i was wondering. is there a way to get my files from my bricked n900 without reflashing it? my phone is still under warranty and im planning on claming the warranty from nokia. so i dont want to touch anything else because im a total noob. and i just got this phone 2 weeks ago. so i dont want to mess things up further. i just want to get the videos and photos of my son. because i have captured many priceless moments with him using this phone. any help would be appreciated. and yes i researched first (without luck) before making this thread thanks.

Yoiu could've done that if you had backupmenu installed...
Or, reflash the FIASCO image only, this shall keep your mass memory untouched.

I've had mine for 7 months, installed quite a lot (some from Devel), not done any major tweaks or X Term stuff and haven't needed to re-flash yet. *Touchwood*

don't forget that this phone is very user unfriendly, unless you are really used to n900 and linux generally. well, my unit wasn't bricked, but became really slow and unstable and i didn't mess with terminal at all, just installing apps from manager.. i gave up for few months, now it had it's own comeback and i'm using it mostly as car handheld - gps, gaming, music streaming, browser etc..

@supermikoman
Do as ammyt said, that's what I did. But if you'll be doing that I don't think you'll have to send it to Nokia, just complete the reflash AFTER getting your files.
@JamesBond@ge
I "bricked" mine in two weeks too. And that led me here. hehe

I got my N900 second hand, so it wasnt brand new, and it went completely crazy on the next day after purchase. In the shop they must have only flashed FIASCO because everything was left on the phone i.e. pics, contacts, recordings, everything... so then I didnt know what to do and somehow I ended up here on maemo.org and flashed it, and its been perfect ever since.
ps. I think I even read a thread about a man who bricked his N900 and then somehow flashed it and got it to work again.
(thats the N900 for ya 
)
Anyways, hope you get you pics and vids off it. Let us know if you succeed.

I'd say careless and clueless. In my case, at least. hehe
I was playing dare-"devel" with my phone, pushing on despite the warnings. hehe
