Is it possible to Flash Nokia N900 (Maemo) without USB? (Using JAF or MT-Box?)
 

I have bought this cable: Ebay.co.uk


The MicroUSB is Broken.

Could I possibly Flash the device using this cable somehow?
(I am not able to solder the MicroUSB of the N900 or use this method: Maemo.org Forums like this guy....)



Thanks in Advance....

Not by a way that is known to anyone. If you succeed, give us a sign ;)

That's not the correct flashing jig.

The one used at Maemo Summit 2009 to flash a metric crapload of N900s is the official service tool which looks like this.

Ofcourse u can do that easily all u require is hti box (app mxkey)
start it then go to nokia tool then bb5 select model load frimware manually by clicking or they appear automatically if directrys are set up. Click flash
i think u dont have mxkey ri8 then u need to find one to go the easy way.
If u have good soldering skills i recommend u not to bother with the avove just connect rx tx gnd with battery(needs to be removed connected for flashing to start and do press power button also use a charger if u fail) i have flashed in this manner via mxkey via a usb cable as i find it more reliable then the fbus which seems to be broken in my later cases.

Take help from estel for the maemo flasher tutorial as i havent used that . Also if it needs something extra just incase

And i should say why moan with a broken usb?? Thats pretty easy to repair and in case it tore the board layouts its a bit techarious to make jumpers. To fix usb we have a state of the art thread on it search for idea to create a new connection ...rest i forgot its some pages back i think.
It has crystal clear pinouts.

Do reply where u r struck.

Probably?? Find one with mxkey and you already have the fbus cable which is scarcce for n900 .
Can you tell me wich boxes you have access to currently .so that i can tell u if u already have the solution in hand:)
