User:Speedevil/N900 software rescue disk
This is a brief page outlining thoughts on rescue disks.
If you've bootlooped your device, and it sort-of-comes up - but not all the way - what can you do? Well - flash it of course.
None of this is tested - it's hypothetical to get my thoughts in order.
Alternatives?
[edit] Booting from mmc
This doesn't work - the MeeGo kernel doesn't support MMC.
- Download the MeeGo code-drop and the ARM kernel image
- Flash the kernel to the device.

- Untar the image to the first partition of a microSD.
- Use flasher to boot it.

- Correct any oopses in script editing or stuff.
- Reflash original kernel.
[edit] A better way
Work out how to boot a fs from MyDocs - which is a vfat partition. Plug n900 in - when off - it will now present MyDocs as a vfat device you can mount. Clear 500M or so of space (if needed).
Place boot filesystem on MyDocs. boot it using flasher, as above, to pass appropriate parameters to kernel.
