2 . Return to web page http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/#sdhc and continue. Scroll up or down until you see this heading Support for SDHC cards and higher SD/MMC speeds for Nokia 770 On this line kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz MMC bus clock limit 48MHz (fastest, may be unstable with some cards) Click the link at the beginning of the line “ kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz ” Save this file just like you saved the kernel flasher file earlier. In the same location, and use file manager to make sure it is there. Return to this instruction page when you are sure you have both of the above files and continue. *** Very important : Write the exact name of the two files you have saved exactly as they are for later reference. When you type it in the xterm window all text and symbols must be exactly the same as the file name*** If osso-xterm and Becomeroot is already installed skip to Step 7 |

4. Next install “Becomeroot in one or 2 ways. 1 Click the number 5 and follow these instruction.
I used [5] and used the application Repository URL: http://eko.one.pl/maemo Run application Manager, select application manager with the top menu, Tools, Application catalogue, New, Type the following: Catalog name: BecomeRoot (this is what I named it) Web address: http://eko.one.pl/maemo Distribution: bora Components: user
If you have an internet connection and everything was typed correctly the list should refresh OK Click Browse Installable applications Becomeroot should be in the menu Install becomeroot. 5 . OR if you do not want to do it this way on the same page download this file by clicking [6] and download and install becomeroot_0.1-2_armel.deb |

6. Another way to install osso-xterm If the first way above did not work try this. Goto here on the 770 tablet http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2006/osso-xterm/ Click “Homepage” You should end up here” http://770.fs-security.com/xterm/ “X Terminal Emulator for the Nokia 770” Click on Download and install "these packages" link Click on and select open on each file under “Parent Directory” three files total. Application manager will run. Click OK to install. Repeat this for each file. With osso-xterm being the last one installed. If becomeroot installed Ok above? Restart your tablet .

7. Once The tablet is up tap the programs menu Icon to the left, Scroll to Extras, now tap "X Terminal" , X Terminal will start, You will see” BusyBox v1.01 (Debian 3:1.01-1.osso12) Built-in shell (ash) Enter ‘help' for a list of built-in commands. / $ Or you will have this depending on which version you are running BusyBox v1.4.1 (2007-03-12 19:00:25 EET) Bult-in shell (ash) Enter ‘help' for a list of built-in commands. ~$ Type the following: cd The ~$ is already there so just type cd |

/$ cd After you hit the return key you will get this prompt ~ $ Type exactly this with same case for all text. ~$ cd MyDocs You will get this prompt after you hit the return key ~/MyDocs $ Now type: tar zxvf kernel_flasher.tgz The line should look like this ~ /MyDocs $ tar zxvf kernel_flasher.tgz Now hit “return” on the keyboard Several lines of text will scroll then the following prompt will appear again. ~/MyDocs $ Now type: tar zxf kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz The line should look like this ~/MyDocs $ tar zxf kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gzHy After a few seconds the following prompt will re-appear. ~/MyDocs $ |
|||||||||||
|
|||||||||||
~/MyDocs $ At this prompt type this exactly, do not leave out the period in the beginning and make sure the text case is exactly the same. (Such as 48MHz) The finished line should look like this: ~/MyDocs $ ./kernel_flasher/kernel_flash zImage-48MHz
You will be asked a yes or no question: type yes the hit return.
~/MyDocs $ will re-appear and you are now done. If anything else happens check your typing and try again.

Reboot: Power off Wait a few seconds, Power on: (I find you have to press the power key more than once to get it to power up right after you shut the tablet off. This was already the case and it also happens with my N800) After boot up install a normal RS-MMC none SDCH that is already know to work. Run file manager Check the NONE- SDHC card. It should work OK Insert a “Custom 8GB SDHC” card, it should also work. You should see the 8GB card appear on the screen, If not something went wrong somewhere and you should start over. A faster way to get the files on your Nokia 770 if you have a computer If you have a computer you can copy all the files to a normal 770 MMC card then place them in the directories listed above to get all the files faster. Copy the kernel file kernel-sdhc-48MHz-3.2006.49.tar.gz and kernel_flasher.gz to your current directory. My N770 name is CGNOKIA 770. So this is the first directory you see when you run file manager (your name will be different). When you down loaded the files you saved them to a none SDHC MMC card that worked or if you are connected to the site with the 770 then make note where you saved them. Now use file manager to copy the 2 files to what I will call the root directory ( I am not sure if this is correct in Linux but copy them to the first folder ) My “root folder is CGNokia 770” the files will now show up below the MMC card Icon on the right side of the file screen with any other file in the root directory. All folders will be at the top, then next will be the MMC card, then files. You can get the xterm and become-root files the same way and install them by double clicking the in file manager. Remember to install osso-xterm last of the three files under the parent directory This is my first attempt so if someone finds a problem or mistake please let me know so I can correct it. Craves1 |
