Hi, i recently bought a second hand N900. I am from Kenya. The device was at pr 1.2. While using the device for the first few days i noticed all the applications were being installed in the root partition. Since i wasnt familiar with N900 and Linux, i thought it was meant to be this way. After reading the forums and getting familiar with linux i realized the Opt partition was not visible at all although the fat32 is perfectly ok. I thought of updating the device to pr 1.3 but still the problem persists. When i try to flash the eMMC image with the latest vanilla image for pr 1.2 with Maemo Flasher, it stops midway displaying 'terminated with error code 1'. I then tried fsck on the Ext3 partition. It says superblock invalid and various other errors. I always press yes to repair any errors but it always ends with operation aborted. I am certain the Ext3 partition is corrupt. Please advice me how to bring it back. I can barely install 2 worthwhile applications. I am not able to use the full power of this really great device. I have formatted the 32gb to fat32 from the pc. I hope i havent messed up to the point of no return. Please help. Thanx
