Re: emmc corrupt memory

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f

change kernel with
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin' --flash-only=kernel -f

Restore emmc with vanilla
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin' -f -R

plug n900 in usb mode and copy/paste entire partition (+hiden file from emmc) to pc

flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode

on xterm make: sudo gainroot; sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk0 > partition ; edit partition adn change mmcblk0p2 id to 76; sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < partition ; reboot the phone.

now:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

now the phone say memory format not supported
open xterm; sfdisk -d /dev/mmcblk0 > partition ; edit partition adn change mmcblk0p2 id to 83; sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < partition

now plug the phone in usb mode paste entire emmc from pc; reboot the phone;

and finaly the N900 works. if you want make:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin' -f -R

I hope to be as explicit and can be helpful

This command just dumps the partition table to the file 'partition'! :confused:

Quote:

sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0p2 76

This command just changes the type of the partition to be unknown! :confused:

What are you trying to do, because the two commands are useless if they are not in known context. Please describe the error you are facing and post some output from the terminal to show the errors you are facing.

The OS can't see the eMMC at all, so it definitely looks like a hardware failure.

Code:

sudo gainroot

lshal | grep volume

sfdisk -l
