Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

Hello,

i'll wan't to resolve my "double Folder problem" after installing the softwareupdate for a few weeks ago.

Today i flashed it again like http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
I do it over Windows XP.

All went fine, the flasher quits correctly....

The N900 will reboot, the settings for PIN-CODE , Country,Date time etc. will show.

And now, the desktop screen will show for about 10 seconds an then the n900 will reboot again an again and again.......

Who from you could help me to resolve the problem?

Did nobody can help me?

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

Is there a way to put the N900 in delivery status?

All the data can be delete?

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

I'd suggest flashing again, and doing the eMMC as well.

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

ok,

what have i to do first?

eMMC flashing - i will lose my maps! Is it possible to reinstall these?

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

You'll need to do the eMMC first, then the main firmware. And yes, you'll lose the maps and all other data on the phone (including ringtones) when you flash it. You can try powering the phone off altogether and plugging it in via USB - this should mount it in mass storage mode, allowing you to copy anything you want off. As for reinstalling the maps, you can use the Nokia Map Loader to install/update the maps on the N900 (you need the 3.0.28.0 version, and there's some workarounds needed for Windows 7 and 64-bit Windows).

Hi,

i have done the eMMC flash with the following command under Win7:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

The prozess is finished successfully. After rebooting i have the following situation:

1. No GSM a cardsymbol with a red strike is shown
2. My inserted SD-Card will not read / shown in the filemanager

?

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

Have you reflashed the firmware as well (it needs doing after the eMMC flash)? If so, which firmware did you use?

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

What a hell:mad:

After i flashed the phone with eMMC i did flash it with flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Now, all works fine up to my SD-Card:confused:
Tommorow, i will look in a other phone it will be working?

Thx a lot Rob1n :)

Re: Rebooting N900 after second flash
 

ok,

i'm very happy:)

Now all is working fine.

The Problem with the microSD - you must close the cover:rolleyes:

Thx to all:)

Hello,

I had the same problem after updating from 2.2009.51-1 to 3.2010.02-8.

I followed your advice and got the phone working again by flashing eMMC and 3.2010.02-8.

Thank you!!
