I was cloning my NIT last night and needed files from my wifes laptop, so I went to File Manager to see the share. File Manager would only show the "File Manager-loading" box for a few seconds, and then nothing. After a few minutes of futzing around, I decided to reflash and start again. I reflashed, installed Pidgin, rootsh, console tools, and a few others. Ran pb to make my partitions. Then went to get those files from my wifes laptop. And no File Manager. Same File Manager-loading and then nothing.

So I reflashed again.

Here's what I got-
N800, 8GB SDHC, fresh reflash of 43-7. Nothing else installed.

I installed console tools. Ran File Manager. Works fine.
I run PB. Deleted all listed partitions on the SDHC card.
Ran File Manager. I get the "File Manager-loading" message, then nothing.
I remove, via Application Manager, console tools.
Reboot
Run File Manager. Still broke.

At this point, all my skills know to do is reflash and not use console tools to clone to my SD card, which is fine. Since I have had this problem 3 times in a row, I am confident it is reproducible on another N800. I have to get mine up to usable status since it has become my primary computer after the tragic death of my tablet PC, but I'll be glad to answer any questions on my config I may have not answered so someone wo knows what they are doing can fix it.

Thanks

run pb, then close menu

run filemanager, is it still broken?

I have it in the script to disable filemanager during certain operations, if you crash out, it could leave filemanager in a bad state, run pb again to fix it.

I will look for a better solution to this problem
