Desolder the NAND, find a NAND reader and fix that file. In plain words, no.

No.

OK... Do you think reflashing the kernel would change this file? If yes, what file should I download and what should I do? I searched a lot, didn't get what I needed...

Also, if not, will reflashing rootfs help? If I do that, I'll lose all the apps... Right?

Can I somehow back up some data before I do that?

No,you could have made a backup, before you changed a systemfile, and that backup would have automaticly reinstalled your installed programs, but that was only before you couldn't boot your device.

At this point you just have to reinstall manually. See it as a good thing. You probably will not install as many programs as you have on it now.

Sorry that I can't help you.

Before reflashing, you could try the rescue initrd image that the MeeGo kernel provides, then you could possibly mount ubi:rootfs somewhere and edit the file.

http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/rescueinitrd/
Download both files then...
Code:
flasher-3.5 -k vmlinuz-2.6.33.3-11.2-n900 -n initrd.img-rescue-2.6.33.3-11.2-n900 -l -b"rootdelay=1 root=/dev/ram0"
To mount the ubifs image, you could
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt
mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt
Not sure if the kernel has an ubifs module compiled in though, I'll check the source.
You might need to modprobe ubi, the module's compiled in the kernel though.

Install BackupMenu, install SSH server, setup USB networking. Next time you run into a problem you could go into BackupMenu and startup ssh server then plug N900 into computer via usb and ssh into N900 to try and sort out any problems. This has saved me loads of hassle.

Isn't SmartReflex, or at least the VDD2 portion of it, broken in PR1.2 in any case?

Thanks for all the help guys... By the way... I don't know why I did this arora... I had learned this lesson long time ago, back when I was a GNU/Linux noob... And now, like a stupid guy, I repeated the same mistake again...

Anyway, Imma reflash it... Thanks guys.
