Please move the .deb file to /home/user/MyDocs/.documents to find it in Hildon File Manager (HFM). Clicking here should now start HAM
Hi Michaaa62, the problem is in my HFM there is now files or folders. I managed to connect my phone through my simcard now and through HAM I managed to install Rootsh.
Where should I start now?

Thanx JonWW, I appreciate the input, but almost none of my programs are working, HFM shows no folders or files ... nothing.

sudo gainroot
sfdisk -l
If you have questions regarding the output, feel free to ask, but attach or copy'n'paste the full output of all commands.
I did the above, but since I use a different coputer to post, I can't copy and paste the output. What do I look for?

Do you have a backup of you contacts?
or
Do you still have
Code:
/home/user/.osso-abook
and
Code:
/home/user/.osso-abook-backup
this is where your contacts are.

Do you not have internet access from the phone? because you can copy and paste from XTerm.

If you have OpenSSH on your phone? you could use PuTTY on your PC to access the phone's command prompt, and copy and paste from there.

Hi JonWW

I have a backup at home, but I won't be back there for 3 weeks.

I only have the second one, not the first one

No internet doesn't work on the phone, Neither does the web browser. I don't know OpenSSH or PuTTy, usiong Windows 7.

Please try
Code:
sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
If no errors occur, try to mount it
Code:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
I did this, and had no troubles, terminal went through those code without any hickups, so I guess that's not the problem.
