Update

From QtMoko

Jump to: navigation, search

If you don't want to loose time flashing your neo and restoring backups of everything, you can update your QtMoko installation using standard debian process.

Contents

[edit] You will need

  • A working QtMoko installation
  • A working internet connection on your neo
  • A way to display a console (an ssh connection from computer is recommended)

[edit] Installation of packages

This step only need to be done once.

  • edit file /etc/apt/sources.list and add the line
deb http://qtmoko.meurisse.org /
  • run apt-get update
  • run apt-get install qtmoko
  • If you installed QtMoko on the nand of your phone, run apt-get install qtmoko-kernel-nand. This package will flash the new kernel on your phone when updated.

[edit] Updates

Updating your phone is now as simple as:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

Don't forget to reboot your phone

[edit] Notes

The packaging is still a work in progress. Don't forget to backup your phone before any update.

[edit] Update from v14 to v15

You need to edit manually files /etc/fb.modes and /etc/init.d/qpe.sh. They are available at [1] and [2]
