So here I am trying to flash with the new Global Firmware to take care of my Sim card problem. I have Windows Vista 64-Bit and I've disabled the checking of unsigned drivers by going "F8" when windows was starting up. When I pressed "F8" I chose the last option at the bottom of the list which was like "disable checking of unsigned drivers" or something to that sort I forget which one.

Now here is my problem. I can't seem to flash and the following 3 pictures is what I get (the list scrolled on so I had to spread them out in 3 pictures) but if you notice at the beginning of the last pic it says "Nothing to do!"

You've missed off the "-R -f" from the end of the command.

Ok I will try this again tonight and post my results. Thanks Rob1n! Is it necessary to flash my eMMc as well? I don't mind all my pictures and videos staying on the phone, I'm not trying to sell it or anything.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

It shouldn't be necessary, no - unless you're trying to fix a problem involving the eMMC.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

I'm in the process of flashing right now and it's been on the line that says "Suitable USB Device not found, Waiting..." for more than 10 mins now. I thought this was supposed to take approx 4 mins. Could this be possible? I'm starting to get worried.

Re: N900 Problem: SIM Card Not Recognized
 

Almost more than 20 mins later and it's still on that same line...I'm hoping someone can help in the next few minutes. Not sure if I should just unplug my phone or if that will brick the device.
