N900 acting weird
 
It started with an error in Transmission. Ran fsck. Tablet rebooted before completing it. But after restart everything went black, no backgound, no icons. Only blocks in place of letters (situation A) .

Next I flashed using flasher 3.5. OS flashed fine. But EMMC image doesnt work, both in Windows and Linux. After flashing everything almost comes back to normal, except these errors keeps coming up

"Web closed"
"Camera closed"
"Device memory not supported" etc

But if I restart everything goes back to situation A. So after multiple flashes decided to repartition by giving 2Gb for MyDocs and 27Gb for installation. That somehow worked. Everything came back to normal, almost. Images from the Camera was saved on microSD. I cant partition it to default.

That was weeks ago. Everything was OK. But yesterday when I just restarted the Call Log and Conversation got cleared. I restarted again but another error came up

"Camera closed"

Then it kept on restarting. I had to remove the battery.
I flashed again (EMMC still not working). Flashing kinda solved it. But I cant access Internal memory ("Memory unsupported") and cant even INSTALL rootsh. It says there 4Mb left to install apps

Any ideas?? Is there any other way for root access?

Did you check the checksum of downloaded image?

Maybe it is corrupted?

Did you seen any errors during flashing?

The OS image flashed fine. No errors
Cant flash EMMC image.
On Windows :

"Booting device into flash mode."
"Suitable USB device not found, waiting"

On Linux, it starts but stops suddenly with an error

I did checksum on both files; no issues

Blocks in place of letters is indicative of corrupt /home /opt filesystem.
The most common reason would be unexpected shutdown, and the easiest/fastest repair is flashing emmc.

In what way does emmc flashing fail?
