Afaik yes.
Iirc this kernel (stripped out some modules) was built by juiceme for some HW variants which had problems when flashing such a big kernel.
You may use the 'search in thread' or wait for juiceme's confirmation.

That's what @coderus means; there's something hazy with your SIM/subscription perhaps.
Please try with another SIMcard.

Hello everyone,

Do I need to go through this huge threat to make my N9 multiboot (and start loading many different OS flavours) according to the latest and greatest available multiboot utility or is there a place when I can have latest instruction and download links?

Thanks in advance.

peterleinchen | # 1277 | 2014-09-22, 11:15 | Report

No.
Yes. There you find everything (with detailed instructions given by juiceme).

Another spoon feeded.

hello, nice work, i've used it for some time and i'm quite happy with it (maybe i'll be able to boot a linux distro in fb with fbvkbd with it, just for fun lol)
that said, i'm having issues removing entries from ubiboot
i don't understand exactly which files should i edit, for now i've figured out

animated_menu_top.map
ubiboot.conf (setting the new $G_UBIBOOT_ARCHIVE)

what else i'm missing?

If you mean by "removing entries", that you want to have only the icons for some options in screen, like for example only Harmattan and Nitdroid, and remove everything else, then it is easy.

1.) download the source toolkit; "svn co https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/animatronics" or in case you cannot resolve IP address of toosa (as seems to happen sometimes) then do "svn co https://88.115.66.252/svn/animatronics" instead.
2.) edit the file "create_animations.sh" so that you replace the icon file definitions on rows 33...40 of the icons you do not need by "empty_200x200.png" (it is as name says, an empty icon, not showing on screen)
3.) edit the file "menuscripts/animated_menu_top.map" so that you comment out the wanted touch map (lines 19...26) by putting a #-mark in the beginning of the lines.
4.) compile the new archive by running the script "./create_animations.sh"
5.) pack the archive to cpio by command "./pack_cpio.sh --create animatronics.tar"

That's all you need to do really, no need to modify ubiboot.conf unless you want to add or remove kernels.

If you want to have more than one CPIO available in your device, you can rename your freshly created "ubiboot-02.menus.cpio" to something else, and then put that name in the definition line "G_UBIBOOT_ARCHIVE=" of your ubiboot.conf but that is not necessary really.

(BTW there is also the README file in the animatronics subdirectory, which tells you pretty much this same thing

)

Hi
There is my friend Ubiboot.log and Ubiboot.conf and screenshot from /boot/ and /home/user/MyDocs/boot/.
He couldn't boot Nitdroid, he says the phone goes off after selecting any kernel for nitdroid.
I think kernels and Ubiboot config and ... are true (from blow selection of log)

Code:

Mar 2 11:22:57 (none) user.notice root: Selecting Nitdroid OS, running kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage.pr13 Mar 2 11:22:58 (none) user.notice root: Loading kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage.pr13 Mar 2 11:22:58 (none) user.notice root: kexec_load() successful Mar 2 11:22:58 (none) user.notice root: Restarting to selected OS Mar 2 11:22:58 (none) user.notice root: Saving ubiboot log files Mar 2 11:29:08 (none) user.notice root: Selecting Nitdroid OS, running kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix Mar 2 11:29:10 (none) user.notice root: Loading kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix Mar 2 11:29:10 (none) user.notice root: kexec_load() successful Mar 2 11:29:10 (none) user.notice root: Restarting to selected OS Mar 2 11:29:10 (none) user.notice root: Saving ubiboot log files Mar 2 12:12:38 (none) user.notice root: Selecting Nitdroid OS, running kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage_adb_usb Mar 2 12:12:39 (none) user.notice root: Cannot load Nitdroid kernel /boot/Nitdroid/boot/zImage_adb_usb Mar 2 12:12:39 (none) user.notice root: Boot OS/kernel selection failed Mar 2 12:12:39 (none) user.notice root: Saving ubiboot log files

But the problem is that the /dev/mmcblk0p3 on /mnt/3 Could not be mounted:

Code:

Mar 2 10:31:41 (none) user.notice root: Mounted /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mnt/1 as VFAT Mar 2 10:31:41 (none) user.notice root: Mounted /dev/mmcblk0p2 on /mnt/2 as EXT4 Mar 2 10:31:41 (none) user.notice root: Could not mount /dev/mmcblk0p3 on /mnt/3

Am I true?

What is the solution? A complete flash with full wipe the memory?

Thanks a lot
