Simple silly "bootloader" (sillyboot)

[e-yes]

In order to boot different OS (apart from Harmattan), you need some "bootloader".
Simple silly bootloader aka sillyboot, that allow you to choose whether to start alternative OS or not (by pressing Volume Up key).

ONLY FOR EXPERIENCED USERS! NO WARRANTY!
THERE IS VERY HIGH RISC OF GETTING BRICK!

Short HOWTO:
1. Put the file attached to the device.
2. Execute following command as root (I suggest to use SSH connection over USB):

Code: [Select]

tar xjvf /home/user/MyDokumentz/sillyboot.tar.bz2 -C /
3. Write full howto for not so experienced hackers;)

its  working i make it with n9 terminal

go to terminal -->

write devel-su and put your password. default is rootme
then Execute that command and reboot phone, you should see text that volume up starts alternative os

This is bootloader to nitdroid?

[Vihru]

This is bootloader to nitdroid?

extracted with putty ssh.
 dunno if it works because it dont have an alternate os to boot into;)

Edit. Reboot gives message vol up to boot into alternate os so the scirpt seems to be working. All i need now is nitdroid files;)

tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot.tar.bz2 -C /

Terminal says:

sbin/preinit
bin/evkey

Anyway, i get the message on reboot so I guess it works
