N900 rescue OS - testing release - Page 4 - maemo.org

Well I tried the command that you told, still no luck.

Output:

Code:

flasher-3.5 -k 2.6.37 -n rescueOS-initrd-0.5.3.img -l -b"rootdelay root=/dev/ram0 autostart=/rescueOS/mass-storage-enable.sh"
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus 001, device address 012.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2204
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.004_PR_004

Using kernel command line: "rootdelay root=/dev/ram0 autostart=/rescueOS/mass-storage-enable.sh"

Just confirm one thing, after flashing, do I have to unplug the USB cable or press power key to start rescueOS.

Also I have microsd card in my N900, so can log be generated of the above command or whatever happens after rescueos boots, in the microsd card so that the issue can be traced...

One more thing, Please confirm that enable-mass-storage.sh script mounts the emmc and sdcard on the N900 itself or on my Linux desktop, coz if the partitions gets mounted on the device itself how do i copy the contents from phone to PC.

*PS I am using ubuntu 12.04 desktop version

Tried this?

Because you read the documentation, you actually should know that such a thing as "flashing rescueOS" simply does not exist. It only gets loaded by using the flasher, and therefore you don't need to press any power button.

Run the given command, and don't unplug the USB cable (because you want to have a working mass-storage mode...)

mass-storage mode does not mount anything. If it would mount the EMMC on the N900, then it simply wouldn't be a mass-storage mode. It also doesn't mount it on your Linux PC. The only it does is exposing the MyDocs and maemo home parittion so the PC the N900 is connected to can access it. It is up to you(or the desktop environment / filemanager you are using...) to actually mount the partitions. It kinda seems you don't really know what mass-storage mode does in the first place...

Unfortunately, this would require a modification of rescueOS.

Yes I tried TV out connection, getting blank screen with blue horizontal strip on the top.

I really don't know about mass-storage mode, only thing I knew was that the MyDocs partition gets unmounted and it automatically gets mounted as removable media on desktop pc.

So if rescue os simply exposes the partition for the PC to access it, how do I manually access it from PC coz its not happening automatically.

'sudo fdisk -l' on my PC does not show any partition other than my internal hard disk's and only "sda and sdb" is shown in /dev no "sdc or mmcbklp**"

instead of all the mounting stuff you don't seem to understand well, why don't you simply copy the stuff onto the microSD card?
it's one of the basic feature of rescue OS

Even that would do but question is how do i copy it??

* My N900 has dead screen and no TV out

Update: Found that usb-networking-enable.sh script works as I was able to ping the device at 192.168.2.15 with the PC ip being 192.168.2.14.

flasher-3.5 -k zImage -n rescueOS-initrd-0.5.3.img -l -b"rootdelay root=/dev/ram0 autostart=/rescueOS/usbnetworking-enable.sh"

Wait a few seconds
Press enter
type: telnetd
Press enter

You should now be able to telnet into rescueOS. The IP should be 192.168.2.15.

Thank you very much !!! It worked...

After telnet into the device ran the mass-storage-enable script and was able to access the data on PC.
