    When you get a power kernel, you should also get an icon to deinstall it. If you haven't it, do install the "kernel-power-settings" package, and you should have it thereafter.
    Then, having an internet connection open, activate that icon. Titan's script will download the stock nokia kernel, and reflash it on your device to get rid of the power kernel.

    Hmm, Have you the link please to deinstall this kernel and maybe get one that works?

    Thanks
    Possible cause:
    You are connected through USB to computer.

    If yes then the folders to which camera app saves pictures are unavailable.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    Looks like my pphone has packed in now.

    Turn it on and its stuck in an endless boot cycle.

    Nokia sign->attempts to load kernel ->restarts its self->Nokia sign->attempts to load kernel ->restarts its self->Nokia sign->attempts to load kernel ->restarts its self->etc....

    I know you guys said its because im using extra testing/devel, however everything worked 100% perfect up until i updated my phone to pr1.3.

    Unfortunatly the U+Power does not enter me into flash mode

    Gutted...guess its for the bin now, any sujestions on what phone to get next, i would ideally like something with a keybored, and touchscreen.

    Might give android a go next maybe?

    Your problem was that you hadn't installed titans updated fcam drivers after up upgraded kernel-power to >v42 (from extras-devel, somewhere you should clearly not be going)

    Your solution is to re-flash just the kernel.

    You will loose nothing except kernel-power.

    Once your phone is up and running again, disable extras-devel, then install advanced linux kernel for power users, and settings v42 which should be in extras-testing.

    Do not enable extras-devel until you are comfortable with the possible outcome, i.e. having to reflash.

    Yes but you had extras-devel enabled. This is a repository for developers and those aiding in testing and development. It is not a place for end users to stray, at least not without taking note of the warnings and possible consequences.

    Please re-read my last post, I have already explained what you need to do.

    testing & devel apps..SIGH...

    You got what you asked for so shut up and fix them by yourself or do bug reports and debug.

    I have read it over,

    I have no idea how to re-flash 'just the kernel'

    at the moment when i turn my phone on, it comes up with U-Boot.

    it then says starting kernel, phone restarts, then goes back the starting kernel.
    After about 10 times it says 'device malfunction' and shuts down.

    What i dont get, i know devel is for developers and there are consequences and it has the possobility to mess things up, however upuntil pr1.3 compatability for all the apps i was using was perfect, i had all the stuff installed that i wanted to use and the phone ran great.

    After pr1.3 i just had endless issues and now this....

    I would be very greatful if you can guide me on how to re-flash just the kernel in the state that its in.

    as for using kernel-power v42, im not sure of how to get the different ones, i just used the 'kernel-power(settings)' from app man :S

    Thanks

    that is why you should not use the devel repo in the first place.

    with PR's there comes n+1 changes to n+1 (core) components. can you see the connection now?

    e: and naturally there has been no way testing devel apps against PR1.3 until 27.10.2010.

    Yeah, i understand.

    Just gutted more than anything.

    To be honest i cant even remember which apps i instleed from extras-devel.

    More so what could have caused this major mess up?
