Re: Clone OS to SD Deb!! Boot from SD made EASY!!
 

Hi, penguinbait.
Thanks for the debs. I understand the OS2008 Feature upgrade requires a modified initfs flasher for the boot menu. (Post 20, bottom of first page) Do I understand this correctly and can you notify us when you have updated the debs?

I tried fanoush's instructions, but upon #tar zxvf initfs_flasher.tgz, I got Tar: invalid gzip magic.

[Edit:] It seems the penguinbait debs have either been updated or worked fine all along. Another report of them working was enough for me to download and try again.

Try gunzip initfs_flasher.tgz then tar -xvf initfs_flasher.tar

Help Please
 

When I go penguinbait.com and click install-tools-N810e.deb the file doesn't run or install -- it opens and I can read some of the text. Am I doing something stupid?
Thankds

Let the pointer stays on the choice for a few second a menu will come up and choose save file. Or right click, something like that.

I meant to say that I browsed to the file with my N810 rather than my desktop. Is that wrong?

Also, I took your advice, right clicked and saved the file to external memory. I then tried to install from file using Application Manager and got the error "Unable to install..."

Re: Help Please
 

1) Have to dl and install from internal flash, dl to ext card will NOT work.
2) Only for N800 with ONE card in or N810 with NO card
3) check swap file, have to be OFF.

some step to step instructions here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22155

Hope this helps,

Re: Help Please
 

Are you sure your #2 is correct? The link on Penguinbait's site is entitled "Install Tools External 810 Slot."

Re: Help Please
 

YUP. It is FOR ext slot does NOT mean you can do it from there.
dl or transfer to int flash and try. Remove ext card and uncheck swap file.

Bun
I did everything you suggested. Same error message. "Unable to install..."

Re: Help Please
 

1st being 1st, check the dl file. If not possible, re dl again.

and post your system info. I think you are doing N810 and tried to install MMC boot into internal SD, right?

I do not know which one you are using, here are the byte size on a winPC

install-tools.deb 3,743
install-tools.ad.tar 5,774
install-tools-N810e.deb 3,744

And sure, you have only ONE EXTERNAL.txt or INTERNAL.txt on your system, right? I think this is not important, though

Edit: according to PB's instruction, ONLY ONE .txt is important. so throw away the other one you are NOT using.
