Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3
 

If you had actually read the wiki on Updating the tablet firmware you would have come across this section.

To hazard a guess at the windows command, I'd say:
If you only want kernel-power v42 then ONLY ENABLE TESTING, I have already explained this.
Each repository holds software, there may be different versions of the same software in each repo.
The higest version of kernel-power to be accepted to testing was v42, therefore you will only get v43+ if you enable the devel repository.

I didnt read the Wiki no. Wasnt aware there was one, but i guess thats my own fault for not looking around (rushing into it)

Anywho, thanks for the help but im unsure where to enter the above commands, do i need some software on my PC to do this?

EDIt i re-read my last post, what i ment was, what sofware that i put on my phone would have caused this?
Im unsure IF any devel software i would have put on it :S

Edit- Just flashed phone to go with a fresh start,. Took all the stuff off of it that i had on so i dont have any devel stuff on there.

Edit....Sorry

Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3
 

Happened again. After fiddling a lot with usb hostmode, mass storage mode doesn't work anymore.

Reflashed kernel-power ver.45, still no joy. Phone doesn't react at all when connecting the usb cable.

Flashed MohammedAG kernel-power ver.40 + hostmode, now mass storage works.
Transferring files...

Reflashed again kernel-power ver.45. Again, no mass storage mode.

Reflashed stock kernel pr1.3. Mass storage works.

And now... reflashed power-kernel v.45, and... mass storage works again!

[Of course, while doing all this mess, my optfs got corrupted. Thank you, Robbiethe1st with your backupmenu].

What's going on here?

EDIT: after a while, mass storage is again kaputt. Now trying to leave the phone without its battery for ten minutes. See what happens then.
EDIT2: Geez, that worked. So, there is a cure. Good.

With power-kernel ver.45, when usb mass storage doesn't work, and I connect the usb cable, dmesg outputs At the time I disconnect the usb cable, dmesg says .

Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3
 

back to square one i am now.

I did waht you said, i have not longer got the devel resporitory.

Reflashed my phone and put power kernel back on (not the devel one) - no mass storage again :(

Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3
 

Open a bug against kernel-power and work with the devs to resolve it, or reflash the Nokia kernel.

Re: N900 Will not work in Mass Storage after PR1.3
 

Another way I found to restore mass storage is briefly connect the power supply.

Just a quick note on this incase anyone is still having problems. I found a way to do it today just trying some random things while waiting on pc suite to download onto my wife's laptop.

So- close what windows you can ( I still had a browser window open anyway though), do a sudo gainroot in x-term, then do killall browserd. After this mass storage worked straight away.

I apologise if this is old news, but even if it is there are likely people who it may help to see this incase they need the help.

I'll try your browserd trick next time my mass storage runs amok, thanks. I've had results also leaving the n900 without its battery for 90 (!) (no less!) minutes.
