Hi. I just thought of a few other things.

Do you have a microsd card? You could just copy everything across to that as well with xterm.

Don't you have a connection that automatically connects to the internet? On mine, when I reboot it automatically connects to my wifi. And because I accepted on 'use 3g connection' (or something) when there's no wifi, the device will even connect to my 3g connection when required by modest or even MicroB I think. Maybe starting one of those programs from xterm will trigger a connection?

I think there is another way to get access to your emmc. Going off what retsaw said here when you flash the device into r&d mode you can access the emmc. The links are included in his post and you need a linux machine to flash the phone into r&d mode.

do you have power kernel installed ? or have mad developer installed ?
you can connect your n900 to the internet via usb .

edit /etc/network/interfaces

and add :

auto usb0
iface usb0 inet static
address 10.42.43.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.42.43.1

or change the above to match your system , these numbers are the default for ubuntu , when using network manager and using connection type "shared to other computers"

then do the following :
modprobe -r g_file_storage
modprobe g_nokia
ifup usb0

now your n900 would appear as a network device , if you are using ubuntu , it will automatically configure a new connection called auto usb0 , however if will fail to connect , solve that easily by editing the connection , and going to ipv4 tab and change the connection type to shared to other computers .

by default network manager will set your ip to 10.42.43.1

check your connection by pinging your n900 from your pc

ping 10.42.43.10

you should get replies.

now you can install filezilla on your pc and backup your files from your n900 .

if you want to connect the n900 to the internet , edit /etc/resolv.conf and add

nameserver 8.8.8.8

then check your connection by pinging google.com .

if you are using windows , you need to get a driver for the n900 to be used as a network devices , and change the ip addresses written above to match those used by windows .

Oh.. Yea ! mircosd!! i forgot that !

Thats a life saver..

Ok i found my micro sd..
NOw its not supported..

I need :

a Command for formatting it ?
a command to move my pics in my camera folder to my micro sd?

If you could help, i would be really happy :( ! pls!!

can you please post the output after you do

cat /proc/partitions

I don't have a microSD card yet, so haven't had to format one, maybe ivyking here can help you. The wiki requires you install a package which will be difficult for you.

One last thing, do you have Backupmenu installed? You can enable USB Mass Storage in that, and then copy across using it.

if you want to format your first partition on your sd card with a fat32 file system , as root do :

mkfs.vfat /dev/mmcblk1p1

to mount that partiton :

mkdir /media/sdcard
mount /dev/mmcblk1p1 /media/sdcard

to recursively copy all files and folders from MyDocs to the sdcard :

cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/* /media/sdcard/

Hi

Possible to change the headline so that the thread search could help other users in the future?

Bye
