First off - a big THANK YOU to the SHR developers for getting the new release out.
I thought I'd share with others how I do a backup before doing any upgrades. I know there's a utility someone else wrote that can do some of these things; I've just never tried it since I already had something else working. This script will -create a backup directory on your (linux) PC -create a flashable backup image -create a flashable backup kernel -create a backup filesystem on your PC of the contents of your Neo's filesystem You do have to have mkfs.jffs2 on your phone to be able to do the part that creates a flashable backup image. Also, you'll need to have the usb network link set up to your phone with your phone's IP being 192.168.0.202. I created this script based on various posts by others to the support lists. ------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash backupdir=`date +%Y%m%d` cd $HOME mkdir $backupdir cd $backupdir ssh [email protected] 'mkdir /var/tmp/root' ssh [email protected] 'mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock6 /var/tmp/root' ssh [email protected] "mkfs.jffs2 -d /var/tmp/root -e 128 \ --pad --no-cleanmarkers -x lzo" | pv -W > rootfs.jffs2 mkdir filesystem cd filesystem ssh [email protected] "cd /var/tmp/root; tar cf - ." | tar xvf - cp boot/uImage-2.6.29-rc3 ../uImage.img ------------------------------------------------- Now you have an accessible copy of your current filesystem from which you can copy your customizations to the shiny new SHR image. Also, you can follow the online flashing instructions to reflash your backup image if you need to.
