http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/ host not available most of the time when i look into it.

I don't know if it runs from your home PC or not, but if you wish i can offer a mirror for the files witch is available 23.5hr per day.

@Necc: I think it's your DNS - According to my logs, it goes down for about 5 minutes every month or two, and I've not had any trouble recently.
It's also hosted on a professionally-hosted UK VPS along with another site, and that site's users haven't had any issues recently, so..
edit:
Thanks for the offer, though I don't think I need it.
If you want, you can mirror it - it's all GPL.

Can I restore my BackupMenu images through the Nokia Flasher?
Not currently. This is a planned feature, but not in the current version. It -is- possible to convert a BackupMenu image to a Nokia Flasher rootfs image, but it requires a Linux PC with mtd-utils.
Once you have that, the process is as follows(Note, based on this, from Stskeeps:

Code:

#make a temp dir:
mkdir rootfs
#Extract your rootfs tarball:
tar xf *date*-rootfs.tar -C ./rootfs/
#Now, make a file called "ubinize.cfg", edit it, and paste the contents of *note 1*
#Make a ubifs image with our rootfs contents:
mkfs.ubifs -m 2048 -e 129024 -c 2047 -R 4MiB -r ./rootfs/ -v ./base.ubi.img
#Package it up:
ubinize -o ./rootfs.img ubinize.cfg -m 2048 -p 128KiB -s 512
#...And write it to your N900:
flasher-3.5 -r ./rootfs.img -f -R

Note 1:

Code:

[ubifs]
mode="ubi"
image="./base.ubi.img"
vol_id="0"
vol_size="200MiB"
vol_type="dynamic"
vol_name="rootfs"
vol_alignment="1"
vol_flags="autoresize"

NOTE: different versions of mtd-utils sometimes make corrupt images. I find "mtd-utils_20090606-1_amd64.deb" worked for me.

According to my ISP, your host IP address is "92.48.69.9".

"www.wildernessguardians.com" uses this IP.

If i try to open "http://92.48.69.9/BackupMenu/" it is a big fat 404 error.

However "http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/BackupMenu/" is a 1x1 pixel gif file according to my browser (both IE and firefox)

Later i try your site from different ISPs, and if the error is in our side (i also work from an ISP) i'll knock on some heads here to figure this out.

@necc: Everything's right except for the 1-pix-gif thing; it displays a directory listing for me and ndi.
Also, the IP-based address you can use is http://92.48.69.8/~robbieth/BackupMenu/

@stevomanu:
I'm not sure what you're asking... what are you having problems with?
You -may- want to just not bother with this, especially if you aren't comfortable reflashing a few times - Several people have reported iffy success with that method depending on the version of mtd-tools used.

IP-based version works perfectly, thx. I have no idea why the original does not works.

May just be a leftover, unneeded file. Let me know if everything still works right.
