Have you installed CSSU on your system? And if I remember right there could be in the repository pc-connectivity-manager to install. Have to say your sentence before the last one sounds like you are speaking to servants or something. Intended?

What about looking here for flashing files
https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.p...28Fremantle.29
and for USB connectivity
for Windows you might need 'nokia connectivity drivers' and you should find them on the net
if you are using Linux then just connect

I have Windows 7 here only unfortunately... When I plug the device to pc, it automatically installs some drivers, but I don't see the device in the connected drives, so basically I have no access to it with explorer.

I am really new to Meamo, so I wrote that let's start with some questions, and if there are solutions and it works, I might continue later with some more questions. This forum is really my last hope...

Can you check from your device settings device and system info what version you have installed.

Those firmware files allow you to flash a fresh* install onto your device, it's all you need really.
Aside from hardware failures (especially the USB port, about which search the forum/wiki), this device is unbrickable if you have the flasher and the firmware.
The wiki** has a great guide here (and it even mentions Windows 7 so your other issue might be answered there).
For backing up existing installs the excellent BackupMenu will let you create images of your RootFS onto your MyDocs partition or SD Card.
*Ideally you'll want to start work of a fresh install to be certain there's nothing malicious on there from a previous owner.
**n900 users are so fortunate to have such a comprehensive wiki and this forum has nearly every question you could ask about it answered 5 times over
.I highly recommend you read through the beginner and power user topics on the wiki

Eg, like thor2 tool with command line can boot a windowsphone into mass storage mode and then we can use win32imager or any similar tool to dump full eMMC as img file which can be flashed back to the device to recover it. There is no need to do anything to the device in that case.

P.S. Although I have activated instant email notification, I receive no emails when you reply... So I just check manually, but in case I miss something, you can send me a pm (I hope I receive notification in that case)
I have several questions, since I have experience only in MeeGo and Sailfish but not in Meamo and other linux OSes.
My 1st and most important one. How can I backup/extract full ROM into flashable files which I can use to re-flash/recover in case a device bricks? Is there such an option for Meamo? Eg, does Nokia Infinity Best (BB5) or any other software have such option?
My 2nd question is about drivers. Is there any pc software or other drivers I need to install in order to be able to send and receive files via usb data cable? Eg photos, music, pdf books etc, anything, no system files for start.
Let's see if there are solutions for these questions and I might have some more questions in the future. Thank you in advance if anyone can help!
