My last N900 (out of 5 since 2010)has finally broken it's USB port.
I sat down, grounded everything including myself, and did the solder repair.
Booted up got a wonky degrading graphics after the desktop icons appeared, waited a few minutes, shut down out of the weird graphics using the top button, rebooted into bootmenu.
I try fsck from bootmenu, mmcblk0p2 & mmcblk0p1 no such file or directory, looks pretty hosed my friends.
The burning platform has finally collapsed under me, what do I do now?
I really hoped that there would be another platform to jump to at this point, I use LineageOS with microG for my tablet but it is a kludge at best with an Android flavored non GNU OS.
Seriously considering hunting down another N900.
What now guys??.....
