Re: Bricked N900 - HELLLPPPP!!!!
 
Hi Jade..Thanks for that rapid reply. I tried disconnecting the internet connection and tried flashing by pressing the "u" button ..but all i see is - the orange led is glowing continuously (not blinking) and after some time the logo "NOKIA" (without any light) shown on the screen and then vibrates and then repeating to show this logo.. and then the orange led :( Any other clue?

Adding to the above, I'm using Windows XP 2000 professional Version 2002 SP3

hey buddy do you have enough charge in your battery. I suggest you charge your battery for a while before you try to flash it again.

When i try to charge the battery using power outlet, the phone is continuously rebooting...with NOKIA with the light...then i disconnected thinking that make the problem more worse :( Also when i try to charge it via USB, then the orange led glows for ~1 min and then there is no action on the phone..what shall i try now?

The phone loads part of the os to get it to properly charge.
if it cant it will just 'trickle' charge the battery (solid orange light) just leave for a few hours and then try to flash again using jade's method.

Thanks for that Idea..I left it now connected with USB..Is that sufficient to charge the battery rather than connecting it to the power outlet? The only difference I would say between these two connectivity to charge the battery is - when connected to the power outlet, the NOKIA comes with the backlight and then reboots continuously..but when connected to the USB, the back-light is absent...all it happens here is the orange led glows for some time and then the NOKIA logo with no backlight..this process is continuing now..does it harm the device anyway?

I've simmilar issue time ago and I've could avoid re-rebooting :) removing the battery...later I've could flash it simply pluging-in the USB and switching on the n900....

Use the power outlet..it will charge faster.It happened to me also. I left it for 2-3 hours on charge and then it flashed succesfully.
Try it and then let me know.

when plugged into wall charger your giving it more power so it can charge and boot up. but with usb the phone knows it gona struggle to do both so just charges.eventually your get enough charge in the battery and it'll try to boot on usb too.
just leave it on wall charger if you want to be reflashing it a bit sooner.

Thanks a lot..I will connect it to power outlet right now...but all i wanted to know is whether this continuous rebooting during this charge, with vibration anyway harms the device?
