NITDroid Installation Tutorial for Nokia N9
First, download some needed files.
1. Dual-boot Kernel (filename: zImage.prxx). Save to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher.
2. NITDroid Archive (filename: nitdroid_n9_ics_alphaX.tar.bz). Save to your device (default: /home/user/MyDocs).
3. sillyboot bootloader (filename: sillyboot_2.tar.bz). Save to your device (default: /home/user/MyDocs).
Read and understand some conditions/pre-requisites/limitations.
1. Developer mode should be enabled. 2. Autolock (security code) should be disabled. 3. PIN Code request should be disabled.
4. Remember to back up important stuff!
Reminders: 1. N9 will be on "open mode"/ 2. May not work on SIM-locked devices.
SImply watch and follow the instructions/commands in this video. :)
Disable the "warranty void" warning message via Terminal command, as regular user (NOT root). You should see the output like so.
Remove all Chat/Email accounts by entering the Terminal commands like so (regular user, NOT root).
TIme to flash the dual-boot kernel into your N9. Make sure that the zImage.pxx is saved where your flasher files are located.
Default location of the flasher files is at C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher.
Tip: rename the main and eMMC images to something short.
Turn off the Nokia N9 to prepare for flashing.
Open the Flasher application and enter the flashing command like in the video.
Tip: you can start with flasher -i to check that your N9 is detected.
Next, install sillyboot (bootloader). There are some customized versions that you can also download (link in video).
Enter the command to install sillyboot. You should see something like so in Terminal.
Let's create a directory for NITDroid (mkdir /home/nitdroid). Do this as root (devel-su, then root password. Default is "rootme").
Lastly, enter the command to install the NITDroid Archive. You should see a long output (will take time).
You're done. Reboot the N9 after the last command completes. To start NITDroid, press the volume up button when prompted.
