Well, for now seems ok, but, I'm not an expert (I just proved it), so I will do what you're saying.

Two questions:
-where can I find the internal backup made from N900?

-is this the procedure? http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...MC_in_the_N900 ---> http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...ftware_Updater

Just restore communication and contact settings

thanks for the tips

(by the way my N900 is totally fine now, I've reinstalled almost anything, CSSU and Power Kernel too, but I'm going anyway to reflash as you say)
