How to format N900 WITHOUT flashing?
 
I would like to format my N900, but I cannot use USB cable, because USB port fell off. Is there any other way?

Thank you,
Miha

Install Backupmenu and acquire a fresh backup from a recently flashed phone from Robbiethe1st's website. Restore that backup and you're ready to go

Ohhh thank you very much!

And what should I "restore"? Those two files:

Is this pure PR1.3?

Put them to your phone memory to systemBackups folder. If there's no such folder create it. Then boot to Backupmenu and restore the backups. If I remember correctly it's pure PR1.3 with Backupmenu installed.

Make sure you have no other kernel-installed then. BM doesn't backup/restore the kernel area. If you use backups with other kernel device refuses to boot.

So first make sure you have default kernel, then proceed with BM.
