Re: N900 Memory card format unssupported
 

1) If I'm not mistaken, nitdroid is to be ideally installed on the microSD{HC} card, not in the eMMC.
2) Let me guess, windows? Also you have enabled mass storage mode? The one with 2MB free I'm guessing is your 27GB space which is literally used up. The other one might be /home|/opt which is not normally accessible or it might be linux swap which again should not be be normally accessible. Not that it matters that much anyway.

Well thank for your reply.
1) well I thought it was possible to install it on the N900 internal memory thats why...

2)yes am in windows but i have Ubuntu on dualboot too (if this may help)

yes I have enabled storage mode, I use to get N900 as name of the mass storage but here I have just disc amovible.

between, I installed Storage Usage And it only show my RootFS. Flashed it two times but nothing.

Help me please.

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

Step 6 of the tutorial went bad, really bad! Instead of a usable MyDocs partition, there was some sort of mistyping in fdisk, i think, which led to that tiny partition and some free unused space between it and the optfs-partitionPlease note the difference between 76-(end of first partition) and 884865(start of second partition)

Return to step 5 and delete the first partition and continue carefully from there.

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

I can't return to step 5. when I type p it says
-sh: p: not found

And if I start from step 1 it says at line 3

cp: cannot stat ' /home/user/MyDocs/util-linux_2.13.1.1-1_armel.deb' :No such file or directory

What I do? :(

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

Reboot it And try again..

Btw Currently I am doing the same Process with 2-3 guides..

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

Thank you for your help.

But what will happen IF I flash the whole EMMC??? I dont care about my data. I want erase ALL ALL (RootFS, EMMC...)

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

Sorry..., step 5 is in fdisk from util-linux package, but after deletion of the first partition and reboot some time ago, there is NO MyDocs content apart from what is maemo creating by default. Be aware that space is small and precious right now with a missing MyDocs partition.

BUT: /home/user/bin should still exist so starting with step 3 should be possible.

Re: N900 Memory card format unsupported
 

Well I dont know a lot about those command but I think I cant do step 3 without Fdisk installed first right???

anyways, after reboot here is what I get from step 3:
/bin/sh: home/user/bin/fdisk: not found.

Between how can delete that first partition???
