I have come down to about 2 apps I've installed and used the last few days.

First, I installed Transmission with no problems and used it to download a file or two. But a couple of days ago, there was an update and I decided to install the update.

Later on, I installed DrNoksnes, zeemote, and wiicontrol to play some games. I tried playing with just the hardware keyboard on the N900 and worked out fine. The next day, I took out my wiimote and played around with wiicontrol, but was unsuccessful.

Now every time I try to save a file or delete a file through Bittorrent or on the N900 File Manager, I get an error with a message stating "Read Only"

Do you guys think it is the update on Transmission or perhaps wiicontrol? Should I reflash my phone?

Thanks in advance.

My thought is that somehow you have gotten a file system mounted read only - have you tried a reboot?
