Wait to see if anybody else can provide you with a solution without reflash, else....... that's the only way to go..........
Can anyone help me..
When my n900 boots up it appears to be in read-only mode mode as new text messages and emails wont save and the desktop is in weird colours..
If I run fsck from the backupmenu is says /dev/mmcblk02p2: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY
If I try to do a backup with backupmenu it says that root cant be mounted
Is there another way of fsck /dev/mmcblk02p2 or is the only way to get this working again is to reflash? If that is the case is there any way of manually backing everything up such a conversations and phonebook...

Thanks n900ak and raaj13. I will try to make a backup first before I try fsck manually.

Backupmenu (option w) can let you mount your optfs from another device via usb; from there you can fsck it or format it without need to reflash emmc. I have done it several times.

Hi debernadis,
I think that is only for the MyDocs partition as fsck comes back clean with this.

debernadis did not ask you to fsck from the device, but from a PC.
He did suggest to you to export the partitions read/write from multiboot boot screen (you need to install it and settings for your kernel as well, also boot with keyboard slid out) to an external PC running some Linux- or Gparted-Live-CD. You might check optfs file system in any terminal application or gparted from the PC.

Ah, I missed /dev/sdb2 out of the list. Thanks debernadis
The partition is now sorted.
However, I think its going to have to reflash the phone. It keeps rebooting randomly after about 2 minutes.
