XP -32bits (recommended)

Start - Download Flasher 3.5, install it and download images from Nokia site. Put those images into the c:/Program Files/maemo/flasher 3.5/

Take the battery out for 15Seconds, holding the power button while the battery is out.
Put the battery back in, Press hold "U" then plug the USB
Start the CMD from RUN, Follow the instruction from WIKI..

First - Format/flash your eMMC with Vanilla Image, Run the command from Wiki with the correct name of image
Second - Reflashing with the latest OS image, Run the command from Wiki with the correct name of image, Case sensitive.

Ignoring the driver not found part, and click Enter.
Wait ........ then it should detect :D

"MORE IMPORTANT:
I don't recommend non-developers to do this."

The solutions to your problems have been provided in numerous posts. Use the power search Luke.

Well I had to install it in order to install certain apps that required libqt4-core package/sdk, such as the pyrocall or healthcheck etc......anyway I already did it so that's why i'm trying to get this fixed.

For the power search, i assume it's the link in your signature? Well I already tried that, that's why i provided links and explained what i did in my first post, to show you that i did do a search and found the solutions i could already, and it still wouldn't work. I don't even think you read my post properly?? I can't re-flash the phone at all without having the PC recognizing the "Nokia USB ROM" driver and download it.

I read your post, it's the same as a hundred others "OMG I BRICKED my PHONE!!!!" HELP!!!!! etc

If you had searched and read even a couple of the many, many posts of this nature then you would have simply read how to flash your device and done it without creating an embarassingly dramatic thread like this one.

Ok look, I've already stated the steps i've done in my first post, and those steps are the same thing from the other posts, in fact i'll post the link to the guide that i'm using:

http://www.maemofanatics.com/how-to-...ur-nokia-n900/

that is the same for pretty much every other posts and instructions there are, i've searched for over an hour on "Maemo.org" and all find the same solutions. I KNOW what to do, I just have to let the flasher detect my device and i just run the command and that's it, the problem is (which is what i've been saying over and over again), the flasher WON'T detect my device.


Now, you on the other hand kept giving me useless comments telling me to go and search and read for other topics, while i told you i already have. I keep telling you that it doesn't work for me, and you keep trolling this topic giving no help whatsoever. If you don't wanna help, then GTFO, don't try to make things worse for others as i can tell this is probably what you like to do on forums??

If you want to troll, at least provide some links to the other topics you've read, so as to proof that you do know what you're talking about. Because i can assure you, i've read at least 5 of them on here and like i said, they don't work for me.





When you plugin the Nokia N900 while pressing the "U" key on the keyboard, your PC will detect it and automatically install some drivers. One of which is called the "Nokia USB Rom". In order for the Maemo Flasher 3.5 to detect the N900, the drivers will have to be installed, the problem is my PC just doesn't install it, it doesn't download the drivers and installation just fails. Therefore, i can't get the flasher to detect my phone and therefore can't flash it.

I've already Googled on the Nokia USB Rom problem as well as searching Maemo.org, and found no solutions.
