Did you install nitdroid to external or internal memory card???
Please post the output of these commands to see what the install of nitdroid changedPlease post as much info as you know about which partition could be nitdroid and which could be maemo.Code:sudo gainroot sfdisk -l mount

Well, this looks bad, but you already did the right steps in creating your dd_rescue clone copy!
Please try testdisk on the mounted image on your PC and try to restore /home and /home/opt just to be sure to some save space to look for your data[dot-directories, mails, contacts etc.). You would mount it with (Is this a sudo or a su linux setup? Please add the necessary steps to become root.), but i never opened an image which contains more than one partitionWord of caution: Do not save anything from the Maemo /home to your PC's /home/YOU because it might mess things up, who knows!?)Code:mount -o loop dd_rescue-image-here /mnt
There might be a chance to recover the phone to its former state, but this seems to be risky and you should have good knowledge about how it was setup before to achieve it again.
Do you remember which Nitdroid-Install-HowTo you followed, if any? Did Nitdroid work for some time fine parrallel to Maemo? Do you remember how the emmc-setup should look? Did you at some time change the partition scheme of the emmc to customize the storage?
Testdisk has no time-line, so it finds more than one setup, if it was re-partitioned before.

Upon reboot to Maemo it just started looping endlessly. I got it to show verbose boot output and it stalled at:
"unable to chdir /home/user/" each time which led me to think that my memory had been formatted by NITdroid.
I tried everything to get it to boot but no joy so I have reflashed PR1.3 Global. It booted fine afterwards but all contacts etc. are missing now.
Also - if I go to the file manager and click on the N900 drive (the only one showing as my SD card is out at the moment) it simply pops up the message:
"Memory card format not supported"
Is there any way to recover the data now? I have done as little as possible to prevent overwriting - I'd appreciate some help ASAP as I really need to get this working again soon.
I do have a backup set on my PC from a few months ago, so the majority of contacts etc. will be in there, but the most recent backup which was on my SD card appears to have been corrupted by whatever caused this problem alas. I really don't want to lose all of my recent messages, emails, calendar entries etc. so that's a last resort!
