[Help] eMMC has become Read-Only
 

Hi all, I have an issue where my internal memory from / to /MyDocs has become Read-Only. I can't move edit or delete anything or save new photos. Any help to retify would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Akira

connect your phone to PC and go Prperties->tools->check disk.
that if you are using windows. worked for me ;)

Yes, let us know what OS you are running on your lappy / desktop.

Chkdsk within Windows (DOS) will not clear up a Read Only FS, you will need to adjust the disk properties within the Disk Management Console, but if you are running Micro$haft Windoze I can walk you through that one ;)

can you post your current /etc/fstab file

fsck your partitions, and you'll be fine.
also, try to reboot, several times on your n900, don't worry, it'll get over it :)

Thanks all for your help, but the above didn't work :(
I'll have a go at connecting it to my PC. I'm running win7.

copy of my FSTAB file:

# autogenerated
rootfs / rootfs defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p1 /home/user/MyDocs vfat noauto,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29 999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=000,rodir 0 0
/dev/mmcblk0p2 /home ext3 rw,noatime,errors=continue,commit=1,data=writeback 0 0
/home/opt /opt none bind
/dev/mmcblk0p3 none swap sw 0 0

Then try to write a file to ~/MyDocs - for example by taking a photo.

Let us know.

Do you have rootsh from extras repository installed?
This is necessary to perform all of the steps, because they need root rights!

I went through it too after playing with h-e-n and this command is helped me:
root
mount -o remount,rw /home/user/MyDocs
