This guide outlines the steps required to install NeoPwn v2 on to the internal EMMC memory card of the Nokia N900 rather than the suggested 4gb MicroSd.

The easiest way to do this is install openssh on your n900 and run the commands from a terminal on your pc or mac, this guide presumes that is what you are doing.

The guide to install NeoPwn v2 onto a MicroSd card can be found HERE

(Step 1) Install the following packages

apt-get install bash pymaemo-optify python2.5-qt4 python2.5-sip4 rootsh


(Step 2) Create a directory for the neopwn setup files

mkdir /home/user/neo


(Step 3) Copy files.tar.gz from your Pc/Mac to the setup folder

scp /files.tar.gz root@(Enter N900 IP):/homeuser/MyDocs/neo


(Step 4) Change to that directory

cd /home/user/neo/


(Step 5) Extract the NeoPwn setup files

tar -zxvf files.tar.gz


(Step 6) Copy the files to their required directories

cp neopwn /usr/bin/

cp neopwn.sh /usr/bin/

cp neopwn.png /usr/share/pixmaps/

cp neopwn.desktop /usr/share/applications/hildon/


(Step 7) Restart hildon-home

killall hildon-home


(Step 8) Setup the control panels User Interface

mkdir -p /opt/neopwn

tar zxvf control-panel-ui.tar.gz -C /opt/neopwn/


(Step 9) Install the kernel drivers

dpkg -i kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo40-wl1_armel.deb

dpkg -i kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo40-wl1_armel.deb


(Step 10) Flash the N900

dpkg -i kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo40-wl1_armel.deb

Accept the prompt on screen & reboot immediately

(Step 11) Backup everything on your Fat32 partition

mkdir ~/n900-backup

(cd /mnt && tar cpf - .) | (cd ~/n900-backup && tar xpf -)



(Step 12) Obtain and install FDisk (my preference use Gpart if you prefer and skip this)

mkdir -p /home/user/util-linux /home/user/bin

cd /home/user/util-linux

apt-get install wget

wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/u/util-linux/util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb

dpkg-deb -x util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb root

cp root/sbin/fdisk /home/user/bin/

cd ..

rm -rf util-linux



(Step 13) Unmount /home/user/MyDocs so it can be partitioned

umount /home/user/MyDocs


(Step 14) Run Fdisk

/home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

1. Type d (enter) and 1 (enter) to delete partition 1
2. Type n choose primary to recreate partition 1, make size 2 to 622721
3. Type n choose partition 4 and extended  and make size 622722 to 884865
4. Type n choose logical partition for NeoPwn, hit enter twice to use up rest of drive
5. Type t command to set type of partitions, set 1 and 5 to 76 (Unknown).
6. type w to write to disk

now reboot

(step 15) Restart FDisk

/home/user/bin/fdisk /dev/mmcblk0

Type t and change partition 1 to c (Fat32)


(Step 16) Format fat32 partition for /home/user/MyDocs

mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1



(Step 17) Format ext3 partition for NeoPwn files

mke2fs -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p5

Now Reboot

(Step 18) Restore /home/user/MyDocs content's we backed up earlier


mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt

Reboot


(Step 19) Edit neopwns conf.py file to reflect the mount


vi /opt/neopwn/control-panel-ui/etc/conf.py

Find this line -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p1 /.neopwn -o noatime
And change to -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p5 /.neopwn -o noatime

For those who aren't VI savvy press i to start editing, then press esc & type :wq enter to save and quit

(Step 20) Make a directory for NeoPwn to be mounted on

mkdir /.neopwn



(Step 21) Mount the new ext3 partition on the /.neopwn directory

mount -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p5 /.neopwn/ -o noatime



(Step 22) Transfer the w00t.tar.gz to the /.neopwn directory

scp /w00t.tar.gz root@(N900 IP Address):/.neopwn

It may take 20 minutes to transfer as the file is over 800mb


(Step 23) Extract the files

tar -zxvf w00t.tar.gz

Be warned mine took amost 3 hour's to extract!


(Step 24) synchronize (Run twice just to make sure)

sync




Any suggestions on how this can be improved are welcome.
