Re: memory card corrupted
 

You need rootsh installed from extras repository to check the file system from X-TerminalThere might be an error after the umount command to unmount the partition, ...because it is not mounted. Please post any errors you get here.

Edit: If you are not familiar with the command line and do not want to learn anything new :( try this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=884265&postcount=4

when i enter umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
to the xterminal it says cannot umount /dev/mmcblk0p1: invalid argument

Re: memory card corrupted
 

That error is there if the partition is not mounted in the first place, but i wanted to be sure that it is not mounted, before trying to check the file system. Just go on with next line.

So i guess your file system is severely corrupt beyond a point of repair for fsck.

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. 2. You could try to get your data back from the device if you have no backup available with testdisk from recovery-tools package3. 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.You could find more on this slightly dangerous command here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=31
