HI,

I've got a N900 that has a faulty USB port that im going to get repaired however i have 8GB of data that i haven't backed up in 2 months(shoot me i know ).

Anyways I can charge the battery independently but im having issues downloading any applications as the phone doesn't see any catalogues/i can't add catalogues. Wireless still works.

Is their a way i can dump the contents through some command or browse from it on a pc to get or the data. I really don't want to do it through bluetooth as it will be excruciatingly painful/slow.

Cheers

You can install an SSH server and / or client on the phone and your computer and transfer files via SCP / SFTP, though it's still way slower than the USB cable.

My advice - Fastest way is to get a card reader for your computer and use a microSD card.

If you can install a SSH server, you can use something like WinSCP to copy the files over WiFi (or even 3G)

Backupmenu is the best and easiest way to back up everything. You should have an MMC for maximum security, but you don't need a USB.

ssh is the key, but I would recommend rsync for backup, if Windows supports it. The good things of rsync are that it compresses the data that are transferred and that after the initial backup, only the deltas (changes) are sent.

Even the old charger and everything works. Does this mean that the battery has a super major important part to how this phone operates or something?

Can you clarify?

Old N900 with old battery and old charger = no work?
Old N900 with new battery and old charger = work?
