Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Hi There,

I loved my phone :), but after an unexpected freeze I have to re-flash it.

The problem is when I try to run the command "flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f", I get this error:

SU_PREPARE_DATA_BLOCK_REQ terminated with error code 3

I found this when I did sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 1 83

/dev/mmcblk0: unrecognized partition table type

sfdisk: 1: no such a partition.

I have tried so many things so I think that I problem get worst.

Please Help!!

I am Using windows, and I am not very familiar with linux :confused:

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Did you repartition you eMMC or change the filesystem layout? If so state which link you followed into changing the eMMC layout.

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Try to get some output first of

Code:

sfdisk -V

then from

Code:

sfdisk -l

The option of the second command is a small 'L'. You must invoke the commands as root!

Results:

/home/user # sfdisk -V
read: Input/output error

sfdisk: read error on /dev/mmcblk0 - cannot read sector 0
/dev/mmcblk0: unrecognized partition table type

sfdisk: no partition table present.
/home/user # sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track
read: Input/output error

sfdisk: read error on /dev/mmcblk0 - cannot read sector 0

Thanks!

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

That looks like its seriously borked, the eMMC chip. I'd check:

Code:

dmesg

for any useful information as to why eMMC is now unreadable.

Otherwise paste the output of your dmesg here.

(edit) the output of a working eMMC with 32GB microSDHC inserted should look something like this:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# sfdisk -l

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Please install recovery-tools package and run testdisk to get some useful (hopefully) output there.

Do you have a faint vision of how your emmc was partitioned, before you faced that error?

Where do I can find the recovery-tools package?

I do not remember how it was partitioned, it was as it comes by default

Thanks!!
