| 10:16.53 | keb | flasher-3.5 -k 2.6.37 -n initrd.img -l -b"rootdelay root=/dev/ram0" |
| 10:17.18 | keb | command from wiki page, and i ran it from my download foldar the last time, where rescue os img is stored |
| 10:17.43 | merlin1991 | do you have a kernel file called 2.6.37 in the directory? |
| 10:18.02 | merlin1991 | because -k $PATH tells flasher which kernel to load |
| 10:18.34 | keb | wiki did not say i have to download it, its a bit unclear |
| 10:18.56 | keb | from what i read there is 2 way to boot it, one from tarball and another way from img file |
| 10:20.31 | keb | did i read it wrong? anyways the link leading to kernel file is dead |
| 10:20.51 | merlin1991 | http://n900.quitesimple.org/rescueOS/ is the current location of the stuff |
| 10:21.38 | merlin1991 | you do need the 2.6.37 in any case |
| 10:22.55 | keb | thx i seem to be in rescue os |
| 10:23.20 | merlin1991 | but just get 2.6.37 and the rescueOS-1.1.img from the link above and load those with flasher-3.5 -k 2.6.37 -n rescueOS-1.1.img -l -b"rootdelay root=/dev/ram0" |

| 11:24.49 | kerio | ? |
| 11:24.56 | kerio | once it's loaded, the PC doesn't have to do shit |

| 14:22.41 | vi__ | Alternatively you could use easy debian. |

| 14:23.53 | keb | yes, today in the morning it was turned off, and i wasn't able to turn it on, it got into bootloop |

| 14:45.02 | joga | heh, when my gf was at student exchange in different timezone and asked me to do a wake-up call for her in the morning, I made a little scheduled script to call her number and put the speaker on so if I wake up I can talk a bit to her too, but I didn't :p she did though |
| 14:46.11 | vi__ | WHen you can script your n900 you suddenly realise that 10000 apps are now redundant. |
| 14:46.17 | joga | yeah |
| 14:46.27 | SAiF | bootlooping is an error with the root files system, and if root is not working fine, you cannot flash emmc. So the order for your case is flash root, flash emmc and then flash root again. |
| 14:46.43 | vi__ | Yes I can can make my phone wake me up at 0638 and tell me the time in Chinese voice then play a radio station. |
| 14:46.48 | vi__ | It is a 1 liner. |
| 14:46.59 | SAiF | I have a slackware 14 lying around :) |
| 14:47.10 | keb | i skipped emmc this time, but it should not cvause any trouble, right? atleast i have my documents |
| 14:47.15 | vi__ | You do not need to flash emmc. |
| 14:47.23 | keb | thx |
| 14:47.31 | vi__ | You know what is in emmc flash image? |
| 14:47.38 | vi__ | You know why it is ~300mb? |
| 14:47.54 | vi__ | because it is full of some bullshit mp3 and 2 videos. |
| 14:47.55 | keb | if i read it right it replaces the whole internal storage |
| 14:48.03 | SAiF | yes |
| 14:48.24 | vi__ | There is literally nothing of any value in emmc image. |
| 14:48.28 | vi__ | ... |
| 14:48.34 | vi__ | except maybe the partition table. |
| 14:48.36 | keb | i tought i might have some corrupted data in there thats why i attepted to do the emmc flash first |
| 14:49.21 | vi__ | After the first boot a bunch of stuff is copied to emmc /opt/. |
| 14:49.35 | joga | also ages ago I put a script that runs in the morning and checks if my net and server is ok and if they are, it doesn't do anything, but if something's wrong it gives me a popup message telling what, haven't needed to touch it in two years or so :p |
| 14:50.19 | joga | so before I leave home in the morning I can sort it out heh |
| 14:50.29 | vi__ | My alarm is a cron job. |

| 23:45.15 | deepy | charging it with the ccable attached to e wal |
| 23:47.53 | DocScrutinizer05 | osso-usb-mass-storage-enable.sh might help, but it's not supposed to be needed, you should see a popup menu as soon as you plug the device to a PC |
| 23:48.29 | deepy | no pop-up, no banner |

| 23:49.27 | DocScrutinizer05 | probably you installed a kernel and during that messed up the kernel modules? |
| 23:54.34 | DocScrutinizer05 | or your USB is broken |
| 23:54.59 | DocScrutinizer05 | is your PC a linux system? |
| 23:55.51 | deepy | nope, windows |

| 23:57.26 | xes | deepy: sometimes may happen that usb data connection stops working. Poweroff the N900..wait a minute, then power up it again (no reboot) |
| 23:58.05 | deepy | I'll try that tomorrow |
