N900 Internal Memory Corrupted by Mac. Please Help
 
1 Attachment(s)
I was trying to format my memory card using my mac's disk utility tool when I accidentally hit the device instead and cleared it into FAT. Now my device doesn't show up in the File manager and I can't install anything! I switched over to my PC to try and fix it.

I used flasher-3.5 with the newest NA variant. It only got rid of the applications and settings I had set up when it was working.

I tried clearing the internal memory but all I ended up getting was this (refer to HELP.jpg) It keeps telling me that there is no "suitable device" despite my direct following of the steps on that "update your firmware" site. I tried everything from switching USB slots to giving it a full charge. Hasn't worked. I would appreciate if someone could give me a hand with this.

Finally... to the biggest issue of all... The device has been formatted by disk utility. I don't know if this and the problem stated directly above are related but this poses the biggest issue for me. Where did my "Device" go and how can I get it back.

I got my card working but that has led to so many more problem.

If anyone knows the solution, please let me know.

Thanks in advance

P.S
NSU isn't recognizing it so updater won't cut it

@owest please show us the result of the following running under xterminal:

Code:

sudo sfdisk -l
@Man_Utd_4Ever you might be able to fix it but use it at your own risk:

Code:

sudo umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
sudo fsck.vfat -f /dev/mmcblk0p1

reboot afterward and tell us the result

It can happen by installing some suspicious applications from well known place ;). The answer above is your option. If not, re-flash it.
