I think, one post of the same content is enough...
You can easily edit your post, btw.

Ok, remove and insert the battery back for abt 45munits, and see what will happen. But first u need charge your battery separately using a universal charger to "kick" the battery, that's the term though. Try that.

Constant yellow is charging in autonomous mode, that is at a low rate (100mA), possibly a problem with bme (which is the software on the N900 that normally controls the charging) not sure though, it should charge normally when connected in USB mode.

EDIT: When you say USB mode, do you mean USB mode at the bootloader? In that case I guess it would be constant yellow because BME hasn't been loaded yet to control the charging, it should charge eventually like that but will take a long time (i.e. 10x longer than normal charging from the wall plug charger).

Tanks for the comment. I will try to leave it connected to my PC overnight.

With USB mode I mean to get a charge I hold down "u" while connected to charger and then you see a USB icon in the upper right corner and I get the constant Yellow light.

I tired again to connect the battery to a usb cable for 10 minutes to give it a kick but I still have the same problem.

It is official. I have tried all the tricks in the book.

I have fully charged the battery in an external charger. Flashed the (Vanilla) EMMC, took out battery and then firmware straight after. I have tried putting the phone in R&D mode and all other tricks I have found on the internet.

The status now is that it boots and the black screen with the white dots start to roll back an forward and then the screen dims (dots continue) and then the phone goes off and after 30 seconds the boot cycle starts again.. and again... and again..

I am getting desperate here HELP...

That could have killled your battery, charging it with 5v. Try flashing with other images (other versions and regions) and see if the problem persists.

Re: Help my N900 is dead..
 

Thank you for the reply the battery is fine before and after the charge. I have tried with different versions but its true I have only focused on the Global region but I dont have much hope in that to tell you the truth.

I guess I have to bury it and have a ceremony next weekend :)
