Nokia N900 problems after flashing ( EMMC issues ) [ Not solved yet ]
 

Hello. I have flashed my Nokia N900 and after that, I noticed that I have "Total size" 455,8 MB !!! How could that be possible? What can I do about it ? Thanks !

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

455 mb ?? memory card? rootFS? Mydocs?

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

No memory card. It says that the phone has the total size only 455,8 MB.

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

assuming that you are talking about ur mass memory

if it is (and should be) just because you have not flashed your emmc and all your files are still there on ur mass memory

if you want to delete all those files (ur music videos etc.)just press and hold the mass memory( named N900 in your file manager) and format it and then you will get 32gb
keep all of ur important data before proceed

I have nothing in my File Manager. :/

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

This is when another problem appears. The lock code. I've tried 0000, 12345 , 54321, 00000 none of these work. I bought the phone second-hand, but the first owner said he never changed it. I will wait for other answers and if none of them will help, I will try to flash it once again.

I've tried again. The first flash went well ( flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f )
But when I tried the second one ( flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R ) It shows the 5 white dots and the second one is bigger. It is like this since 5 minutes. What should I do ?

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

it happened with me too!!! you amy have running xp(as i do )

and the bad news is i have not suceed as yet in flashing the emmc

someone sugested me use linux cd to flash emmc but i dont understand him! however i just formate emmc and worked for me

n your case i think you should somehow flash emmc

search in this site "can not flash emmc" or somthing like that there are too many topic for this problem.

also i would like to sugest you to change the topic of your thread by

" EMMC gone" or something like that you may get more good answer .

PS. If someone can help me out to find out the device lock code, here is my root : root:B9Vx2GwDczWvY:


I've got the code, I've tried to "Restore original sttings" but I still have the same issue ( With the low memory thing :( )

UPDATE: I have tried to flash it on Windows 7, at one of my friends. It didn't work.


PS. : Sorry for Double Post.

Try to flash emmc only.

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing ( EMMC issues ) [ Not solved yet ]
 

I've tried... :(

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing ( EMMC issues ) [ Not solved yet ]
 

I think flashing emmc will solve your problem.
read before doing anything

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware (look for- Flashing the eMMC in the N900)

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing ( EMMC issues ) [ Not solved yet ]
 

Please read again what I said... I CAN NOT flash the eMMC !

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

btw. image for rootfs is old. Please use the newest one (pr 1.3).

Rootfs
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.........

And I do not know what else should we guide here. Use power search and go flash guide step by step trough. Have you already tried flashing from linux live-cd? This place is full of threads about this kind of issues and people here are just echoing those same old hints what to do. Use search and read read read read and read.

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

@slender but I've already flashed the "COMBINED" successfully, I have troubles flashing the eMMC

Re: Nokia N900 problems after flashing
 

Dear. PLEASE use the newest one for rootfs also!

Read flash wiki. User power search and find hints on what might be problem and what to do. Prepare yourself to fact that your devices HW might be faulty.

Hi Friends,

I have a video tutorial for flashing the Nokia N900, hope these will help you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1zvRjL-2cM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O54KdLvTA2U

Also, I have just finished recording another video tutorial for flashing but this time it has voice narration to help even better. The video is still being encoded at the moment; once done I will upload as well. I'll also edit some of the wiki pages to include these video links.

Tips:

1. If you're flashing in a Microsoft-based Operating System, make sure that the user account that you used to log in is an Admin User Account (or enable the "Administrator" account). I tried flashing in Windows XP SP3, Windows Ultimate, and Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10...all of them worked.

2. Make sure that you have downloaded the latest image files.

3. As already mentioned by the others, back up your files before flashing because flashing is, in analogy, like re-formatting a hard drive.

Hope this helps. :)
