I have a Nokia N900 with a broken USB connector (2 weeks ago). Now NITDroid (with Android 2.2) boots but the red light blinks, the battery indicator shows it is empty even if it is 100% full, and it turns off in less than 10 seconds.

So : if the USB connector is broken, is it impossible to use NITDroid on Nokia N900 ???

Got me the latest NITDroid-Installer_0.2.8-8.deb and installed it, let it run its auto installs. One big package couldn't be d/l it seems.
Additionally got N12_UMay.tar.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2 and nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-07_7-rc7_armel.deb both in /MyDocs.
It seems no .android folder was created though and reboot gives me the boot manager but can't boot android.
Guess I had to install the N12 obviously, where do I have to unpack it to or what do I have to do after executing the install.deb while nitdroid is not accessible?

Thanks for the help!

The packages must go into /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid
This is where the installer looks for anything to install.

Thanks for your reply! I've created .nitroid in the folder aboves but can't access it (see it) on windows explorer to copy over the files.
Tried to create it again via x-terminal but get a "mkdir: cannot create directory'/home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid' File exists".
How do I move the files I have in /MyDocs over to the .nitdroid folder?

...tried it via "mv N12_UMay.tat.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2 MyDocs/.nitdroid"
but get a "mv: cannot rename 'N12_UMay.tar.bz2.tar.bz2.tar.bz2': No such file or directory" ??
with "cp" command I get "cp: cannont create 'MyDocs/.nitroid': Path does not exist"

Warning kind of a rant ahead!

There are so many errors and mistakes you are making, i do not know where to begin...

First: The folder to use is /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid . Always use the full path, unless you are really comfortable with the whole linux file system structure.

Second: Do not work on two systems, like PC and N900, or two tools, like Filebox and X-Terminal applications, to achieve the same goal, unless you are really comfortable with the whole procedure, meaning: Can do the same with manually typed commands.

Third: The file you use must be named N12_UMay.tar.bz2 . If you use some other name, path or command, there will be error messages, that have a meaning. Read them.

If unsure to correct things from here, please delete anything related to nitdroid and start over freshly
