what happened to me is that i did the apt-get pymaemo optify and then the same action told me to apply the apt-get autoremove, and now my
N-900 is not possible to turn on it only gives me the dots for 5 o 7 seconds and after that shut down completely; no matter how many times i try to turn it on its not possible anybody can give a clue what to do?

Im afraid a reflash is your only option there is a wiki on how to and multiple threads on the subject, i had to reflash mine a while back its really not as bad as it sounds:)

im sorry but i dont know how to help, other than a reflash would sort it out or if you wait for pr1.2 i think that will put everything back where it should be.
thats exactly why i havent used any of these scripts as i dont understand them enough to fix any problems,
but if ur device is working but just not perfect i would just wait for the new firmware, although learning how to reflash your n900 is something i would recomend everyone to do

This should almost fix all your problems. The OS may be a bit messed up, just a bit, but it'll be alot better than before.

Goodlucks.

Re: [Important] Rootfs deleting/relocating
 
can we keep sensible warnings next to any commands like these please?

Anyone trying commands like these really need to understand how to fix / reflash if they hit problems, and just advertising commands may influence others to try - especially before reading the whole thread.

my thoughts exactly.....some people arent meat to be hacking. just accept it....(oh and i am one of those people) i know my limits and have learned the whole flashing routine just in case. but i dont push my luck.
