im not able to see partition with 27gb

i only able to see SD card..


when i reboot my device all times it show me "storage format unknown device"

my nokia N900 now only have 2gB of memory! i losse all of 32Gb.

i wrote on console

sudo sfdisk -l

and the partition one in the list, is FAT 32.

how i cant change it to ext 3??? or to any known partition??

TELL ME how i can fix this issue please

You can try reflashing. have you recently dropped the phone?

im try to install the latest firmware with Flasher but it didnt fix my issue

Flashing never will fix this issue!!!
The partition of the internal storage for MyDocs is not touched by firmware flashing.
if sfdisk -l lists the device /dev/mmcblk0, it is not broken.

You could:
1. If nothing important was on your MyDocs you might just reformat it through your Hildon File Manager. Advantages: Easy, fast, no reboot required, but this would wipe everything on it.
2. You could do the same from X-Terminal, but would need a reboot to get fully integrated into Maemo again.

3. If you had data on it, try to fix the file system. You need rootsh from extras installed to get it working via X-TerminalThere should be an error when you unmount the partition, because it is not mounted, but still do it to be on the safe side.

@michaaa62, would the same procedure (ie. step 3), fixes issue with 'input/output error' when I try to do a 'ls' on a directory.

also in 'Step 1', the built-in 'File Manager' does not see any directory that has a dot prefix, can I assume that formatting MyDocs will erase those directories as well?

It is if you flash the eMMC. The rest of what you said is correct though.

nothing happens didnt fix my problem!!!


i use exactly these commands!! to brick my internal memory
i use part of these instructions
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=66

sudo gainroot
cd /home/user
umount MyDocs
sfdisk -d > sf
vi sf # set 1st partition to 83
sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt
cp -a /home/* /mnt


NEXT I TRY WITH

i use a mixed commands from last web page and from this
http://sumoudou.org/%E7%9B%B8%E6%92%...ia%20N900.html


sudo gainroot
cd /home/user
umount MyDocs
sfdisk -d > sf
vi sf # set 1st partition to 83
sfdisk --force /dev/mmcblk0 < sf
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs
cd /home/
cp -r * /home/user/MyDocs


what is the mistake here?

how i can fix my internal memory storage? is in invalid format...

Check if you can use your ext3-partition, if you mount it somewhere else, maybe /mnt.
Your copy command will also kind of misbehave , because your recursively copy the content of /home/user/MyDocs again and again.

no, i cannot mount ext3 partition to anithing

Instead of forcing the new partition table, which might need a reboot, try to use , then create the file system.
