    A. In most instances this step is unnecessary; so, at least if you don't have a card reader or Windows, skip it and see if the process turns out OK anyway.
    B. Download and install the Panasonic SD Memory Card Formatting Software into your Windows computer.
    C. Place your SD Card in a card reader.
    D. Use the Panasonic formatter to format the card. Select the options for FULL Erase ON and for Format Size Adjustment OFF. (It doesn't matter if the formatter reports that it can't use the Erase function.) This low-level formatting takes about 10 minutes.

    We will get it done! Just being systematic

    Actually, I remembered that program from when I had to use it earlier in the year from when I upgraded to Diablo. I had used it a few times to format, but for some reason it wasn't doing it right or I had the wrong things marked -- in any case, it worked on my final try this morning, and everything is in working order again, but yeah, I had to use the 770 instructions because of the error about the partition name, I think, hehehe. Thanks for the help or I'd never gotten my card in working order again.

    With a SD adapter, I cloned the fine-tuned N800 onto a miniSD and pumped it into my N810. Now my N810 has the same User interface and settings as my N800. Again, the cloning needs to do is, partitions and then ./nupgrade.sh wipe. and that is all.

    Hello All.

    Am stuck please help.....
    I pasted my last successful step.
    ????? Should 0p2, 0p3 and 0p4 be partition also?????? Thanks

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    Nokia-N810-43-7:~# sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
    Checking that no-one is using this disk right now ...
    OK

    Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 61440 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
    Old situation:
    Units = mebibytes of 1048576 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

    Device Boot Start End MiB #blocks Id System
    /dev/mmcblk0p1 0+ 1919 1920- 1966072 b W95 FAT32
    /dev/mmcblk0p2 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
    /dev/mmcblk0p3 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
    /dev/mmcblk0p4 0 - 0 0 0 Empty
    Input in the following format; absent fields get a default value.
    <start> <size> <type [E,S,L,X,hex]> <bootable [-,*]> <c,h,s> <c,h,s>
    Usually you only need to specify <start> and <size> (and perhaps <type>).

    /dev/mmcblk0p1 :

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    This is what I get when I run the mkdosfs command, but my umount command seem to run fine above. Please Help..Thanks.
    >>

    Nokia-N810-43-7:~# mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1
    mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)
    mkdosfs: /dev/mmcblk0p1 contains a mounted file system.

    Absolute requirement for this instructions: you got to know how to flash your tablet if you scr@w up. YMMV, here we go:

    1) http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...e+simplified87, thread #292 and #347 just for your reading pleasure

    2) install rootsh to gainroot, ApManager>Browse Installable Apps>All>rootsh

    3) install wget
    sudo gainroot
    apt-get install wget

    4) install e2fsprogs package, app manager>Tools>app atalog...>new

    Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/
    Distribution: bora
    Components: free non-free
    OK>close>exit app manager. You HAVE to exit app manager to proceed.

    sudo gainroot
    apt-get install e2fsprogs
    exit

    5) partition >500MB on 2G internal SD (the one has to open the back plate of your N800 for access, NOT the kickstand SD card). If you have a lot a lot of progs installed, you may need to make this partition even bigger than 500MB.

    If error message, continue to proceed, sometimes the umount is NOT necessary, and uncheck the swap memory, Controlpanel>Memory>Virtual uncheck.
    sudo gainroot
    umount /dev/mmcblk0p1 (numeral zero and numeral one)
    sfdisk /dev/mmcblk0 -uM
    /dev/mmcblk0p1: 0,1400,0C (substitute C with 6 for fat16 partition)
    /dev/mmcblk0p2: ,,,
    /dev/mmcblk0p3:
    /dev/mmcblk0p4:
    reboot

    sudo gainroot
    mkdosfs /dev/mmcblk0p1

    6) install boot menu, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=22771

    7) This is for a 2G card internal SD with the above partitions, see this for various different partitions, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ified87&page=5, thread #49; follow http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...e+simplified87, thread #292, or

    -----------------------------------------------------------
    As user "user"
    mkdir ~/bin
    cd ~/bin
    wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/nupgrade.sh
    wget http://www.nmacleod.com/nokia/bin/tar
    chmod +x nupgrade.sh tar

    sudo gainroot
    cd ~/bin
    ./nupgrade.sh wipe
    "Using...ext2fs

    it runs for 5+ minutes and ends up with
    ...
    Committing updates and Unmounting filesystems
    Done
    /home/user/bin #

    No error messages.

    Done.

    check with diskusage that you have >256MB on rootfs; see pic; done with partition /dev/mmcblk0p1: 0,1200,06
    Now on top of my 33 installed programs, I still have 416.8 MB space to install MORE programs. How about yours ?

    N810/5.2008.43-7 w SD boot




    ok...success.
    but i don't think the clone was copied to my int. mem.

    here is what my last step look like:

    =======================================

    Nokia-N810-43-7:~/bin# ./nupgrade.sh wipe

    Target device: Internal Flash card, second partition (/dev/mmcblk0p2)
    Using filesystem: ext2fs
    Continue? (YES/no) :
    ========================================

    shouldn't the target device be int. SD card or something?
    and when I installed a app, my device memory drops.

    Are you booting from the int flash or int memory? You could NOT boot up from int memory and install apps on int flash, NOT easily done. They do NOT communicate.

    that's what happenning.
    when i first tried it.....i made a mistake and cloned my OS to my int flash and in the middle of it ran out-off-space.

    when tried the second time the right way this is what I got.

    booting from immc2 but my apps are being installed on my int flash.
    if i uninstall a app my int flash memory in control panel change.
    is there a command to check this?

    Use Diskusage to look at rootfs, it should be the size of your partition, if you boot up SD successfully.

    xterm
    cat /proc/partitions , i booted from ext SD and my size is 604 MB
