You can extract the rootfs from rootfs.bin using open source flasher with the -u flag followed by using unlzo.py and finally mounting the result on your PC. Then take the /bin from the flash image and paste it into your device...

Succesfully extracted rootfs.jffs2 from firmware image using unlzo.py from here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1043548
Mounted extracted file and then copied over /bin folder to N9's rootfs. Unfortunetly harmattan during the boot showed me some scary error screen, and now it just turns off.
Sooo off I go to do backup and reflash the device.
I've accidentally deleted /bin folder (instead of /mnt/bin) using rm -rf. Thankfully i have ubiboot and working SailfishOS. After the reboot Harmattan obviously hangs.
I'm not in the mood for a reflash right now, so is there a hope for my device? Or is there a kind soul to upload tarball with just /bin folder?
I'm aware there could be some differences in installed programs between devices.
