would be nice if this works

It does if you don't boot after ex.
sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -f

but immediately run ex.
sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

So, as I understand it, Firefox OS is basically set up as a second copy of Nitdroid. What would I need to do to get a third copy of Nitdroid booting? I've made a copy of my Nitdroid folder, and added entries in the "Ubuntu" section of ubiboot, but it just gives me a black screen.

@taixzo you need to edit preinit to load os from folder you have, call it preinit_nitdroid2 and add it to ubuntu entry in ubiboot config

@taixzo
Do you really need 2 nitdroid entries selectable in menu? Then proceed as coderus said.

I also have two nitdroid instances, but have to do a command line one-liner on harmattan before booting up (as I normally know which instance I want).
I have two nitdroid folders named nit_ics and nit_jelly. Furthermore one link named nitdroid (the one mentioned in preinit_nitdroid) pointing to one of those two folders.
Easy peasy.

I have the sailfish version (made only for dualbooting with sfos), and I want to uninstall it and change it so I can boot into Nitdroid or Firefox OS.

Help needed
