Did you have something like this:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 "lot of numbers" c WIN95 FAT32
/dev/mmcblk0p2 "lot of numbers" 83 Linux
/dev/mmcblk0p3 "lot of numbers" 82 Linux swap

OK, so if you don't have any important data, remove sdcard and format emmc partitions:
(ctr+i = TAB)
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/mmcblk0p1
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2
mkswap /dev/mmcblk0p3

if there were no ERRORS type poweroff
flash fresh firmware image (NOT vanilla/emmc), turn on n900 and enjoy
First boot may take longer(first boot optification)

You want to say that I wasted time for silly options dead(lock code - I don't even know where is it). Install cssu or blame nokia

Mitrigol 2013-02-07 21:53

Re: N900 Not Booting & Problems
 
if your phone boot up properly and you can flash it too, then i advice you to make some search about this lock code problem you seem to have, you can recover it.

Also, for your slowness problem, you should have a look at CSSU, you can also make a search on this forum about it. even google will give you some links.

Now, i will disconnect and wish you happy learning and tweaking your device.

@Mitrigol if your phone boot up properly and you can flash it too,

i think you both are forgetting my first problem.....ie,,emmc/vanilla is not flashing completely....at 20% it stops... but if i flash combined (any version) it goes fully and phone works ..... but some problems like lock code, phone's speed, some files broken, etc...

i feel if emmc flashes fully in normal flasher all those above problems will go...
made a new thread for my N900 problem..kindly help me there....

Re: N900 Not Booting & Problems
 
Please help! My nokia n900 screen goes black whenever the battery gets hot. I have flashed and re-flashed and yet it would not work. It will come back to normal 36-48 hrs after the last usage. If i use it for like 2hrs, the phone will be hot and if i just leave it idle for like 1min the screen would just go black immediately. If i try to re-boot, it will boot and i will hear the nokia boot sound but the screen would still be black unless i leave it switched off for 2days before it can work normally again. Please help me on these! I love my nokia n900!
