[coderus]

try to read this tutorial first.

[gaurav_a_shah]

all done... thanks... just had to zeroize and do it all again... just booted on NITDroid now

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

That one left me with broken availability icons, how do I wipe my device totally clean of any account remnants!?

I was using the extra accounts plugins... I thought deleting stuff by terminal would be cleaner than manually, maybe I should've gone both ways...

Can I set this correct without reflashing?

[coderus]

impossible. broken means red squares?
do reboot.

I have installed alpha 3 following instructions for clear installation.

All steps went with no problem. Kernel flashed, sillyboot installed, Nitroid files are unpacked.

After all i see text offering boot alternative OS, but when i press Volume Up button it only shows "@@@" string and after ~10 sec phone shuts down.

Any idea what went wrong?

[coderus]

when you in Meego, can you use Camera, Gallery, can you see contents of /home/user/MyDocs?

[akamensky]

Absolutely. I can use all the functionality with no problems. eMMC is not corrupted.

The system was tweaked previously (since original FW was 003 -- Chinese region, i added repos for 001 to have Skype, Facebook etc).
So maybe that could be a reason. I am reflashing device with erasing all user data and reflashing eMMC as well. Will report if this helped.

By the way -- after flashing dual-boot kernel the system erase did not work. Well, it worked and device reported that all user data has been wiped, but after booting back to MeeGo all old data still was present in /home/user/MyDocs/, contacts and old SMS, MMS etc were still there. Not sure whether it is fault of kernel, but worth to double check.

After full reflash with original images everything went smoothly. The Nitdroid is running on device. Where can i put bug reports?
