Is that so? After failing to do optification at first boot, will Maemo attempt it on second boot, again, instead of just leaving you with log about failure and no opt?
/Estel

Yes it will try once again. I flashed my broken n900 several times and it's works.

this why i try the method of use micro sd card as internal memory that dont need a flash lol

Re: N900: No eMMC and how to install Maemo to microSD

You can still edit mmc_id file but if you can't flash it's very dangerous.
Remember to disable nokia pc suite before flashing.

Re: N900: No eMMC and how to install Maemo to microSD

Re: N900: No eMMC and how to install Maemo to microSD

Well, will be a pest once again and ask you for the information of the commands in post #8 in this thread.
You are right now not capable of just try random commands in the hope of some kind of 'automagic'.

this the result of when i type that procedure commands

Re: N900: No eMMC and how to install Maemo to microSD

This is ridiculous!

I am asking for the information from a block of commands, but you keep diffusing the information spreading them over multple posts and randomly take commands without reading or understanding the output of the commands!
This is the last effort from my side!

Please attach the file debug.txt to your next post from this block of commands. You need rootsh installed for the last commands to work.

Code:

mount > debug.txt

df -h >> debug.txt

free >> debug.txt

sudo gainroot >> debug.txt

sfdisk -l >> debug.txt

Please, i ask you to use all of the commands to get a complete picture of the mess your N900 is in!
