Download the bin file for your device and use flasher-3.5 to install (personally I'd never use NSU to reflash the N900)

Installed application has to be re-installed after this?

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

i have taken backup......but as i read, i took only application list i believe,...

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

Yes, you have to reinstall all apps, it backs up the app list and downloads the apps again.

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

so al apps will be re-installed automatically?

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

You can select what to restore from the backup, and what to restore from the applications.
Reinstalling all apps would make you end up with the same problem though, so pick what you want and stay out of -devel

Anybody who have used Flasher 3.5 to flash N900 please help.

> I took 3.2010.....bin firmware (Global release version) which i need to put into root directory of my N900.
> Then Switch off my phone and connect to PC.
> Start the Flashing process using Flasher 3.5.

Please tell if this is right?

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

Make sure battery is full.

1. switch off phone.
2. Plug the usb on N900 and press the "U" on the keyboard then turn it on.
3. Once you see the nokia without backlight and the usb icon on the upper right you can stop pressing the "U".
4. You are now ready to flash.

Note: you can rename to shorten the filename. I rename this update OS3.bin when I updated my N900 so won't to type or copy paste the long name. Besides my vista 32 can't read the long filename.

IS there any nececity that i have to put the downloaded image into my phone's root dirctory????

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

Please reply me fast......I am waitng to flash my device.....

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

There is no reason that not putting the downloaded image in the root directory would destroy your system, so why not try it?

Why wouldn't you put it in the root directory if you were worried about it.

I don't think you need to put the downloaded image in the root directory.

Re: Need help on re-flashing
 

You don't put the downloaded image into N900, you put it in your PC.
