Formatted N900 by mistake
To all the learned folk out there.
I have a N900 & I have a 32gb sd card installed as well. My disastrous mistake was instead of formatting my 32g/b SD card which was telling me it was corrupt. I mistakenly reformatted the phone SDC to fat 32 instead of reformatting SDD my 32g/b sd card. What are my options?? If I turn the phone off or my battery goes flat I will have a brick I am sure. Can anybody help please? Please explain in detail as I am a Senior Citizen on a Disability Pension Geoffs46@bigpond.net.au Kind Regards Geoff |

Not sure if this would work, but worth giving it a try ...
See if the phone is alive again after following the initial steps from this blog http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/03/ho...et-nokia-n900/ |
Re: Formatted N900 by mistake
you should go to download sections of this page above. look down and right you should see n 900 click there. enter your IMEI (you can find it under the battery). Then accept trhe agreement download the latest vanilia image and the latest fiasco-os image then install flasher
you can reflash your phone following this wiki http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware . This will erase all your data so you should use the back up app to back up your settings contacts emails and copy the back up of the device to a pc. (ph the phone is not working you cant my bad) |

No, it won't brick. You've lost your personal files, but nothing on the phone's internal memory(settings, apps, email and SMS) - The RootFS and OptFS are not accessable via USB.
