Re: bricked after deinstalling kernel power
 

I'd say if it at least charges while it's in the reboot loop leave it like that until it's fully charged (give it an hour or so?).

After that, remove the battery and put it back in without turning it on. Then follow my instructions. pressing u when turning it on should prevent it from trying to load Maemo.

EDIT - Your problem might be different than the OP's... The solution I posted might not work for You (it might not even work for the OP, but it's worth a try)... Don't hijack his thread... ;)

Regarding a phone that won't charge there's been lots of other threads about that. Please look for the answer there. I believe You have to either borrow a fully charged battery or get Your battery charged by someone else who also have a N900.

Re: bricked after deinstalling kernel power
 

Well im not really sure if it charges, the charger LED indicator aint blinking so.
But i now pressed "u" when i connected it to my PC, It shows me a VERY vague Nokia logo. But it dont reboot now, and the LED indicator is glowing yellow.(Not pulsating like the charging LED effect)

Ill leave it like that for a while, maybe it gets some more battery, Then ill give it a flash, just need to download Ubuntu or something, since im at 64bit Win7, and some say that it migth give me some trouble.
Anyhow, thanks for you help, I'll hola at you if i run into some kinda problem, and ill let you know if it worked out. :)

Use the charger to charge it instead of charging via USB... :)

It's a lot faster that way... ;)

Re: bricked after deinstalling kernel power
 

You don't turn it on when flashing using 'Flasher 3.5' from a PC. Yank the battery, put the battery back in DONOT turn on the N900. Connect the USB lead to the PC and open the keyboard on the N900. Hold the 'U' key down on the N900 and at the same time plug in the other end of the USB lead into it. Keep your finger on the 'U' until the N900 screen displays dimmed the blue 'NOKIA' in the middle and the symbol for USB in the top right. It's dimmed so can be hard to see.

When the N900 displays this it is in 'flashing mode' it will stay like this forever, unless you yank the battery again. Note: it doesn't charge in this mode. Now follow the instructions given about what to do with 'Flasher 3.5' and it should be fine.

So no hijackin attended, just want to get both our phones up and running. Cuase I can feel his pain... and it really hurts. :p

Re: bricked after deinstalling kernel power
 

Thanks for that. Ill just leave it on the wallcharger, and hope it charges while rebooting then.

Re: bricked after deinstalling kernel power
 

i have successfully flashed the kernel only. but it is still showing the same problem, forces to reboot after it reaches the desktop.
