[Tutorial] Clean install NITDroid on Nokia N9/50

[coderus]

First read A, B, C, choose your situation, then continue.

• A. You have vanilla device with ORIGINAL firmware
  
  • Preventing display Scary Warranty Void message
    
    - run following command in shell (as user):
    disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode
    
    
  • Prepare for NITDroid
    You should disable SIM code request, NITDroid doesn't support it yet
    
    
  • Prepare for openmode
    You should remove accounts (will remove all setted accounts from device, you should create them again after reflashing)
    run following commands in shell (as user):
    rm -rf /home/user/.accounts
    rm -rf /home/user/.activesync
    rm -rf /home/user/.aegis
    
    
  • Flashing to dualboot kernel
    Before you proceed make sure that "Device lock" is not enabled in Harmattan (In Settings \ Security \ Device Lock \ Autolock: off). If you have an Mail-for-Exchange account configured, you may need to delete it before you can disable device lock.
    
    If flasher bombs out with "Devicelock ON: cannot flash unsigned image", then you didn't, go back and disable it.
    
    - Download flasher for Harmattan for your OS from here: [tablets-dev]
      (scroll down to "Maemo Flasher-3.12.1 Tool for Harmattan for your_favorite_OS"). Install/or/unpack it.
    - Download [dualboot kernel zImage]
    - Download Harmattan FIASCO image using [NaviFirm+] (in wine on Linux you can use [NaviFirmEx]), only one file, filename looks like DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin (for N950 you should extract img.bin from [here])
    - Check checksums of images. DFL61[..].bin image crc32 can be found in .vpl file, in NaviFirm images list. zImage md5 at the bottom of instruction.
    - Connect device to PC (if not connected), and select Synchronization mode for USB.
     For Windows OS-es
    
    • Copy both images to flasher directory
    • Type in command line (cmd.exe):
      cd path_to_directory_which_contains_your_flasher
      flasher.exe -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage.pr13 --flash-only=kernel --suppress-warranty-warning -f -R
    For Linux OS-es
    
    • Type in terminal following commands:
      cd path_to_directory_which_contains_your_downloaded_images
      sudo flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage.pr13 --flash-only=kernel --suppress-warranty-warning -f -R
    >> Phone will be flashed to Dualboot kernel, and then rebooted.
    
    
  • Unpacking NITDroid archive to device
    - download archive: [nitdroid_n9_ics_alpha4.tar.bz2] (place it into /home/user/MyDocs folder, for example, it's root of N9 drive in mass storage mode)
    - run following commands in priveleged shell (devel-su):
    mkdir /home/nitdroid
    tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid_n9_ics_alpha4.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid
    
    
  • Unpacking Sillyboot menu for dualboot to device
    - download archive: [sillyboot_2.tar.bz2] (place it into /home/user/MyDocs folder, for example, it's root of N9 drive in mass storage mode)
    - run following command in priveleged shell (devel-su):
    tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot_2.tar.bz2 -C /
    *you can use Sillyboot2 mods with another graphics: [Sillyboot v2 multiboot mods thread]
    
    Reboot phone. Push "Volume Up" button when message "Press VolUp to boot alternative OS" appear . Wait a little, pray a little...
    
    
• B. You using other openmode kernel and DON'T WANT to disable Scary Warranty Void message
  • Do only 2. 4. 5. 6.
    
    
• C. You using openmode kernel and having Scary Warranty Void message and WANT to disable it
  • You should do FULL REFLASH to original firmware, and do all. Reflash to original image, without extra options, kernels, etc. Just:
    flasher -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -f --suppress-warranty-warning -R

Known limitations:

• OpenMode. Device Lock Code wouldn't work.
• SIMLOCK. Sorry, you are out of luck, seems to be your device is locked by operator (do you have any obligatory contract?). Please, contact Nokia or operator representatives/support for more information..

The link that you provided(nitdroid_n9_ics_alpha2_f.tar.bz2) had to solve all problems?
etc: Hypersensitive Accelerometer problem,Wi-Fi problem
sorry for my bad english... hope you understand~

[coderus]

don't make so big quote
and no, accelerometer i forget to include..i will do it soon. and wifi unsolvable yet. isn't it?

....
done, accelerometer fix included

[Dousan]

Yeah wifi 'fix' is different for every one as it's your wifi name and login code you write in the 'fix'. So as of now couldn't be made as a common 'fix' in alpha 2.

Regards Dousan...

[coderus]

And all secure wifi stations i used worked fine. Again and again and never forget pass. Aura =)

[miteka]

Where the zimage file link?

[coderus]

In text =)

...
okay, made it more bright for blind people.

[miteka]

sorry

Upon executing tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/nitdroid_n9_ics_alpha2_f.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid i got the following:

tar: can't remove old file system/lib/modules/current: Is a directory

also after tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot_2.tar.bz2 -C / i get :

tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot_2.tar.bz2 -C /
sbin/preinit
tar: can't remove old file sbin/preinit: Permission denied

. I'm working on a stock n9 with pr1.2  under devel-su. Any thoughts? (also can't rm -rf the accounts)

i suggest to you to backup all of your data to computer and clear your device, after that you can reiinstall the kernel, sillyboot and nitdroid, i am sure that will be success
ps : i do that step and i  succes

[dougian]

i've already backed up my contacts and conversations.. What do you mean by clear? from within harmattan? Flash a new kernel? what? :/

  - run following command:
  disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode
  

Did anyone tried that? I've ran this command as root but it shown me only this error:

Code: [Select]

CAL ERROR: nand_write: write (4096 bytes at around 001c1000): Input/output error
