Long story short, I will try. A series of trial and error involving my application manager not being able to install (or uninstall) anything has led me to a problem. Application manager is not my current problem. My problem is something I tried in my stress and curiosity after trying to get my phone to do as I wish...

I followed the steps in the website

http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/05/fi...error-on-n900/

which led to

"6. Type

mkdir opt"

This step was useless. I already had an opt directory.
So in a wisp of hoping my phone would magically refresh everything and maybe restart, i proceeded to root myself in and delete my opt directory.
Its almost bricked... most icons wont show. I cant run any process anymore or select most options after it starts up or it crashes.

You will need to reflash, not sure if you can backup your data first.

Good decision to follow such guide
cd /home (not sure if this part’s necessary, I don’t understand this all, but this is how I got it to work)
Even better to remove /home/opt (i.e. /opt).

Yes, it is bricked. Do a reflash.
