Hi guys,
I'm really new to N810 and i don't know much about HW device.
My OS is currently old-version, Chinook. And I want to upgrade it to
Diablo. If i upgrade OS by using flasher provided by Nokia, the content
in the 'internal memory card' is also going to be formatted or deleted?
Thanks in advance,
JH

If you mean the actual removable card, no it won't be deleted (and you can remove it anyway while you flash).

If you mean the Device Memory, it will be deleted. First do a backup in Settings>>Backup/Restore and you'll be good to go.

Thanks for the quick reply GeraldKo
Actually, i didn't really use actual removable card, such as SD. What i meant by 'internal memory card' is the entry that can be seen via File Manager(i guess, the one that had already been installed internally when manufactured?)
My problem is that i cannot use the Backup thing. My friend tried to install some package through 'apt-get' but after he did that, system is keeping rebooted ever and ever... Specifically, after my desktop is shown, OS just becomes freezed in 5 seconds and tried to restart again and again. I guess, after he installed that, some important system libraries had been deleted so that system can't go on.
I have been using N810 to collect some data for our experiments, and stored those data in 'internal memory card' which can be seen via File Manager.
So i was hoping by upgrading the OS i can manage to get over this problem without deleting my precious data.
Thanks,
Lim

Based of what you said the information will be safe on that card.
