Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Did it work for you flotron?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Not for "SIMLOCK:ON" error

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Which is your operator, flotron?

I just want to know what to expect if I decide to try Sailfish.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

So now i'm able to get mount sailfish but stuck on "sync ; sync ; sync ; umount /media/*"

Gets error "no such file or directory"

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Are you doing this on Harmattan or a Linux PC?
If it is a PC, this is distro-dependant and the instructions I wrote were for Debian.

If this is on Harmattan, try umount /sailfish/*

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Simlock ON: cannot flash unsigned image !! :(
(flashed in Mac)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

No known way around this at the moment, flotron is in the same boat ;/

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

doing this on harmattan. Tried that and got argument invalid

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

There is something really wrong with the power management in Sailfish. Not only I'm not seeing a correct reading in the battery status, but I left my phone plugged all day in the computer and it discharged until tuning off. Albeit the OS was saying it was charging.

Has any one got the power management to work correctly, or is getting the same kind of problems?
Thanks!

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hi, guys. I have finished flashing sailfish and installing multiboot. THe sailfish is workable, but now I cannot boot into the harmattan. Here is ubiboot.log. Anyone could help me? Thank you so much.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I recently found that my n9 wasn't unlocked correctly.
I'm going to contact some service if they can unlock it well this time

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hmmm just saw that kickstart now drags in maps app.

Not tested image yet, but isGPS working on N9 now? If so does this also means GPS works in nemo?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Look at this: https://www.facebook.com/notes/nokia...87082331405479

Some simlocked's users report success with this method.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hmm, to be honest, if you have extracted the sailfish image onto /dev/mmcblk0p4 i.e. the mounted /sailfish partition, you can just exit terminal and turn off harmattan and reboot into sailfish assuming you have ubiboot/moslo installed.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

please keep ubiboot related question in ubiboot thread to not repeating same/similar questions here!

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

The new battery status stuff in Sailfish doesn't work properly (yet) with the Contextkit BME plugin for the N9/50.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I installed moslo but skipped ubiboot as i'm running windows. Do I need to install ubiboot?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

No. As long as you have extracted sailfish, just reboot the handset and boot into sailfish

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hello.

Good news! I have finally done it. Sailfish is finally installed in my phone.
But I think there seems to be some slight problems or bugs (i think..).

Firstly, whenever I tried to make a call to somebody, my screen goes blank but I still can hear the dialing tone.
While the screen is blank, I can't end my call until the receiver ends it.
It is a real pain when the call goes to the voice-mail because there is no way I can end the call. :(
The only way to end the call is by powering off the phone by holding the power button.

This problem also occurred when I receive calls. While my phone is ringing, I can't answer it due to the blank screen.
Tried pressing the button once hoping for the screen to light up or something but it failed.

Lastly, the same problem also occurs when my alarm goes off. I can hear the alarm but I can't disable it.
I must wait for the alarm to end by itself then I can disable it in the alarm menu.

Only when the call ended and the alarm stopped, I can press the power button to light up the screen.
And then, I can do whatever I want on it.

I almost forgot, there is also a slight problem where in Sailfish, to end apps, we must swipe from the top to bottom.
But mine is different. I must swipe from right to the left to end apps. Weird huh? :confused:

Idk, if the way I installed Sailfish is correct or wrong that is making this bugs to appear.
But one thing for sure, I have followed all the instructions given step by step. Hope you can help me with this. :)

Regards.

@qu3 What image are you using. Souren's newer images fix this issue. Alternatively, if you apply the proximity sensor patch after boot (check the Wiki page), the bug should disappear.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I didn't. I was doing the whole process halfway with Windows until I am stuck at Ubiboot. Thanks to the guys who help me earlier, I use the vmware to open up Linux and continue the installation of Ubiboot and Sailfish.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I think it is Sailfish 1.0.0.5. Updating to this newer image will resolve this issue right?

And about there is something odd about the ubiboot. I can boot into Sailfish but now I just can't boot into Harmattan.
Already tried to let it boot into Harmattan by not pressing anything but screen goes blank right after that.

I wonder what is wrong. But I did copy the "zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix" which was flashed earlier into "/media/rootfs/boot".

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

If you do:
cd /media/rootfs/boot
md5sum ./*

You should have:
b64bc24b96faf6763f5e403eb5c7f528 ./zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix

If the file is there with that md5 sum, harmattan should boot fine.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

preinits files missing
preinits missing executable flags
ubiboot menu not configured for kernel
ubiboot menu broken

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

what should I do if the md5 sum is incorrect? and, for the newer image, I notice there is two version, r1 and r2. What is the difference between them?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Bah, I can't get the store working on the Max image. It shows the store, and the store repo updates, but I can't download anything from the GUI and the zypper search shows only a handful of "harbour" packages, mostly all installed.

I'm going to try copying the SourenAraya/vgrade r2 image over top of the Max image and see if I can get the best of both worlds :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Sigh. No. It isn't the best of both worlds. It fixes nothing.
Ok, I'll give the plain R2 image a try.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Check that your preinits are correct.
And check the ubiboot support thread for these problems...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

How do I check my preinits?

I have checked the ubiboot support thread.
There is a section where "back-to-back flashing" is written.
For my device, I did not do the back-to-back flashing.
Could this be the cause of Harmattan failed to boot up on my device?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

ls -la /sbin/preinit*


That is not cause of this, there are other things later that you may encounter in Harmattan due to it but it does not affect booting.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I am really confused now. What's all the buzz about not being able to install ubiboot with windows system? Is there a new method of installing ubiboot or a new version that strictly requires a linux system? I didn't require any system to install mine. Install sailfish too can be done without a system except the partitioning part, which can be done with any partitioning tool on both windows and linux. So what's really restraining windows?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Nothing, I did it.
Just dumb people too excited to read properly wiki and tutorial.
Sorry guys :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hi there,
I did install Sailfish on my N9, and went back to a full Harmattan N9.

I read this thread from time to time and I see a lot of confusion. My advice is it would be really nice for everybody to have a specific ubiboot image to flash for people who only want Sailfish. No NitDroid, no Ubuntu, no B2G, only Harmattan and Sailfish.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Well, that's mainly coz you need to install FS drivers to your windows box if you want to mount the ALT_OS partition, and if you want to ssh/telnet to ubiboot console you need NDIS drivers.
These seem to be unbeliveably difficult to install by some windows users, so it is easier to go and tell people to just use Linux :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

That's actually a pretty good idea.
It would actually just require a recompile of the CPIO to have such a sailfish-only menu, and binding that with an ubiboot.conf that has nice presets for Sailfish. :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

i don't kow if it has been said yet, mysatroker.ko is myriads implementation of /dev/binder, with an extra "master" component which is not available in androids binder, i've tried to backport the module to the old n950 kernel but the kernel misses a few functions, it might be possible to patch the module so it works, or we could try to implement that master thingy into androids binder or into a replacement module like https://github.com/rong1129/android-binder-ipc (i've used that succesfully when i tried to run a android chroot like thingy on my phone to launch android services, that project died though due to surfaceflinger, egl and gles problems)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

mysatroker is short for MYriad Share Anything TROugh KERnel

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

To be completely be on the legal/safe side we would need to rewrite the bootclasspath, and the other services which alien implements, we can reuse actual open source binaries from android by using the method i described in the apkenv development post

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I have read the uniboot thread thoroughly. I would like to say thank you for mentioning about the preinit.
I have solved the problem and my device now can boot either harmattan or sailfish.
Everything is working smoothly so far...

A million thanks! :D
