Anyway, changing the user's .profile shoud not prevent the device from booting correctly. I would suggest to file a bug report. (The device is still too much focussed on the single user account, I think.)

Which brings an interesting point - is it possible to backup the whole eMMC so that you can restore everything? Would be a useful way to backup/restore things like ROMS and Music.

Install ssh via application manager.
From a (linux) PC run:
This should execute the command without spawning a login shell (a.k.a. without sourcing .profile). If this fails then you can always try to set the root password (I believe that openssh asks for the root password when it is installed) and connect as root:Code:ssh user@n900 "mv .profile .profile.no"
Code:ssh root@n900

dd if =/dev/your_emmc_partition of=emmc_backup.img
store the img somewhere ( but not in the same partition),
eventually emmc_backup.img caould also be compressed
to save space.
To restore
umount /dev/your_emmc_partition
dd if=emmc_backup.img of= /dev/your_emmc_partition
You need to be root to do this.
