Hello,

Here is my problem.

settings->general->memory:

device:
(memory cards corrupted)

memory for installable applications
50.8MB available

So, there are no my 32GB...

In addition, when I get plugged my n900 to PC, a can see two new disks. When I open (explorer) first, I get the message "format or not...". When try to open second, message received "pleas insert disk to drive G:"

Thank you in advance

G: could be explained if you have no microSD in.

hard to say what is wrong about internal flash.

Hi,
Please I need help. suddenly I have memory corrupted after i buy the device couple of hours ago. here what happened:

1. i switch on the device, then i explore it and start to download some application from the application manager.

2, meanwhiel, I went to the web browser and it sayd " Operations temporarliy disabled due to low memory".

3. when i start reciving SMS messages i see the preview but could not open it as another message appear " close applications".

4. the ovi map can't started and closed immedaility and I can't open any other application.

then i went to the file manager and i want to access the device internal memory "sfil_li_memorycard_internal" a message then appear " Memeory card format unsupported".

i went through setting> phone > memory and i found that a message wirtten under the device "memery card courrupted" and before that probelm it was showen 32GB as it is the internal deviced memeory.

the external momery are shown to be ok.

the solution i think of is to upfdate the softwear and i found that there is no new update using Nokia softwear update. then i just re-update with the same version but NOT SOLVED.

PLEASE ANY SUGGESTION BESID SENDING IT BACK TO THE NOKIA.

the only thing i can do is just using the device to call.

thanx

Try reflashing the eMMC as well, see http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware, and this part in particular. If it still has problems after that it's probably faulty hardware.

regards,

regarding the amount of different problems, you have encountered. It's really the best way to reset your firmware with flashing the device. Using the step by step manual, posted above, that should be a matter of 2-3 hours at max.
