Good luck

i have not yet tried in 64 bit....both PCs were 32 bit....one XP SP3 and other WIN 7..

@ALecsandru told to try on a new PC..this time I got Dad's laptop which is 64 bit..not yet tried on laptop....
MD5 checksum value of emmc - 488809ff96a0a05479d692e9f77aeb4f
how to check if it is ok now?

At the site where you dowloaded the images, the Md5 should have been mentioned. Hopefully it was the Nokia site.

I couldn't get the page to open right now.

1 emmc was sent to me via FTP by a member here...
1 emmc from nokia...now page error
1 emmc from skeiron,but not finding link now.

i said emmc file broken should be rare BECAUSE all combined files are flashing fully....why should only emmc, that too from different sources get corrupt? think....rarest of the rarest case,may be....
almost 5 combined files....all flashing fully....
but none of the emmc flashing beyond 20%....

Use official images only. It's the only way for you to be sure about what you are downloading.

Make sure you have R&D mode disabled.

If your N900 is running somehow and you can get to a terminal, have a look at the filesystem of your emmc, using the code below, line for line.

I assume root is enabled on your device and that you have entered root mode.

To be certain about the partition for MyDocs, first run

Code:

mount | grep MyDocs

It should return a line with /home/userMyDocs and just before that the /dev/ location of the device is mentioned. Write that down.

Now you are sure about the partition, let's check the health conditon and make sure to give the correct /dev/mmcx device you just wrote down:

Code:

umount /dev/mmcbk0p1 
fsck -a /dev/mmcbk0p1
mount /dev/mmcbk0p1 /home/users/MyDocs

If errors are found, during this process, repeat it then, untill no errors pop up. of course you don't need to first mount and unmount the partition, just repeat the fsck line, for as long as errors appear (and of course, with each round, there should be less errors

)

Share the output of fsck with us here.

You said you had read the wiki carefully!

No? That's odd. I just looked. What does the second line say?

So, why did you simply take my code and paste it in the terminal where it doesn't belong? Look at the wiki first before you do something you don't know anything about.

Disabling R&D is done with the flasher tool.
