16:55.41laxhttp://wiki.openezx.org/Dual_boot  says i have to cat /dev/mtd1 > zImage-2.4
16:55.53laxbut i dont have /dev/mtd1
16:56.43laxi logged into my motorola a780 phone after putting it into zaurus network mode
16:56.48laxusing at+mode=99
16:57.45kamathlnwhat do i do?
16:59.19kamathlnI also don't have flashcp on the phone. Now i am confused. Do I need openezx already on my phone to do this ?
17:04.10*** join/#openezx l403 (n=l@85.132.159.239)
17:05.40sabrodkamathln: flashcp is for later, you can use cyph'ss flashkit.
17:05.52kamathlnchecks
17:07.00sabrodfor now you have to create /dev/mtdX with mknod, you have to know the major and minor device's number...
17:07.29kamathlnthats no problem . i hav mtd2
17:07.37kamathlni could guess from it..
17:07.50sabrodyes
17:08.16kamathlncrw-rw-r--    1 root     root      90,   4 Jan  1  1970 mtd2
17:08.25kamathln90 and 4 is for mtd2
17:08.27sabrodtry a "cat' until it give you a 876kB file
17:08.54kamathlnoh ok.. the 876 kB stuff  will be my backup kernel ?
17:08.57sabrodsound ok...what phone?
17:09.02kamathlna780
17:09.03sabrodright
17:09.42sabrodso this is it: ~900kB...
17:09.48sabrodl40
17:09.57kamathlnyeah.. checking
17:10.14kamathlndid not allow to create in /dev/ created in /tmp
17:10.15sabrodl403 did this a few days ago :)
17:10.28sabrodright, i forgot it.
17:11.48kamathlnl403 ? what's that ?

17:13.11l403is l403
17:13.17kamathlnl403 is the nick of a fellow openezx guy!
17:13.24kamathlndumb me
17:15.08l403but i'm nott really a openezx guy
17:15.27l403just another ezx phone owner
17:15.38kamathlnwell you try to "open" your "ezx" phone right ?
17:15.59kamathlnbacked up other mtds as well just in case
17:16.08kamathlngot flashkit ..
17:16.24kamathlnfrom here http://cyph.marcuslee.org/flashkit-0.1.zip
17:16.27kamathlnis it the right one ?
17:17.35l403sabrod: I got only 81 files in /bin
17:17.45l403using the connsole version
17:17.45sabrodsay yes and cross fingers or all the EZX devices in the world
17:18.29sabrodls -l > it give you the total, including subfolders.
17:19.59sabrodno?
17:20.07l403yes :)
17:20.08l403sry
17:21.49sabrodWell it's a mess of links here, i don't  really understand why ls -l told me 1050 files , but  i see 81 files in nautilus as you...
17:23.59kamathlnsabrod .. does ls -l show "total 1050" in the beginning ?
17:24.09kamathlnare you sure 1050 is the number of files ?
17:24.16kamathlnor is it in kbs
17:24.23kamathlnor something different
17:24.43sabrod<PROTECTED>
17:25.01kamathlnnot files
17:25.04kamathlnsabrod
17:25.14kamathlnsabrod: its in kb i guess
17:25.23sabrodls -l /etc/  show total 3620...
17:25.28sabrodmaybe.
17:26.09sabrodthis is kB, right :)
17:27.04sabrod(so /bin is 1020 and /etc is 3620 kb) ;)

17:33.08sabrodWow, you made the research, thanks! :)
17:33.48kamathlnI am a bit good at bash, and was actually ashamed I did not know it :-P
17:34.03kamathlnMy ego did not let me go without researching it
17:34.14sabrodhehe

17:34.23l403do you know what tthere is to the mtd-utils? maybe I could judt copy the flashcp and some library to a rootfs that works for me
17:34.40sabrod(I was fine with kb )
17:34.45sabrod:)
17:34.45l403Hi.WM
17:35.30l403whhat do you tink sabrod?
17:35.34l403*think
17:35.41kamathlnhehheh
17:35.47sabrodwell i believe there is some ipkg's somewhere...
17:36.01l403oh, man ;)
17:36.32sabrod:)
17:36.58sabrodbbiab...
17:37.57kamathlnI almost completely forgot! My volume key is broken.. I need to modify gen_blob to listen to some other key :-P
17:38.12kamathln:-( . All the experimentation now has to wait for it
17:39.10kamathlnIs there really no way to "chroot" into openezx directory ?
17:43.35l403sabrod: the ipkg does nont have to be a780 specific, right? Ii cant find it tthough
17:44.06sabrodno try some arm binaries.
17:44.09sabrodbbiab
17:44.25l403whats bbiab?
17:44.32sabrodwtf bbiab
17:44.50kamathlnl403 be back in a bit
17:44.58sabrod:) be back in a right.
17:45.02kamathlnl403: i too just googled it
17:45.05l403ok
18:15.13WMkamathln: the original blob also uses the volume key, how are you going to flash/send gen-blob without it?
18:16.50kamathlnflashkit ?
18:17.02kamathlndoesn't flashkit work without it ?
18:17.08kamathlnI am confused
18:17.21kamathlngen-blob is just a boot loader right ?
18:17.53kamathlnusing flashkit, I am supposed to write it to /dev/mtd1 right ?
18:19.24sabrodwell the sameyou found your 900kb file ...
18:19.41sabrodyou didn't told us if it was mtd1..
18:20.48sabrodwith the same os, this is the same partition name ;)
18:22.05kamathlni did not get you.. What do you mean by "you didn't told us if it was mtd1.."
18:22.33kamathlnthe 900 kb file , when run through "strings" command had this " Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.
18:22.36kamathln"
18:23.30sabrodmaybe you can change the "default" (no key pressed) mode to "usb" mode easily on genblob...
18:23.37sabrodand try this way?
18:25.30kamathlnerr. should i ? can't i change the key combination to something else ?
18:25.38kamathlnliek the home button?
18:25.41kamathlnlike*
18:26.13sabrodno, it's just i 'm confused... you said you created a block device node, but you didn't told us the minor device number...

18:27.22sabrodOk.
18:28.16kamathlnmaking it permanantly boot in USB mode would be too bad. I would have to lug my laptop to start my phone ;_P
18:30.02sabrodwell you can flash a "menu" genblob, and, when on usb, send an "usb" genblob...
18:30.07sabrod:)

18:30.43kamathlnusing my broken volume control ??
