the problem wasn't solved.....after that i have recovered my 32gb memory but my phone wasn't working.....only making and receiving calls....always was getting the msg 'operation disabled due to low memmory"(available memory for installable applications was only around 100mb)
i have flashed the device... the fiasco&emmc and after that my phone is working like before except that i have again device-memory card corrupted
if i enter mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /mnt i get this message "no such file or directory" and after mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk1p1 i get the same message
if i enter /dev/mmcblk0p1i get the message "device or resource busy" and after mkfs.vfat -F 32 /dev/mmcblk0p1 i get "mkfs.vfat: /dev/mmcblk0p1 contains a mounted file system"
i think maybe the problem is with the device partitioning .....but i don't know how to do that
any help?

i have managed to solve the problem
partitioning the flash has solved the problem
now everything is working ...it's like new

the problem it seems is not solved

if i switch off or reboot the phone then i get again memory card corrupted but after i type on xterminal rm -rf /home/user and reboot after that the memory ´comes back´ but on next reboot or power off the memory becames corrupted again

i'm not an expert so any sugestions?

I have this same problem, When i power on my N900 i get a notification message saying device storage format unsupported.

Note: I DONT have a memory card, this is the Internal Memory Card.

When i check (settings, memory) It says memory card corrupt 1.86GB available.
When i check FileManager, It says no files/folders.
I tried flashing the firmware and emmc and it worked everything was back. But when i restart my phone same notification.When run mount /home/user/MyDocs via X-Terminal, In Filemanager I can see N900 folder but in Settings/Memory is still says memory corrupt. When i restart phone everything does not work again. Typing the command that khristi80 posted rm -rf /home/user and then rebooting everything works again but after the next reboot back to the same problem

My N900 bricked after I installed Nitdroid and played with it a bit too much it seems. So I just reflashed with the "Latest Maemo 5 Global release for Nokia N900 " according ot the guide on the wiki. Now I get "Low memory usage" + "Memory card corrupted" (aka internal memory, I removed my external micro SD card).
In /dev/mmc* I only have - "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk10p1". Any suggestions ? :X

EDIT:

When plugged as mass storage mode into a windows system - Windows says the drive has a unfamiliar file system and must be formated.

I had the same kinda thing...

Memory card not found yet PC can read it...

I have done almost all things... which on net...

Last resort: Flashed my n900


1. Downloaded (http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php)
• flasher-3.5.exe
(http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d....5_2.5.2.2.exe)
• RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
(http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N...ED_MR0_ARM.bin)
• RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin
(http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N...MC_MR0_ARM.bin)

2. I installed the "flasher-3.5.exe"
3. I then moved
"RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin"
"RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin"
To the directory where I installed the flasher (Default is C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5).
4. I then done a full backup of my N900 using the backup tool on the phone and moved all my stuff on to the memory card.
5. Ensure the battery is at least half full.
6. Unplug charger cable and switch off the device.
7. Open the Command Prompt (Start then Run or Windows Logo key + R) and type "cmd" then press Enter (this will open a black window).
8. Change the directory to the Flasher's path by typing in "cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5"
9. Hold the u key on the device keyboard and connect the USB cable at the same time.
10. Run the following command by typing:
"flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f"

After this completes

11. Run the following command by typing:
"flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R"

The flash will take around 1 minute after which the device will reboot.
The bright Nokia screen will come up on the screen with the USB icon on the top right followed by progression dots with yellow LED blinking for a few seconds
And you’re done. Welcome to the world on 1.2

Next now nokia can saw an corrupted memory card.

Then format it with nokia inbuilt formatting process.

thats it.. working fine now..

people having trouble with the internal memory , connect your n900 to pc , choose mass storage mode , use disk utility in ubuntu / chkdisk on windows to try and repair the file system or reflash the emmc vanilla image via flasher.

Quick question here (loosely related to this topic, didn't feel like starting up another one): Bought a 32GB microSD just now, the File Manager says it's not supported and long-pressing in the Manager to format it doesn't give me any sort of confirmation ever after long periods of waiting. Is this meant to be the case?

Also tried formatting on Windows via Disk Management & EASEUS Partition Manager. No luck there either, but both programs read the card as only having 30MB. I purchased it from a 3 Store, so I can be relatively assured as to its capacity. Did I just happen to get a dud?

Did you try formatting as fat32 or ntfs? If ntfs, try fat32 on either a pc or mac and give it another go.

hii,am using n900 from past 11 months ,but few days bak i came across a strage problem after conecting it to my pc,my memory i.e internal 32 gb memory has corrupted.then i imidiately took it to the nokia care they it for 2 days returned it to me by saying harddisk corrupted.can any one pls suggest me how to solve this prob.
