    Help....

    My N900 seems to have a problem with the memory....

    I am unable to take photos or video, as i get the folling error;
    'Memory not accessable. Unable to save content'

    It is also the same for the browser, I cannot save photos etc, as I get the following error;
    'Not allowed'

    I tried installing a Micro SD card, so I could save to that and use the camera, but it is not showing up at all in the file manager, nor the camera options....

    In Settings I have tried;
    'Restore original settings'
    'Clear device'
    And I also tried reverting to a backup...all with no success.

    All files I have on the memory arel still there, still accessable, and I have plenty space available....I just dont appear to be able to save anything new, from any source/using any app

    Any suggestions?
    If I cant get this fixed...its bye bye N900.

    Hello,

    maybe you should try to reflash the device to reset everything:
    (rootfs and emmc image)

    Hi.
    Before reflashing, what about trying this?

    sudo gainroot
    umount /home/user/MyDocs
    fsck -a /home/user/MyDocs

    The filesystem probably has errors and has kicked in read-only mode because of this. This is often caused by improperly removing the N900 from mass storage mode when the PC isn't finished with the device, random shutoffs/crashes, etc.

    Connect it to PC in mass storage mode, right click the N900, properties, tools, then error-checking. Only need the default "automatically fix file system errors" checked.
