Hi,
I am a new N770 user, I flashed my nokia 770 with the OS2007HE. I tried to follow the directions on maemo about how to boot from MMC, but I guess I screwed up. So, my mmc card now only shows 468 mb( ie the 1st partition length, but it does not show the rest >1.5 GB) I guess the problem has been caused by my not following the direction as to in N800. Since my nokia is running OS2007 (there was a command such as-- umount /media/mmc2 for nokia 800 which I skipped) Please let me know how to reflash the MMC card again to get it back to its original size of 2 GB instead of what it is showing now.
TIA
I hope this helps.

for this you don't need usb reader, just connect n770 with the card inserted over usb. But it may not work as Windows may leave partition layout as is.
you can try sfdisk like the guide says but create only one partition over whole card. This can be done by leaving first two fields empty i.e. run sfdisk and enter ',,6' (without quotes) and press enter four times (to leave other three partitions empty)

armel and fanoush, thanx for yr replies. USB adapter doesnt work, and fanoush, I am getting an error message of "cannot umount /media/mmc1: invalid argument" so cant go till sfdisk....see that was what I was wondering about, did I need to umount mmc2 just like nokia N800 since I was using OS2007HE? I thought that had something to do with the problem.
Do you guys know any other way to format the MMC and get back the original 2GB?
TIA

I have a similar problem - N770 but running OS2006
I wound up with a boot menu that has MMC card oartition 2 (stable) ext2 and
MMC Card partition 3 (Sardine/testing) ext3
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank You,
steve
