I just tried to install nitdroid with the auto installer and there was an error while formating the sd card.
Now my N900 is not botting up anymore
The Led is just glowing white and the nokia logo is displayed.
What to do now ? :/ I need my phone later

//edit : My phone also stuck at "formatting /dev/mmcblklpl (ext3)..." when installing nitdroid.

uh oh. I've not heard of this happening to people.

You could open the keyboard while booting and try to force it to use Maemo. I think that's 0 during bootmenu.

Unless I've misunderstood what the problem is.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...a_FIASCO_image

That should get you started. I think. It's been many moons since I've reflashed, so be careful and read up on it before you take my advice.

Edit: I recommend you look through the whole reflashing wiki page. You may also want to wait and see if someone more knowledgeable than me shows up.

THEN TYPE "nitdroid"**


*THIS IS FOR SD, NOT EMMC*
*WORKS PROPERLY*

If you want to back up your previous apps, refer to
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=84

1)http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=315.0 <---- download 0.0.8 version

2)copy the file to emmc via mass storage mode

3)disconnect from mass storage

4) open xterm

sudo gainroot
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb

some have issues with the tar file
"tar: invalid tar magic"
use this as 4th step

open xterm

sudo gainroot
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk1p2
mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
cd /and
bunzip2 /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar.bz2
tar xvf /home/user/MyDocs/NitDroid-0.0.8-Popov.tar
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/.nitdroid/nitdroid-kernel-2.6.28-06_final1_armel.deb
