Reflashing the firmware help
 

I think im going to reflash my N900s firmware
The web browser is completely screwed, it wont load any page & i've tried everything i can find, but to no avail

The thing is i dont want to lose all my apps, setting, pics, etc i have on the phone

Is there a way of doing a backup of things before i reflash so i can put them back on the phone?

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

have you considered reading the (f) manual?!?

won't answer to you because this question shouldn't be asked at the first place. the information is out there....

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

yes you can do a backup its in the menu.
theres a wikki page on how to flash, google is your friend

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

im only asking a question cause i wanted users help & experiences :-s

manuals are all well & good but i'd rather check with people who have experience as i dont wanna mess it up

thanks to anyone who posts actual helpful answers & not time wasting derogatory comments

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

Your being a bit rough on the guy, after all this is indeed a help forum.

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

blah blah, explanations, explanations.....

you just didn't manage to open the manual?

what user experience do you need? if manual says that xx, yy and zz will be backupped, how does the situation change with peoples experiences??

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

this isn't a help forum. this is application forum btw....

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

well, per requests here you go:

open file manager with your device
go to path:
1. n900 -> documents -> user guides -> choose your language and tap it.

2. scroll a bit, there is this cryptic "Back up and restore data" -title

3. ....


and the hardest part: maemo wiki

Wata up oss did you get kicked outa bed too early lol.

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

i am not being a jerk. the guy didn't even read the manual. he just spent 20 seconds of his time to write the post and then he just waits until someone spoonfeeds him and changes diapers afterwards.

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

corrected and problem bolded

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

Oss your well out of line here and you know it ! so please stop digging a deeper hole because rude comments are not acceptable ok.

Re: Reflashing the firmware help
 

"hi, i read the manual for backup things and I was wondering that how well are the application settings kept when backupped and reflashed? are my pictures and notebook entries safe? what about conboy?"

"what about losing all stuff at the big n900 partition? doesn't reflash empty it completely?"

"can I get installed apps reinstalled after reflash from backup?"

I would have answered to those questions without a problem.
