Hello all,

Bought a N900 finally the Christmas of 2010, and the last three months have been the time of my life. Experimented, tinkered, built a few widgets and have been in absolute awe of the power Nokia had* released with this phone. For the only downside of a heavier piece in the pocket, this phone offers me the flexibility to be on top of my world (eg. FCamera that takes HDR pics, or controlling my TV with N900 as remote, edit word docs on the go etc) Many credits to the amazing community here.

I stayed away from Nitdroid all these days, but finally managed to get some time to sit down and try manual installation. I was following one of the posts on the forum and it mentioned
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
rm -rf *
before installing the .deb file.

While I stopped to think twice the role of "rm -rf * ", I expected a "yes" "no" confirmation. Unfortunately, there wasnt and I ended up deleting everything.

Now, the phone doesnt startup properly, the icons are gone, the text is gone, the colours are gone, and the phone is a mess.

I SCREWED MY BEAUTY MY PRECIOUS

QUESTION:

1. Will reflashing the EMMC and kernel bring back the N900 to the original place? Or do I need to take this to Nokia service center
2. Is there anyway I can still retreive the photos collection I have inside?
3. Have I screwed up beyond redemption?


Please help!!!
