Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Hi There,

I loved my phone :), but after an unexpected freeze I have to re-flash it.

The problem is when I try to run the command "flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f", I get this error:

SU_PREPARE_DATA_BLOCK_REQ terminated with error code 3

I found this when I did sfdisk -c /dev/mmcblk0 1 83

/dev/mmcblk0: unrecognized partition table type

sfdisk: 1: no such a partition.

I have tried so many things so I think that I problem get worst.

Please Help!!

I am Using windows, and I am not very familiar with linux :confused:

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Did you repartition you eMMC or change the filesystem layout? If so state which link you followed into changing the eMMC layout.

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Try to get some output first of

Code:

sfdisk -V

then from

Code:

sfdisk -l

The option of the second command is a small 'L'. You must invoke the commands as root!

sfdisk: read error on /dev/mmcblk0 - cannot read sector 0
/dev/mmcblk0: unrecognized partition table type

sfdisk: no partition table present.
/home/user # sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 977024 cylinders, 4 heads, 16 sectors/track

Thank you very much for your help!! :)

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

That looks like its seriously borked, the eMMC chip. I'd check:

Code:

dmesg

for any useful information as to why eMMC is now unreadable.

Otherwise paste the output of your dmesg here.

(edit) the output of a working eMMC with 32GB microSDHC inserted should look something like this:

Code:

Nokia-N900:~# sfdisk -l

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Please install recovery-tools package and run testdisk to get some useful (hopefully) output there.

Do you have a faint vision of how your emmc was partitioned, before you faced that error?

Where do I can find the recovery-tools package?

I do not remember how it was partitioned, it was as it comes by default

Thanks!!

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

I have the rd mode activated, does it make difference??

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Another question, how can I exports the results from the x-terminal to post them here?? Sorry I am kind of new in this :o

Re: Memory Corrupt!! Help plz!!

Run your command, then left of the <CTRL> in the toolbar an arrow will appear, press it and mark the text you want to copy, go up to the menu bar and choose copy. Likewise you could paste in the terminal.

Here you will find recovery-tools package http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...tle5_armel.deb

Hi,

when I do dmesg, I get something like this

error -110 transferring data, sector 21, nr 3,card status 0x0

I wondering if there is a way to create the partitions again.

Thanks,
Randall
