Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

If I open the N900 file manager and using PuTTY on my PC I can
copy and past into PuTTY, I am able make my SD card appear with these commands in the N900 file manager

Code:

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present true

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open false

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-cover-open false

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-device-present true

and disappear with these commands

Code:

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-device-present false

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open true

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/internal-mmc-cover-open true

gconftool-2 -s -t bool /system/osso/af/mmc-device-present false

Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

You probably could do it by typing it in the device itself, also, you could make a thingy with QueenBeecon to that runs the commands when you tap on them.

1. Thanks a lot for thorough thinking.
2. Try to type it in X Terminal. Don't make people to install more additional software than necessary.
3. It could be saved into /usr/bin/microsdcard sh script so that instead of typing it over and over you would just execute this script(s).

Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

Nope, tried typing all that in, still doesnt see sd card! :confused:

Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

any solution in sight??. Took my phone to Nokia care centre but they wouldnt even look at it, there's no warranty for the the phone N900 in my country.

gosh!!!

Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

Same here. Tried all the gconf stuff, but still can't see the card :(.

Wikiwide i think you may have just opened up alot of doors!

Basically i was messing around with that key with gconftool. And i changed the value from true to false using :

Code:

 sudo gainroot



gconftool-2 --type Boolean /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open false

This set the value from True to False, you can check it via :

Code:

gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open

I set it to false, but the MMC is still not detected. ALTHOUGH the camera now responds to the shutter being opened and closed.

If you go :

Code:

gconftool-2 -a /system/osso/af

You'll find a list of Keys related to the back cover, camera and mmc. And their status will be displayed too!

IS IT POSSIBLE for anyone whos back cover works to test using the last code and display a status of the keys that are true and false? That would be really helpful, as that way we can enable/disable the right keys to truly fool the phone into thinking the back cover is on!

Thanks

Hi!
I do it but I've this message:

Quote:

/home/user # gconftool-2 --get /system/osso/af/mmc-cover-open true

Why I can't put it to false?

Can you help us please? :confused:

Hello, if somebody can help us, please :(?

Re: N900 not recognizing microSDHC cards. (Back cover open)

Topic died over a month ago, but I've got the same problem and I'm just wondering if someone could trick the device to think that the back cover is closed?
