| @juiceme | OK, seems that channel mode was changed to invite/moderated due to netsplit (or my regainig it after split) | 20:22 |
|---|---|---|
| @juiceme | I hope it's correct now. Sorry for the inconvinience... | 20:22 |
| -!- ToAruShiroiNeko [~admin@wikimedia/ToAruShiroiNeko] has joined #ubiboot | 20:58 | |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | so | 20:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I think this is where I should ask | 20:58 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | so I am trying to get my phone to not display the annoying warning message and instead display a menu so I can choose my OS | 21:01 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I already have dual boot installed :/ | 21:02 |
| @juiceme | ok. | 21:10 |
| @juiceme | The annouying menu, is I guess the open-mode warning? | 21:10 |
| @juiceme | also called the "big scary warning" | 21:10 |
| @juiceme | unfortunately to get away from that, you need first reflash your device to closed mode. It's only possible to remove in closed mode, before triggering open mode :( | 21:11 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I want to completely format this thing | 21:53 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I am currently forced to retype every password every time I boot to meegp which barely runs due to its ridiclous speed | 21:54 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | documentation is very complex and I am completely lost | 21:54 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | what exactly should I do? | 21:54 |
| @juiceme | Well, there are quite a few threads about that on TMO, but here's a quick guide wha to do. | 22:05 |
| @juiceme | 1.) backup your stuff, if not done that yet | 22:05 |
| @juiceme | 2.) flash the latest Harmattan release. | 22:06 |
| @juiceme | 3.) install developer mode to get console | 22:06 |
| @juiceme | 4.) do "disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode" | 22:08 |
| @juiceme | 5.) flash open mode, or actually the best thing to do is reflash Harmattan again, and then flash openmode kernel before the device boots. If you do it this way, you don't need to remove the aegis repositories as everything will be set up to open mode right from the start | 22:10 |
| @juiceme | 6.) install the OS'es you need (Nemo, Nitdroid, whatever) | 22:11 |
| @juiceme | 7.) install ubiboot | 22:11 |
| -!- faenil [~faenil@dynamic-adsl-78-12-99-230.clienti.tiscali.it] has joined #ubiboot | 22:36 | |
| faenil | o/ | 22:36 |
| @juiceme | hiya :) | 22:46 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | juiceme alright | 22:49 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | so what do I type to flash the last harmattan release? | 22:49 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | is this the 1.3 gb file? | 22:50 |
| @juiceme | There are 2 files, emmc and rootfs | 22:51 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | could you link me to them | 22:51 |
| @juiceme | see the thread "[HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9" on TMO | 22:51 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | I realise I am making you do my own research but I am very afraid of bricking it :( | 22:52 |
| @juiceme | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 | 22:52 |
| @juiceme | Well I can telly you one thing, bricking wit flasher is not very likely | 22:52 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | ther e is 001 europe (1) and 009 europe (2) | 22:52 |
| @juiceme | What I'd do is use the lowest number that's possible with my device. | 22:54 |
| @juiceme | because you cannot go back, ever. If you flash forex. PR1.3 -009 you cannot _ever_ flash PR1.3 -001 again | 22:55 |
| Jonni | heh never say ever, but yes, officially you cannot go back :) | 22:55 |
| thedead1440 | even unofficially can you flash back from 003 to 001 without having to flash 003's cmt? | 22:56 |
| Jonni | thedead1440: well I can go back even from pr1.3 to pr1.0 :) | 22:56 |
| thedead1440 | i hate you Jonni :p | 22:57 |
| Jonni | but yes, 001 is the one that people should use | 22:57 |
| @juiceme | Jonni, yes, there are exceptions but _generally_ that's true, for normal means :) | 22:57 |
| @juiceme | I can go back to 1.1 :) | 22:58 |
| thedead1440 | juiceme: you mean using ubiboot and another partition? | 22:58 |
| @juiceme | but it's not really that, only virtually :) | 22:58 |
| @juiceme | yes. | 22:58 |
| @juiceme | and even on same partition | 22:59 |
| thedead1440 | how so on the same partition? | 22:59 |
| @juiceme | just tar -cvf your stuff on rootfs and home when booting to ubiboot maintanance console | 23:00 |
| @juiceme | you can replace everything from archive taken from earlier release and it's exactly that. (except for your firmware, it'll continue to be PR1.3) | 23:01 |
| thedead1440 | oh yes that's possible | 23:01 |
| ToAruShiroiNeko | so 001 is the version to aim for? | 23:01 |
| @juiceme | what is your current release (that you are running now) | 23:02 |
| thedead1440 | if you don't have an earlier backup it can be done by just taking a virgin image and extracting it then doing the tar | 23:02 |
| @juiceme | I suppose so, but I have not tried to extract the files from a packaged rootfs/emmc image | 23:03 |
| thedead1440 | i use 0xFFFF for it thanks to Pali | 23:04 |
| @juiceme | I think those are not encrypted and it would be doable? | 23:04 |
| @juiceme | isn't that only for N900? | 23:04 |
| thedead1440 | i've done the extraction of rootfs several times its easy and not encrypted | 23:04 |
| @juiceme | okay, can you give me a link? | 23:05 |
| thedead1440 | nope the latest versions since >3months are with Harmattan support | 23:05 |
| Jonni | you can extract from bin files quite easily | 23:05 |
| thedead1440 | 0xFFFF -n -M rootfs.bin -u | 23:06 |
| thedead1440 | Then use unlzo.py: | 23:06 |
| thedead1440 | python unlzo.py /path/to/extracted/rootfs | 23:06 |
| thedead1440 | then mount: | 23:06 |
| thedead1440 | mount -t ext4 rootfs /mnt/point | 23:06 |
| @juiceme | ok, will try that :) | 23:11 |
