OK I did this and all of the USB hacks but when I connect the USB and try to go to the internal memory card (the one with the cloned OS. PERFECT PARTITIONING), the computer just says "Insert a disk in drive I:". Before it said on my N800 "Internal memory card busy" or something but I managed to fix it (thanks fanoush) but I cannot fix this. Please offer your support peoples

That's what I did from the start. It also never mentions the error that I'm getting.

Yes, but not via flasher. You need to use mtd-utils. I did it few times. There is no simple way but you can use tools from initfs flasher. This is what I do:
When I like current stable system in flash (after clean reflashing and tweaking it a bit) I boot from mmc and do a backup
There is also optional sumtool command that optimizes the image a bit for faster mounting.Code:mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock4 /opt ./mkfs.jffs2 -r /opt -o /media/mmc1/rootfs.jffs2 -e 128 -l -n umount /opt
Code:sumtool -i rootfs.jffs2 -o rootfs.faster.jffs2 -e 128KiB -l -n
Is there some modification of this method that is still valid for the N8x0 tablets?
How do you mount a jffs2 image on a loop device?

here is mounting script that worked for me on Ubuntu PC
Code:
if [ `id -u` != 0 ] ; then
echo "run this as root"
exit
fi
if [ $# -lt 2 ] ; then
echo $0 image.jffs2 directory
exit
fi
LOOPDEV=`losetup -f`
losetup $LOOPDEV $1 #rootfs.jffs2
modprobe block2mtd block2mtd=$LOOPDEV,131072
modprobe jffs2
modprobe mtdblock
sleep 1
[ -d $2 ] || mkdir $2
mount -t jffs2 -o ro /dev/mtdblock0 $2
Let us know how it went :-)

I have slightly bigger ambitions than recovering files from a backup, however... I was hoping to be able to chroot into this image and run applications from within the image...
We'll see how it goes. Thanks so much for your help, guys!
