Ok, I got a NeoFreerunner this christmas, and I got it delivered with Android pre-installed, and ever since I got it I've been struggling to install SHR as OS onto the internal memory, WITHOUT SUCCESS. I have very little knowledge of programming. I just want to use the OpenMoko as my daily phone because I think it looks good and is a funny concept, and I hope to learn more about it with time.
BUT The installation guides I've been following seems to be made for people with more knowledge than me, and there are dozens of terms in the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_your_Neo_FreeRunner guides and http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SHR_User_Manual manuals that I don't understand. So I thought I should take it from the beginning so you can correct me where I'm doing wrong. ********* HOW TO INSTALL SHR ON A FRERUNNER WITH ANDROID ********* 1) For being able to install SHR on a Neo with Android you need: Hardware; phone, usb-cable, a computer with Ubuntu Software; Dfu-util, NEO-tools, U-boot (installed on my Neo atm.), a kernel-module and SHR-root filesystem The software can be found at the following places: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=dfu-util DFU-util : Wtf is intrepid, jaunty karmic, lucid? Am I supposed to understand that? I thought it was a program. http://users.on.net/~antisol/neotool NeoTool : Also not a program, just..... text? http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot U-boot : I already have it installed on my neo, so I dont need it again? http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/full-om-gta02.jffs2 SHR-root filesystem : Im taking the files from the "Testing line" instead of "Unstable", it's ok, right? http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin Kernel module : Only one file? AND, you need to Flash the Neo before anything can be done. This is done by first installing the DFU-utility software on a Linux computer, connect the Neo and doing the AUX-startup and also typing in the NEO-tools http://users.on.net/~antisol/neotool text somewhere? %-| Ok I think I'll stop here. I really want to succeed with this, because I love the Openmoko, but if I cant get a simple installation right I'll throw this phone into the garbage. In other words, I appreciate all help. Thanks!
