Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Nope, I didn't have any such brackets .. After completing step 3, the output shows the old and new partition tables, i checked them and they look fine .. Now the first partition is just 1 MB long, which is of FAT32 FS, and then the second partition takes the rest of the space ..

EDIT: Here is the complete output from my N900 from the beginning (the first unmount command probably didn't work because I had already unmounted the microSD card in the previous xterm session):

Code:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)

Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.



~ $ sudo gainroot

OK

For this listing I'll assume that geometry.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Firstly a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this so far!

I've followed the excellent instructions on the wiki and had NITDroid running in no time at all. Not sure however what I've done wrong but although I can boot into Android with no issues and save various settings settings (ie wifi password, market details etc.) I can't launch any applications (theY crash straight after launching) or download anything from the market - it just gets stuck on prepping to download.

Could this be a partitioning issue? I'm using a 2gb card at the mo with 1mb set to fat the rest to ext3...

if you read the above you see the error :

Code:

BLKRRPART: Device or resource busy

The command to re-read the partition table failed

Reboot your system now, before using mkfs

try rebooting and then doing

Code:

ls /dev/mmcblk1*

it should show both p1 and p2

Okay, so after rebooting, do I repeat the entire partition procedure from step 1, or do I just continue from where I experienced the problem (from second command in step 5 and onwards) .. ?

hi all

I encountered an issue when I was booting Nitdroid:

Buffer I/O error at mmcblk0p2
Lost page write I/O error at mmcblk0p2

Nitdroid did not manage to boot and reset itself to multi boot menu. Anyone know what's the issue?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

I had problems with an 16GB SanDisk (Original). I just could not get Android to boot AT ALL.
But my 8GB SanDisk is triple booting.
See if you can test on an old (or any other) SD card. You can use 512MB... I think 256MB is a tad too small.

I used an old 1GB sd card as my 4GB brand new SanDisk wouldn't play ball. Anyone know how I get wireless up and running?

Hey
I tried that with astro manager but it said "no sd card avaliable"
The same answer when i tried running spotify(it got installed though)
Have i missed something during the setup?

Nitdroid is working great except that and the phone running a bit hot :D
Looking forward to the next build

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Hi,

Unlikely.

I have formatted the SD card twice and the FAT partition is detectable in Maemo.

mmcblk0 seems to be eMMC instead of SD card. Can dj_steve confirm?

mmcblk0 is indeed the emmc in maemo, in android its the microsd

As far as i know the mmcblk0p1/p2 is the sdcard when it's mounted in multiboot (when booting NITdroid) and the mmcblk1p1/p2 is the eMMC (when booting NITdroid). Android sees the sdcard as internal storage and the eMMC as external.

In maemo it's correct mmcblk0 is the eMMC and mmcblk1 is the sdcard.

e: Haha beat me to it steve ;)

So I guess,

I have to reformat the SD card again?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Any ideas anyone

Ive completly reformatted the sd card and gone through all the steps again and I still get lots of errors with processess shutting down constantly making android completly unusable

I never had any of these errors with the previous build

and nothing is different at all

The errors I get are as follows, follwed by a force close option

You know what I posted that whilst I rebooted and everything at the moment appears to be working quite well

setup the wireless, gone onto google market and been browsing a few apps and downloading them (which is why ive not been back here to post been a bit busy LOL)

I think I have a couple of other sd cards knocking about (as long as the kids dont mind not using their DS's :D)

Alright, thanks! Well I rebooted and did what you said (both p1 and p2 showed, so I went ahead and ran the two commands in step 5 for formatting). Here's the output so far:

My question is that I didn't necessarily un-mount the microSD card bore running the said steps (you can see there's no un-mounting happening in the above log) ... is this ok ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

OK in addition to the above, I have another question ..

I followed this guide right till the end .. And right at the end, I have an error with the last unmounting command; the unmounting doesn't happen:

Code:

/ # umount /and

umount: cannot umount /and: Device or resource busy

/ #

Also, what do I do now .. ? Like, is NITDroid installed at this point !? :confused: .. Don't we have to configure the bootloader or something ?

Slide the keyboard out then power on the phone, you should get a lot of scrolling text then the boot menu

once the boot menu is on, press number 4 (R) on the keyboard to boot into Android
