Re: Nokia N900 Keeps rebooting and can't be flashed.

Its quite possible your USB port is somehow faulty and that is causing the phone not to be picked up when you connect it to the PC (and so the phone then tries to start up normally, hits whatever is causing the reboot loop and then reboots)

Hi everyone.

I have uninstalled some applications from my Nokia N900 and now the phone keeps rebooting when i try to put it on.

I thought i could just flash it, but it wont boot to recovery mode.

What happens is this:
- I press and hold the power button > led lights up and phone vibrates.
- Backlight comes on and stays for a few seconds > phone reboots and it repeats.

Because of this, i cant get to the recovery state to even being flashing.

Can someone please help me if i can be helped?

..if you cant't flash it. then reverse the process like first flash with comb img.. the phone will boot up then flash with emmc and then comb..ive got same prob as your and mine success.
hope it helps.

Based on those threads, it has something to do with a drained battery and hence may be a need for either simply charging the battery (via an external battery charger)

+1

A drained battery can easily result in a boot loop. The boot process starts, hits the point with a bigger current drain (e.g. when the screen or the vibrator turns on), the voltage drops below a critical level... boom! A reboot!

An external charger is always useful (to be gentle on your USB connector) but you can try without it first. Just turn the phone off, wait at least 10 seconds and then plug in the charger. The phone should vibrate, a dark Nokia logo appears on the screen for a few seconds, an orange light should start fading in and out and nothing else. About two hours later, the LED turns green. Unplug the charger and turn the phone on to see if you still have a boot loop.

Hopefully flashing won't be necessary. With a drained battery, flashing is not possible anyway.
