unit kept restarting (just NOKIA welcome screen and restart),
until it showed MALFUNCTION!.... (as stated few posts before).

please help.
i have some important data on unit.
and I need it for work.

Thanks!

Hi,
Only replying as no one else has yet, but you may have to reflash the firmware.
I'm no expert, and have not done this myself, but it should leave the data on the external memory, ie /MyDocs untouched.
Just dont reflash the eMMC as well, as this WILL wipe /MyDocs.
This is assuming thats the only place where your important data is.
Regs,

Re: malfunction device shutting down..!
 
try posting a few more details, what have you done since things started going wrong? have you installed anything new? and what is the sequence of events that lead to this message?

I saw this too on the boot screen after forced reboot during web-browsing when its overclocked to 950.

It doesnt seem to harm the device in any way nevertheless

This and other problems such as loop rebooting as far as the nokia splash screen I have experienced trying to remove al deep os rooted software such as power kernel, kismet, extra codecs, etc... as a matter of preparing for online upgrade to pr1.3.
Leaving out battery for a couple of minutes and flashing modus got accepted.
The ful pr1.3 rootfs image got rid of the mess.
