Install NITdroid to eMMC (Internal Storage) of N900 Part 2

[xYamtchax]

is it worth the effort? can we call and recieve phonecalls? i have install it succesfully in the microsd but calls aren't possible... :(

[topet2k12001]

@xYamtchax

It depends. If you are doing this to experience I would say it's worth it. But there are features that don't work or fully work at all, such as the voice calling.

[MsMcdrum5]

can l install that without internal storage?

[topet2k12001]

@MsMcdrum5

Internal storage, for the N900, refers to the built-in 32GB storage. Or are you referring to the removable storage such as a Micro SD?

[jsyrtsov]

hey. can i overcklock my n900 when i have installed Nitdroid n12 umay to eMMC?

[topet2k12001]

@jsyrtsov

Yes sir. :)

what can i do^ message comes out when hit the nitdroid option at the boot menu

[topet2k12001]

@davidchan2461

Those who get this error after installing NiTDroid: usually this is due to missing a step in the installation, particularly the first few steps (flashing the kernel). Please try again, following each step slowly and carefully. :)

[achuith08]

[arvindpanwar69]

evrything went fine until i rebooted my device and when i press 2 its gives me an error root filesystem mmcblk0p2 not available guru meditation.....press any button to panic....

this is really pissing off...any suggestions wht do i need to do?please help!!

[topet2k12001]

@ToXiCaTeD619

Getting a "Guru Meditation" error means that upon booting, the device can't find the file needed to boot it into your OS of choice...which means you have skipped a step. :)

[TheHOTFIRE06]

[zahidh82]

3 word for you" YOU ARE AWESOME"

[zahidh82]

Thanks what about camera

[topet2k12001]

@zahidh82

Camera functionality is not yet completed for NITDroid.

[shanhaider70]

@tareqharden .its ok man u can try apt-get update one more time bt it does not creat problem.u must hve a workin internet connection and let it finish

[Mountainbiking100]

hey i need some help, I succesfully insatlled nitdroid once but uninstalled it because of a glitch in the android marketplace. Im trying to reinstall it and keep getting a handful of errors, hopefully someone can help. Btw i first installed android 2.3.4 and am trying to reinstall it

[tareqhardan90]

I ALSO dont get processing triggers for catorise!!!!!!!!

[topet2k12001]

@tareqhardan90

Perhaps it's because you don't have Catorise installed (which I have, but is not required).

[tareqhardan90]

at the end of the (apt-get update) i get a "you may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems"

should i continue or what?

i made sure i have all the repositories enabled....

[sidd211095]

how do u record ur n900 i mean which screen cast do u use ?

[topet2k12001]

@sidd211095

I recorded that on my computer. Just configure a "VNC" connection (like remote desktop) so that your N900's screen will display on your computer. And once done, record the video. :)

[tacituss]

when i enter leafpad /etc/multiboot.d/11-NITDroid-m­mcblk0p2-2.6.28.NIT.06.item it pops up in leafpad buts its empty...

i even tried mmcblk1p2 does pop up empty 2...

what now??

[DanceTiVi]

i get an error in the step at 1:42 that says "no such file or directory"

[DanceTiVi]

@DanceTiVi PLEASEE HELPP!!!!

[topet2k12001]

@DanceTiVi

Friend,

In human language, the N900 is telling you that "You're asking me to unzip/extract (bzip) a file named Nitdroid x.x.x.tar.bz2 that is supposed to be located in 'MyDocs', but I can't seem to find it. Please check that the file is indeed in 'MyDocs' and not in another location or a sub-folder so that I can continue with your request." :)

[DanceTiVi]

@topet2k12001 lol thanks should have deleted this i found out the problem

[cipanzigle]

how to do that?i mean how to create "MyDocs"?

[cipanzigle]

@topet2k12001

i use N12_UMay.tar.bz2

why "no such file or directory" happen?

[cipanzigle]

@topet2k12001

why i cant install N12_UMay.tar.bz2?

really hate this thing....

[DanceTiVi]

i keep getting an error that after i do step 5 "no such file or directory" when i clearly have it there im confused

[JJRR89]

hi! man i need help i do everything on the video and whem i try to go on the android say:

root filessystem mmcblk1p2 not avaiable!

guru meditation #00000025.62017712

what can i do? please a need help on that!!

