Data still there after reflash
 

hi, i recently reflashed my n900.

and what i found was that : the music and pictures and videos and contacts i had in there, were still in there after reflashing.

and also about an hour after reflashing, the rootsf has 25mb left, which leads me to believe that some old stuff were left in there after reflash.


is it normal that it does that?

thanks

Re: Data still there after reflash
 

For your data to remain is normal with the current firmware flash.

To clear the phone you will need to flash with the EMMC image first to blank all data, then flash again with the latest firmware.

hi, thanks for your reply.

what about the stuff in rootsf? should they be there after reflash too?

or do i have to flash with the EMMC image to clear that?

thanks

rootfs is flashed with fiasco (normal reflash), emmc clears the 2gb /opt, /home/user/MyDocs etc folders.

so rootfs is always cleaned if firmware is flashed.

hi, thanks for your reply.

so the 2xxmb rootsf space is actually taken up in 2days@@?
