no wonder its here may be where I went wrong during My 1st attempt via the site link I posted..I faced a similar struck and then I closed xterm and did it again..and the second time it went faster hmmm..

:(
I did it till here:

sfdisk --no-reread /dev/mmcblk0 < table

and rebooted My phone..and on rebooting now My phone does'nt display any image words nothing at all..its all white with little boxes wheres characters or numbers are supposed to be..and places where images are supposed to be is marked wid a lil x mark i.e no image..
Its gone now for sure I think..
I cant try or do sumthin..cz I probably won't be knowin which app is open or what am I typing :confused:

So Im gonna give it once again to Nokia care tomm..but could you guys tell Me what should I specifically tell em to do..so that they get it clearly :)

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

i know it's a bit late now but the reason you were getting that is that terminal was still in the ~ directory

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

I did that, now it restarted with settings page for region language time etc lyk when you install a new firmware or sumthing..but the same issue..its in all red "No Image" and (!) mark..its a horrible scene :(

I really really really apprecaite you guy's effort and time taken for My big problem created Myself..thnks alot for all your help!

I'll give it to em tommorow..and I'll get it back most probably on Sat..Friday their closed.

But the last help..What/how shoud I explain the problem to them?
:)

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

You are right, but that was a couple of posts ago. Should have been umount /mnt according to the last directions, which should have worked.

Well, seems the new /home is not mounted properly, so lots of stuff is not available for the rootfs basic system. Right now i am stumped, how to access the files like /etc/fstab to correct things.
But no need for nokia customer care as you could flash the firmware using fiasco-image to get a working phone and then apply the last steps to format the partition for MyDocs.

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

ohk I flashed it now :)

now were do I start? :)

thx for the interest ^_^

EDIT: now I chked the memory it says (device) memorycard corrupted and for the memory for installable applications is 1.28gb which seems normal to Me now..is it??

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

This is were you format /dev/mmcblk0p1 , because of the missing file system the memory card is noticed as corrupted.
First you have to install rootsh again. Then

Re: How to restore partitioned n900 emmc??!!
 

Just as I thought /mnt won't be recognized by fstab as a temporary /home partition... So what happened is the device can't see all the necessary images, fonts etc. under /home cause it wasn't mounted at all.
If I only saw that post I should have suggested to add a line in /usr/lib/genfstab.awk
and /etc/rc.d/rcS-late to add 2 lines
Oh well reflash did great anyways... But what's with the memory card corrupt? is it MyDocs? can you access the MyDocs partition now? or is it your external memory card?
