bhupendra you probably fixed you problem now but if anyone else reads this, this is the exact thing that happened to me.. I uninstalled mobile hotspot and then tried to remove power kernel using app manager instead of the "deinstall poewr kernel" app and it screwed my phone. I got it working again following the wiki instructions but I only needed to download the pr1.3 image and flash the kernel from it with this command line:



flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

The kernel is an integral part of the software that runs your device. If you remove the kernel, the hardware has no way of communicating with the software. Consider it to be a bridge. If you burn that bridge, nothing comes across. That's why there is a "Remove Power Kernel" application that will remove the power kernel and re-instate the default Maemo kernel before applying the changes.

Don't just remove kernel-power from HAM / FAM, you WILL bork your device.
