Hello,
maybe you should try to reflash the device to reset everything:
(rootfs and emmc image)

Hi.
Before reflashing, what about trying this?
sudo gainroot
umount /home/user/MyDocs
fsck -a /home/user/MyDocs

The filesystem probably has errors and has kicked in read-only mode because of this. This is often caused by improperly removing the N900 from mass storage mode when the PC isn't finished with the device, random shutoffs/crashes, etc.
Connect it to PC in mass storage mode, right click the N900, properties, tools, then error-checking. Only need the default "automatically fix file system errors" checked.

to the xterminal it says acnnot umount /dev/mmcblk0p1: invalid argument
My N900 seems to have a problem with the memory....
I am unable to take photos or video, as i get the folling error;
'Memory not accessable. Unable to save content'
It is also the same for the browser, I cannot save photos etc, as I get the following error;
'Not allowed'
I tried installing a Micro SD card, so I could save to that and use the camera, but it is not showing up at all in the file manager, nor the camera options....
In Settings I have tried;
'Restore original settings'
'Clear device'
And I also tried reverting to a backup...all with no success.
All files I have on the memory arel still there, still accessable, and I have plenty space available....I just dont appear to be able to save anything new, from any source/using any app
Any suggestions?
If I cant get this fixed...its bye bye N900.
