Device does not boot - Solid White Notification light.
 

Having a problem with my N900 the notification light stays on, and is colored white. It stays white throughout out the process. Blue Nokia logo on White screen then goes to the 4 dots screen then the four dots disappears and the device goes blank then turns off. I will upload a youtube video in a few moments.

Ideally I'd like to make a back-up of the phone and reflash. If a re-flash is not necessary I'd be happier to go that route. I did make backups but I'm pretty sure they are on the phone. Any help would be truly appreciatted!

Yup, happened to me too after trying to do the OTA update via xterm, except the lights were a bit more funky and flashing madly. I had to reflash everything (tried just the kernel, but made no diff). C'est la vie :)

Ok I fixed it was scared though. Here's what I did:

My phone was not on PR 1.2 so I figured let's upgrade off air and see what happens..was scared because I did not want to lose data so I found this guide with my google-fu:

Proceeded to follow the guide and was able to get my phone back-up and running.
My last back-up was on the 8th of this month not a big deal but still thank god I backed it up. So all is well now! I'm on the latest firmware and all is better!
