Hi Guys,

i cant believe my N9 has partially stopped functioning.

basically my battery died and once i charged and started it up my touch screen has stopped responding the device loads up and i receive calls and text but cannot do anything as when i touch the screen there is no response.

i have tried restarting million times!!!

So what i would like to do is back up my device using OVI suite.

if i plug in my N9 to laptop i get the option to choose the three :
sdk, mass storage or ovi but as i cant touch its no good as it just defaults to charging.

so i thought maybe i can change some config file in the N9 so when i plug in a usb the device auto connects in OVI mode.

so i installed flasher and on my linux laptop i started the process of flasher. to allow pone to be mounted to local machine.

then i mounted the three N9 partitions to /mnt/

going through the some configs i cam across usb-moded and usb-moded.ini

but i cant seem to get this to work can anyone help me out here please....

I don't know what configuration file to edit, but if you have developer mode on, you can ssh into the device, start vnc and then from there choose the usb mode.

That is a good idea - but i don't have it activated.
thanks qwazix.

damn i wish i had it activated. there is most likely a conf file for dev mode...

/etc/osso-af-init/gconf-dir/Meego/System/%gconf.xml

set ovi_suite to UsbMode

hi coderus:

this is the content of file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
<entry name="DeveloperMode" mtime="1341564435" type="string">
<stringvalue>true</stringvalue>
</entry>
</gconf>

how should the syntax look for adding usbmode to ovi_suite

my file:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="UsbMode" mtime="1381588171" type="string">
		<stringvalue>windows_network</stringvalue>
	</entry>
	<entry name="DeveloperMode" mtime="1380187170" type="string">
		<stringvalue>true</stringvalue>
	</entry>
</gconf>
so, your file should look like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<gconf>
	<entry name="UsbMode" mtime="1381588171" type="string">
		<stringvalue>ovi_suite</stringvalue>
	</entry>
	<entry name="DeveloperMode" mtime="1380187170" type="string">
		<stringvalue>true</stringvalue>
	</entry>
</gconf>

Sometimes bad chargers and/or charger cable also block touch events from the screen. I'm assuing that you have tried to use the device without charger cable connected too? If you have then reflash might do the trick.
