The problem is like i have created partitions, but with wrong block size.

I have the 8GB appln install space eMMC. With that, my partition table appeared to be
Device Boot Start End
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2 688258
/dev/mmcblk0p2 688258 950401
/dev/mmcblk0p3 950402 974977

Instead of usual

Device Boot Start End
/dev/mmcblk0p1 2 884865
/dev/mmcblk0p2 884866 950401
/dev/mmcblk0p3 950402 974977.


So I carried out a partitioning like

n
p
1
First cylinder: 2
Last cylinder: 600000

n
e
First cylinder: 600001
Last cylinder: 688258
n
First cylinder: 600001
Last cylinder: 688258
t

Is there a problem due to this? And i now cannot copy any files into the eMMc or even move within. Shows memory read only or input/output error- when done from xterm.

And also when tried to untar the NITDroid archive, the same result.

Any suggestions friends?
And following code gives the following results:
Code:
root
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck -a /dev/mmcblk0p1

fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)
dosfsck 2.11, 12 Mar 2005, FAT32, LFN
Seek to 22552772096:Invalid argument
mounting it back again fails too.
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs/
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /home/user/MyDocs failed!
Device or resource busy
Anyone has an idea what the problem is?

Have you formatted your new partitions?

uhm... so... I managed to install the whole thing following the steps... but... uhm, for some reason the option to boot into nitdroid is not on the initial screen of my phone...

now... one thing that I'd like to state is, I used to have nitdroid, but my phone fell on a crash loop and I had to flash it, when I did that the whole nitdroid thing pretty much dissapeared without me uninstalling it... on my first try to get it back, I used the .deb on the first post, and after reading through the thread I managed to follow the steps but it's still missing from the initial screen... help?

There is no indication that those apps might not work
Do you have a /home/user/MyDocs folder? Did you try to reinstall the aaplication that are not working fine?

If NITDroid is installed, download a kernel from Here. If you intend to use ICS then you need RC7, otherwise you can use RC4.

Once you have that downloaded to MyDocs, mount your NITDroid partition to /and and then:

dpk -i kernel_name

and it will create the multiboot entry required.

2.3.4 is most stable. I'd recommend mounting your NITDroid partition to /and and untaring 2.3.4 over the top.

hi Mornage,

any update on your quest to make a u-boot compatible nitdroid kernel/boot/root environment ? including the closed but redistributable bits from Maemo/Meego ?

Thanks

2.3.7 is best when dalvik heapmemory is set to 32m according to NITDroid-Installer, and optimizated with Android Booster and Dolphin HD Battery Saver.
