O2 Joggler Forum

On a PnP joggler...all been oK...

TONIGHT it locked... rebooted...and all I get is the O2 screen?

time to refresh (If I can remember how to book the linux set and re-download)?

Steve

Is there an easy way to go back to square 1!?

First, use boot into Ubuntu from a USB stick and use gparted to check that you have exactly 980.5MB of unallocated space on the Joggler's internal memory. Anything less than this and you have a fault with the internal memory. Delete all partitions & click on the green tick. Next, close gparted, open terminal & enter the following lines one at a time:

sudo mkdir /backup
sudo chmod a+rwx /backup
cd /backup
sudo wget http://files.exotica.org.uk/?file=joggler/files/mmcblk0.img.gz
gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

After you're done, close down Ubuntu, pull the power supply for a minute then reboot into Joggler OS. If that doesn't work then there is probably a fault with the internal memory.

Cheers Dwl99...
I couldnt find the background to remind me how to do it...

errr is that correct?


sudo mkdir /backup
sudo chmod a+rwx /backup
sudo wget http://files.exotica.org.uk/?file=joggl ... lk0.img.gz
sudo dd if=/backup/mmcblk0.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M
rm mmcblk0.img (optional if you want to remove the downloaded image from your USB stick)

I'm not a linux person... but if I LS the drive...I see a mmcblk0.img.gz file in the root...I guess on the USB stick...
and the 4th line fails...
as its not in backup...
a) how will that work
b) surely a .gz file is compressed

but Please educate me...!

well ...no good so far... - still an O2 screen...sigh

oops, you're correct. The link was originally pointing to an uncompressed file in my Dropbox account. BuZz kindly took over the hosting but when I changed the link over I didn't spot that he had compressed the image file. So you'll need to uncompress it first.

after the "sudo chmod", do "cd /backup" then the wget, then for the dd you can do
gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

have now edited previous posts to:

sudo mkdir /backup
sudo chmod a+rwx /backup
cd /backup
sudo wget http://files.exotica.org.uk/?file=joggler/files/mmcblk0.img.gz
gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

Thanks DWl99

sorry to be a right royal pain
if I read this right... having got the compressed file in to /backup

then the command should be?

sudo dd gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

yields a "DD: invlaid option - - 'c'

have I got something wrong?

sorry I'm struggling...! as you can tell

dwl made a little typo. use the command from my previous post.

gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

Have edited previous posts to:

sudo mkdir /backup
sudo chmod a+rwx /backup
cd /backup
sudo wget http://files.exotica.org.uk/?file=joggler/files/mmcblk0.img.gz
gzip -cd mmcblk0.img.gz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

tools/bin/partimage -z2 restore /dev/mmcblk0p3 payload/image.myg
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cp payload/vmlinux /mnt/vmlinux0
cp payload/vmlinux /mnt/vmlinux1
cd /mnt
md5sum vmlinux0 >>sum0
md5sum vmlinux1 >>sum1
sed -i '3d' sum0

----------------
AFTER JOGGLER SHUTS DOWN TAKE OUT UNBUNTU USB STICK AND PLACE THE DOWNLOADED FILE UNRARED TO THE OTHER USB STICK INTO THE JOGGLER POWER UP JOGGLER AND WAIT A WHILE IT SHOULD BOOT UP, IF IT GETS STUCK ON THE O2 LOGO
GOTO PC AND GET THIS WEBSITE UP http://www.gforums.de/juggler/index.html

In the latest version of squeezeplay i noticed spotify added. im already a member of spotify and can play sounds free on my pc but this version on squeeze play is mobile version so asks me to pay. is there anyway round it.
Also id love skyfire on the joggler its a far better browser than opera and would possibly run tv catchup who knows. A MASSIVE BIG THANK YOU FOR PNP
Fring would also be an asset or skype. i know that a mic will work in joggler.
Is divx available too ....
