No recent calls list and sms-inbox full
 
Dear all,

Since a few days, my N900 doesn't receive sms's anymore, the recent calls list is (and stays) empty and the (shutdown?) menu that used to have a "offline" option doesn't have that anymore.

I have flashed both the rootfs and eMMC, but that didn't have any effect (for as far as my problem is concerned).

On internet I found a similar problem here and here, but the solutions didn't work for me. One peculiar thing came up, though: if I run

Code:

df -h
... I get no filesystems, only

Code:

Filesystem      Size  Used  Available Use%  Mounted on
Can anybody help me out, and tell me how to get my N900 up and running again? Thanks in advance.

May be your file systems got corrupted. Do you have rootsh from extras installed??? If so try the following from within X-Terminal
Code:

sudo gainroot
sfdisk -l
mount

Hi michaaa62, thanks for your reply. I get the following output:

Code:

/home/user # sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 32768 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

  Device Boot Start    End  #cyls    #blocks  Id  System
/dev/mmcblk0p1          1  884864  884864  28315648    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/mmcblk0p2    884865  950400  65536    2097152  83  Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3    950401  974976  24576    786432  82  Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/mmcblk0p4          0      -      0          0    0  Empty
/home/user # mount
/home/user #

... that is: no output for mount

Try if the following runs at all, and if it changes anything
Code:

sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p2
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount -a

Please post errors here

fsck says that mmcblk0p2 is mounted, and warns before running e2fsck "on a mounted filesystem"; mmcblk0p2 seems not to be mounted, though, and mount -a replies with mount: mounting rootfs on / failed: Invalid argument.

Re: No recent calls list and sms-inbox full
 
Lets try
Code:

cat /etc/mtab
cat /etc/fstab


rdv 2011-01-26 11:27

Re: No recent calls list and sms-inbox full
 
mtab is empty, fstab is:

Code:

# autogenerated
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,noexec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0133,rodir 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0

Re: No recent calls list and sms-inbox full
 
Before going on: Do you still have the FIASCO and the EMMC images, which you flashed with. If so, did you check the images for correctness using the md5sum, that are also available on the download pages. Those images may give you untrackable problems if corrupted during download.
If these are really proven correctly, try the following dangerous steps:
Code:

sudo gainroot
sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 2 0
reboot

After the reboot try to check the filesystem of /dev/mmcblk0p2
Code:

sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p2

If this runs without further errors, change the type of the partition back
Code:

sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 2 83
and reboot.

Good luck!

That didn't turn out too well, my device doesn't boot up anymore. That is, I see the shaking hands, the dots-animation, and then it stops, and the screen goes black.

Is this really PR1.3 you were flashing to the phone?
Try to take out the battery and wait a minute, then restart the phone. Your battery should be decently charged to avoid errors by low battery
