2 years later

I'm an idiot.

So yeah, I did this is Xterm as user.

I no longer have an option to boot from MMC1 and if I boot from flash none of my applications are there.

I have an N800 by the way.

What happened?

Crap. The
component of the code deletes everything (including subdirectories) in your root directory.

It's wrapped in a roll of the dice ie.
which in a 1 in 6 chance executes the former component or else it echoes back the last bit of code ie. "You live".

I hope you've backed up .

Nope, I didn't have a backup.

Booting from my external memory card was my backup and even my flash memory is gone as well.

And I was in such a good mood.

I'm not even able to boot from my card anymore.

Wow.

All of my custom scripts, contacts, passwords, graphics and files are all gone.

I might as well just throw this thing away now.

Permission to swear excessively?

Don't turn your device on, you *should* be able to recover your files of the flash card.

Okay. First off, sorry, sorry.

I'm a little frazzled at the moment, I hope you can understand.

Anyway, I've been booting from internal memory (MMC2) not external.

When the device turns on, it does take me to the boot menu option, but when choosing MMC2, it just resets.

It doesn't even bother to try and load anything from what it looks like.

My MMC2 card has 1 gig EXT 2 and the rest is FAT 32 I believe.

There's no need to apologise! I can understand your state of mind.

When something is deleted, (I think) what normally happens is that the file doesn't actually get physically wiped, just the pointer to that file in the file allocation table. So if you try using the device with the card in, what can happen is your deleted files get overwritten, and can no longer be recovered. That's why I said don't turn your device on.

Anyway, I once formatted my brother's 1TB hard drive with all his TV shows, movies, and other videos , and I managed to recover it so all is not lost.

Do you have a linux PC? The (free) tools I used were all on Linux, otherwise I can point you to some Windows software, but you'll be flying solo a little.

I have a Linux boot CD somewhere that I can use for my Windows XP computer.

It will take some time to locate it though.

Anyway, I hope you're correct on recovering everything back.

I was using a little over 900 megs on my EXT 2 part of the card.

This really hurts.
