Step 2: it will say "device not found"; plug the usb in the N900 - wait until "Nokia" comes up then proceed to the next step

Step 3: type the next command; flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Last step: you will see your N900 starting like out of the box.

Thans, God. You never mentioned where you are from or how old you are. Care to tell?

Mine is bricked- not a peep out of it now- and even Nokia Care's repair centre can't fix it. What a shambles this has all been. Now I can't get hold of MPD, they ignored my email request for a returns code which Nokia Manchester had instructed me to do- and now I have to wait while Monday to attempt to speak to someone at Nokia Care.

ninjaboxergirl, did yiu try it yourself? SOme of the care centers don't have the proper training to know how, according to a few other posters. I suggest you give it a shot. I'm ready to help if you need a guide.

mate i went through the same thing. it was all the battery. nokia care centre couldnt even help me. i borrowed my friends 5800 battery fully charged and the flashing worked. make sure u hold 'u' when you plug the cable in. or you can buy a desktop charger from ebay. trust me its 100percent the battery. read my last post on instructions or follow the wiki. make sure you disable your antivirus and firewall.

Done this with Win7. Step 2 wasn't that stright forward. At least on my Asus laptop with Win7, only one out of four USB ports can be used for flashing by the flasher. So step 1 to step 2 is actually a loop over each USB port UNTIL it connects to the N900.

The next time I flash something (probably my N800 for a clean start, and because it doesn't constantly reboot :p ), I will not have to do the loop again.
