Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

hey, I never said i got it working :D

just 1 step closer..

now getting error

cheers

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

That could be a few things.
GParted - Check that the partition is correctly made.
It can work fine, but still be incorrect (yellow triangle & !).
mke2fs /dev/sbd2 (code could be wrong, check page 1) after you partition with gparted.
Make sure your android.item.ext is correct.
Make sure all files copied over correctly.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

okay when i extracted files from tar, i wasnt admin/root, but it seemed to work.. so Im guessing thats the prob.

also, in my 'android.etc.item' file i had item_id as 3, but you have 2 on page 1.......?


edit: also, you say the file is "android.ext.item"?? which is it? (android.etc.item)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Wait for ~30 seconds in the bootmenu so that it really finds your MicroSD card, also you must have the battery cover on and the little support closed(that thing beneath the camera cover), otherwise the card wont be "inserted" in the N900.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I have a strange problem.
After bootins have errors
not found it: ../bootmenu.d/android.ext.item: line 2
not found it: ../bootmenu.d/android.ext.item: line 3
not found it: ../bootmenu.d/android.ext.item: line 5

any sugestions?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

sounds like yout android.ext.item is wrong

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

i have this in android.ext.item:

ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 2)"
ITEM_ID="android2"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p2"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3 fat vfat"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime"

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

someone needs to write up clear noob-friendly step-by-step instructions

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

looks fine.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

This is really cool. Thank you very much for the good tutorial :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

if you extracted without being root thats why you have to be root to extract files

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I can't access www.nitdroid.com. I got an error:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

trying to install froyo using win xp

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

that'll b why, the tarbz2 wont extract properly through windows

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

yes but im following "http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-install"

so im using virtualbox -> linux mint

etc

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

that should work then, any errors thrown during extract

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

no errors, folder goes red as it says being root should

didnt 'saefly remove/unmount' sd card before unplugging before, think that was it. there werre no files on there, so i did it again, unmounted and double checked - theyre there now..

now just gonna see if thats it

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

hmm, only option i can think of is try something like vmware instead (i never did like crapualbox - after all its java based)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I am having a problem each time I try to connect to a WiFi it says 'Obtaining IP address' and the says remembered ,, but still can't access the Internet

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

It's a common problem. What build are you using?
I just reboot and it can fix it.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

I'm using Froyo ,, the first build ,,

For me restart doesn't fix it :confused:

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Sometimes two reboots are required. Also I'd try to connect to a different router if available, might be some configuration issue...

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

@kingoddball i used your small guide for the sfdisk partitioning on N900. it seems to work, i can see them and mount them, but how can i download and untar the nitdroid.tar.bz file. I tried to do it from /home/user/MyDocs with xarchiver but i can't acces the mmcblk1p2 even though it's mounted, must be cause it's ext3. Do you know the code to do it from xterm?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

bouhouhouu.... why can't anybody help me ??? ='(
for those asking : same problem as before : eMMC doesn't mount itself.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

it worked once, but said my sd needed formatting.

did it, now it wont boot anymore..

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Sorry for off-top but I have to say guys, this tutorial transformed me to Linux user. I'm already looking for wide enough window to throw my windows through :D

But going back to the subject. I'm heading local store to buy some mSD card. Any recommendations? I've seen that some of you have integrity issues here. Is like quality matter? Or something else I need to look at?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Uh oh. Is it because Android said you needed to reformat? Tell exactly what you reformatted and how.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Have you tried using a manual configuration for your IP?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Fixed it ,, by installing the latest Froyo "second build"

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

im going to try and make a basic autoinstaller script for nitdroid :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Help/Tutorial Topic
 

Hi,
I have few questions and I'm sorry if this is wrong section to put them up, this seemed to be the one to me.


Q; If i install NITDroid, is there a chance to brick my device?

Q; Is the "brick" revertable? If yes, how?

Q; If newer version of NITDroid get released, I have to format my SD to get rid of the old one and re-apply the procedure to install it?


Thanks and sorry if this is wrong section once more. :)
