I've got an issue with my n900 and want to try and reinstall CSSU-Thumb to see if it will fix it. I went to change my battery, but was in a hurry. In my haste, I thought I'd shut the device down but really only turned the screen off. So when I removed the battery it killed a running system.
On reboot I have a number of issues:
*) What looks like some font issues with various glyphs not rendered. Sometimes there's default replacement fonts and sometimes (eg when searching for a contact) squares instead of text.
*) Conversations has lost a lot of its look and feel - a text message message is small black text on a white background with a thin black box. This could be theme corruption?
*) All my saved conversations are missing from the app. I wonder though if this is down to UI issues like the above, breaking the app. el.db (which I think contains them is of a decent size).
*) Web pages aren't rendering properly - again I think this is partly the fonts issues.
*) Otherwise it seems to be functioning no problem. All the above survived a reboot.
TMO is one of the worst affected sites. Also when I visit the CSSU-Thumb installation page from the device I just get an empty page and nothing happens. So...
Does this sound like something CSSU-Thumb reinstall will fix? If not any suggestions - I'd prefer to leave flashing as a last resort as it's my main phone, now. If so, is there a way to reinstall CSSU-Thumb using say apt-get or wget?
I've done a search but not found anything yet. I'll keep looking meantime.

maybe try a good few reboots first. i had a few weird symbols years ago and about 5 reboots fixed it.
worth a shot.

Sounds like you have some files missing. Reinstalling the theme might help. Or the fonts. You can try something like
On the other hand, you might have a file system corruption. There have been plethora cases like that discussed here (the forum, not the thread), just do a search.
Code:
root apt-get update apt-get install --reinstall hildon-theme-alpha (assuming that's what you are using, substitute as necessary)

Still need to learn exactly what's what on the device - not had time to get into it as much as I hoped so far. That may change now I've been forced to.
Thanks, again.

Working on the fs corruption now. I'll stop adding noise to this thread.

I fellowed this project from its begining then I got very busy and couldnt visit the forum for around 8 months , and as I see this project has been advanced so much
what I want to ask is this still need clean install as in begining? because I see nothing about it in OP
I mean by clean install : reflash ---> installing CSSU testing ---> installing CSSU-Thumb
Thanks in advance

You better do an upgrade after the reflash, be it via apt-get or Hildon Package Manager before proceed to CSSU. You should then install CSSU-thumb which pulls the necessary packages from CSSU-testing repository.
Right now you need to be careful, because CSSU-testing version is higher than Thumb version, which is held back to iron out some quirks in CSSU-testing.
