Re: memory card corrupted

I bet the problem you have is the sd card not making contact with the pins, take it out press the middle of the slider inwards so to bow it very slightly then reinsert making sure you get the little tabs under the lips when you push the slider in place.

I had this problem and also seen it on other devices too and it was the sd card itself not making proper contact, try it it will cost you nothing.

Incidently the mesage given was the same as you have, memory card corrupted.

There are two, perhaps three, methods to go on from here:
1. If your data is still on your computer and easily to restore on the phone, you could formate the emmc freshly and recopy all your stuff to it.

Code:

mkfs.vfat -n MyDocs /dev/mmcblk0p1

2. You could try to get your data back from the device if you have no backup available with testdisk from recovery-tools package

Code:

apt-get install recovery-tools

testdisk /dev/mmcblk0

3. This a dangerous option: You could rewrite the file systems backup header to the partition. This could really do some magic, but could also destroy it beyond recovery if something goes weird.

Code:

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=512 count=1 skip=6

You could find more on this slightly dangerous command here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=31

i'm at work at the moment i'll do backup to my number to the computer and tell u the result .

thankx for the great help

Try

Code:

dosfsck -a -t -w -v /dev/mmcblk0p1

hI michaaa62. i have tried all your suggestions above in this thread but without rsults. With this latter command I got stack: it is running for more than 15 minutes but nothing appears, nor even command prompt #. do you know if it means something good? Machine now seems to work very slow while still running this command. Please my debug file attached. Thanks in advanced. bTW, could not try testdisk because of font size. Have to reboot to apply changes but dont want to stop Xterminal

Re: memory card corrupted

I have the same problem. "Memory card corrupted". the emmc (mass memory) of the n900 is not recognized by N900 device, only by the windows. I tried with maemo flasher but with no results. "suitable USB drive not found." I have the last ovi pc suite but still don't install the n900 driver....i re-flashed the phone but no results, i forced the format in NTFS, FAT32,FAT, i even made it RAW (unpartitioned) but no results.

do someone have solution?? this phone makes me crazy! :(

what caracteristic of formatting have this mass memory? (fat, fat32 ntfs...hell knows)

Re: memory card corrupted
