Heya guys im a new user.

I have a couple of problems, but i'd like to deal with them one at a time.

When I go to the File Manager, I am not able to view files that I have created?
For example, I used Ovi to import some pictures to the n900 but I couldnt find them..I went to the image viewer and it wasnt there..so I disconnected the cable and re-connected it but in Mass Storage Mode, and I dragged and dropped the pictures onto my Phone, creating a picture folder in the process..but I still cant find it :/
When I go to the File Manager it still states "no files"

Could someone help me with this issue please?

Thanks

transfer all your images in mass storage mode to either the images folder of the DCIM folder.


i use the DCIM folder myself.


see if that works for you.

[livethinme]

Thats the thing though, when I go to the Mass Storage mode, there are no files..its just blank (Apart from the one I created)...

Is that normal?

[ceroberts75]

hmm. thats wierd if the file system is not showing.

have you tried to reflash the device?

try uzing my instructions here /t5/Maemo-Devices/Top-12-Maemo-N900-Issues-amp-Fixes/m-p/753608#M18135

be sure you do the os flas and the vanilla.

did you have an issue when connecting it to your pc?
and are you selecting the n900 icon in 'my pc'

[livethinme]

I havent tried no, okay i'll do that..worried ill mess thing sup but well I might as well try anyways..
Erm, question so its normal that when you create a folder say in Mas Storage Mode that it'll show up in the File Manager right?

[livethinme]

Hey, I have no issues connection the phone to the PC..and im doing that ..i selected the n900 icon and it was totally empty so I created the file "DCIM" and put the photos in them..but the phone cannot locate the file..
actually it cannot locate anything ..

[livethinme]

i went to the limk and theres now a problem. it seems that i cant save the Flasher app! it asks me to save it in a folder, but i cant do that as the phone doesnt recognize any files, and so there no where i can place the file in..

[livethinme]

.....oh and i cant create any new folders. so is there another way to download it?

[ceroberts75]

you will need to flash your device.

you will need to flash your device using your pc....not your n900.

[livethinme]

Ah..okay, btw I have a 65-bit Laptop (W7) :/
Are there any instructions for that?

[ceroberts75]

i think you m ean 64bit.


your best bet is to find another pc that is only a 32bit machine.

do you have any other pc or friends/reletives that will let you use thier pc?

[livethinme]

Where I am atm?..Nope...
My gf would, but she has a mac..
Im not at home currently..I think when I get home and if the phone is still like this..i'll just take it back and replace it..

[matthew_maude]

i'm still confused about your problem and how it came to be :-s

can you open the x terminal on your phone and run

cd MyDocs
ls -a

and copy/paste the results here

[livethinme]

it doesnt work..

When I load the Terminal I get this

- $ and then I can write what I want..but its only on one line..

"cd MyDocs
ls -a"

Writing the first line is no problem...but theres no way I can write the second without hitting enter and therefore processing what I wrote..
If that was how it was meant to be written in..then I got "not found"

Unless ive missed something?

[ceroberts75]

if you only have a win 7 64bit.

try looking here to flash:   Updating/Flashing the firmware on n900

and you will want to be sure to look at the 5 different options for getting it to work on win7 64bit.  none are garanteed...but at least you can try.

win7 64bit workaround

haha

you need to type the first line then press enter then the second line followed by enter again

[livethinme]

I did that and it just kept saying "-sh: Is: not found" thats why I thought maybe I was entering it wrongly..but it seems that im not..so thats what it says..

[matthew_maude]

are you copying the commands exactly?

it should look like this

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ cd MyDocs
~/MyDocs $

~/MyDocs $ ls -a
.
..
.VolumeIcon.icns
._
.a
.apt-archive-cache
.cutetube
.documents
.images
.map_tile_cache
.mediabox


the red text is what i typed and the bottom example will have loads more, i just didnmt copy it all

[livethinme]

Yep, it says:

BusyBox v1.10.2 (Debian 3:1.10.2.legal-1osso30+0m5) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

~ $ cd MyDocs
~/MyDocs $

~/MyDocs $ ls -a
-sh: Is: not found
