please help me..i'm really sad..

i want my n900 working...

Ok. Before anything else, sort out the rootfs-is-full-thing. Open your application manager and start uninstalling programs you don't need, themes you never use, etc. Make sure to get at least 20 Mb free, before attempting to upgrade your PR1.2 (I suppose?)

That leads to the following questions:

PC Part:

What operating system (OS) do you use? Mention the version too.

What Nokia software version do you use?

On the phone part:

Is your current PR version 1.2? So you're trying to upgrade to PR1.3?

Have you got root access?

Once you've done that, you can start to think about how to tackle your other problems.

Hi m8 you can try http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
you can even choose which version you want, it's not hard if you follow the instructions on the wiki.
As for full rootfs you can find some great tutor on:

I hope this helps. Get back if you get stuck.