[topet2k12001]

@JJRR89

Friend I think you may have either missed a step or incorrectly followed a step. :) Are you trying to install to a MicroSD card? The error you mentioned says "mmcblk1p2" by the way. In the instructions for installing to the EMMC (Internal Storage) the tutorial says for us to use "mmcblk0p2".

[JJRR89]

@topet2k12001 man I do everything in the video! and i dont have a microSD card! i dont know what to do....

maybe can be that i dont have the repository complete? or that whem i do the apt-get update say a error and the end?? that can affect in that problem?? couse i do all the step 2 times. i erase all and try again and nothing...

sorry if i write bad i dont speak too much english...

ooohh!! in another tutorial i see that the error can be fixit inserting i microSD but i try and nothing...

[Taal3i]

Hey TopEt... Can I have Ur PeRsonal Email Address.. Iam HavinG some Issues..Installing Gingerbread... I Downloaded All required Files... Flow Steps and When Gingerbread Installed... During Boot It Gives Some Error of "PERMISSION DENIED" and Again Boot Menu Comes.... I need Ur Help

[topet2k12001]

@Taal3i

You can message me at Gmail (my YouTube username is same as my Gmail)

[mhie001babs]

i need some help, whenever i typed mkdir /and

it says that " File Exists

what should i do?

[topet2k12001]

@mhie001babs

Hi Friend,

"mkdir /and" tells the device to create a directory named "and". The message you saw means that the directory has been created prior. Perhaps you already attempted this before, that's why the "and" directory is already there.

[steelhazard]

Hey when i did the install nidroid part it said it couldnt find the pakage? Do i have to Download this pakage in advance?

[topet2k12001]

@steelhazard

Yes you have to download some stuff in advance. Please visit wiki.maemo.org and search for the article on NITDroid installation. The links to the download files are there as well as the full installation instructions. :)

[steelhazard]

@topet2k12001 Hey thanks, i did dl the other stuff in advance but U know the two stuff u need to dl into MyDocs i dl it there and i try to express it on x terminal and it says it cant be found help plz.

Thanks

[neerajganga]

its fixed

thankz

cheers

[topet2k12001]

@neerajganga

Glad to hear that. :)

[TAALIEB]

Just wondering, i might be wrong but..

In this video, you install NITDroid 0.0.9, and after that you install the updates for Gingerbread on the 0.0.9? Does that actually fix anything in 0.0.9?

Thanks

[topet2k12001]

@TAALIEB

Hi Friend,

Good observation. :) I don't know if what I did is supposed to fix any issue...what I can say is that i don't have any problems encountered when I did all of this. :)

[neerajganga]

hey

can any1 help me out

i am gettin dis error wen i put bzip2 -d gingerbread.tar.bz2

"cant open input file gingerbread.tar.bz2"

[topet2k12001]

@neerajganga

Hi Friend,

Perhaps you haven't installed bzip2 yet. It's included when you install FileBox.

[Tijosav]

Im having problem when I finish job wih Leafpad, and before Updates i tried to see if my Android is isntalled then i rebooted my phone and it didnt give me to choose between maemo and android, basically multiboot wont work for me.... any tips ?

[topet2k12001]

@Tijosav

Do you have a MicroSD card on your N900? If so can you try removing it and then start the phone again? Also I recommend visiting talk.maemo.org, you'll get a lot of help there. :) I'm thinking that there could be an error in the way you did the Leafpad steps...that's the most probable reason I can think of.

[Tijosav]

@topet2k12001 Found my way out, tnx for assistance :))

[Taal3i]

@Tijosav When Starting N900 Open The Keyboard So Hopefully It'll Show Boot menu.....

[ishantchugh]

can you plz help i have rootsh installed but it state that cd cannot b found??

plz help

[topet2k12001]

@ishantchugh

Hi Friend,

There is a Wiki Page in maemo.org that will help you through this. The video that I uploaded is based off from those instructions. :)

[SalmanAbbas0]

no i mean mmc is required to boot to nitdroid(although its on emmc)

[topet2k12001]

@SalmanAbbas0

Nope, it is not required...I never had an external/removable MMC (MicroSD) when I did all this. In fact this procedure was created for those who don't have an MMC.

[hhmah]

great man thanx alot

[SalmanAbbas0]

do u have mmc in the slot?



[topet2k12001]

@SalmanAbbas0

Nope, no external MicroSD. This is an installation method where NITDroid is installed into the eMMC (internal memory/storage, a.k.a. "Home" partition).

[907007]

cool post i haven`t all ready buth thanx
