Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
i have some questions about running android on n900.
* so the phone will run in dual boot? (maemo and android) if so, will you be able to choose at boot? * can this be uninstalled? * if there was a problem in installing android will it brick the phone? is it possible to restore it again? |

sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
To the ones blocked at umount-mmcblk1p1 errors:
I was able to boot NITDroid today, doing this (I don't know if it's very adequate, but worked for me) -umount mmcblk1 if you don't have mmcblk1p1. If you can't, read third line here. -AFTER sfdisk, REBOOT. -WAIT until tracker and tracker-indexer stop working (conky will help, these two process are the ones consuming 99% CPU for about 6 minutes after reboot, preventing you for umounting mmc! -Then you will be able to mkdos and mke without errors |

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
hi guys,
i m having trouble with bzip2. when i try to apt-get install bzip2, i get the messege that package bzip2 has no installation candidate. and is only available from other source. due to this i can not execute the step three which involves bzcat command. need some help here |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
Weeeeeell...
First, THANXS GUYS! BOOTING NITDROID ROCKS! Yes, a little bit slow (perhaps allowing us to overclock could help until GPU drivers ;) ) BUT... After powering off nitdroid, trying to reboot, choosing again option 4... boot loader always stop after trying to access ext3, going again to boot menu! Why first time it works but now, unable to boot nitdroid again?? I'm a lot of bits confused! ANYWAY, THAT FEW MOMENTS WITH ANDROID ON MY SCREEN WERE WONDERFULL!! (Are you genious or somethig like that???) Waiting for a lammer version , since I can't handle WHY only one Android boot for me. |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
im downloading the new rootsh but its failed a few times. downloading now again but do i need to clean or remove the failed downloads ? if so where are they and how to do ? many thanks ...
|
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
moepda, if you have a failed attempt the send time you try to download wget will rename the file with a .1 on the end. and so on each time you try.
make sure there are no (bad) copies under MyDocs before running the wget command. |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
cheers for that jamiefuller all sorted thanks for your help :) onto mac address stage now :)
update.... can now boot android so many thanks there but now notice that when using winscp in maemo5 my home/user/MyDocs folder has changed , i can not see default folders such as downloads etc, all folders previously visible on phone filemanager are not available on winscp. except DCIM... really not sure why or how ? is this normal ? |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
Fixed your post @sepehrsfmech your code wasn't closed properly.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
Uninstalled ssh menu applet (one more cause of partitions error), reinstalled all nitdroid again, booting Nitdroid...
AND WHEN ANDROID ENDS LOADING, AUTOMATICALLY POWER-OFF ITSELF (battery icon showing a red bat, Android now didn't recognize my bat????) |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
roleplay how did u get the ssh working been trying that but i dont get it to work ? so i can past the comands to the n900 has done it on the n900 maybe i am doing somthink wrong when putting in the comands on the n900 thanksi
|
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
?
You don't need ssh with new tuto (ssh and a lot of other s*it don't allow you to follow the tuto correctly) Anyway, now I can't, eeehhmmm, stop unbooting? froyo, after reaching android main screen, closes itself down (with "standar" power-off method)... I leave, too much for me when only trying to boot and keep on it again. |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
ok thanks well i hope u get it sorted i am going to have a try letter sometimes i think do a new install off maemo start againe lol

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
I just installed NITDroid on my N900 and formatted with gparted (on my Archlinux netbook) instead of on the N900's command line.
If you have any problems I recommend this approach instead: I have a 8Gb SDHC card and I created first the FAT32 partition with 1,9 Gb free space before it, then the ext3 partition on the remaining space. Just a tip! |

*Yes, the phone runs in dual boot. If you have your keyboard out when booting it will give you a menu to choose from, if the keyboard is closed it defaults to Maemo. *Yes, it can be uninstalled. The easiest way that Ive heard to do this would be to uninstall the bootmenu program and then simply reformat your microSD card. *When messing with low level settings like boot options or a new OS there is always a risk of bricking your phone. Most of the tutorials even have that warning highlighted in bold or red to make sure we all knew the risk before proceeding. Hope that helps... |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
I just wanted to add this bit. I was able to install android on my N900 without using a external computer I had this thread opened and just copied and pasted commands to the terminal and I was so surprised how everything worked flawlessly aside from the partitioning of the 16GB micro sd card which I had to format in Windows XP but nevertheless awesome instructions.
One major problem I am having is getting Wi-Fi to work but it could just be my encryption WPA TKIP and I did have MAC address Filtering turned it off and said it was able to connect but still unable to browse still happy that I was able to get Froyo installed on my N900! |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
i cannot connect to wifi with the latest build of nitdroid and multiboot. I choose option 4 in multiboot so i'm in the correct load.
when i choose my wifi i enter my wep-key but it wont connect. it keeps trying to get a lock at the ip adress but i failes and it tries again. it keeps trying everytime in a loop. can someone help me? |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
rollyplay u got nitdroid running yet ?
|
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
anyone help me out please?
just tried partitioning the sd card, think i cocked it up as now maemo says card format not supported. when partitoning it said something about rebooting, so i did and now not recognised. any way to wipe all partitions and start again? cheers ® |

Sounds like it's missing the small fat32 partition since it wont regonise it? Otherwise try kingoddballs guide to do it on the N900 with sfdisk. It's in this thread on page 15, can't remember the post #. I did it with kingoddballs guide the first time i installed NITdroid cause i couldn't get gparted to work in vm linux mint :) One thing don't mount the sd card after you partitioned it, wait with that for when you install NITdroid with the newest guide from steve ;) First you could try to open xterm: sudo gainroot <enter> sfdisk -l <enter> (-L) There you can see the partitions on your device. The sdcard is mmcblk1p1, mmcblk1p2 and so on it and should be the first shown in xterm. The internal storage is mmcblk0p1 and so on. |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
thanks for the quick reply. i was doing it on the device by the way.
heres output for mmc Code:
Disk /dev/mmcblk1: 243200 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
oh, and its a 8gb card tho from that it dont look like it now.

Try umount mmcblk1 and see what happens? |

umount: cannot umount mmcblk1: No such file or directory odd? |

Have you tried to turn off phone and take out sdcard, put it back in and reboot? If that did nothing i would try a repartitioning with the guide steve gives in the same post as the new install method. The dev thread page 244, just scroll to the end of post. And then straight after install NITdroid using steves guide ;) |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
How can I boot my mmc1blk1 partition. I have a Debian rootfs in there, I tried looking /etc/bootmenu.d but it seems these files are now deprecated. Bootmenu doesn't show anything else than Maemo and Nitdroid.
|
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
its umount /dev/mmcblk1
if it didnt work try umount /dev/mmcblk1p1 |
Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
is there a way to dual boot without the boot post message appear on the screen? A gui would be nice.
