N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

this is the second time i encounter this...
before i suspect hardware issue (sad to say I did reballs all the part of that phone and nothing happen... )

but this time after doing same thing it results to INSERT SIM problem again therefore
i now conclude that the problem is base on software

the phone has no problem
i just want to delete the data on the HD
my mistake is I format the HD using the format on the computer...

then after formatting the booting become too slow...
then after the shake hand the phone will not accept the sim...

is there anyone here encountered this problem before?

i really need help regarding this matter

try reflashing the phone.

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

You have updated with the old pr1.1 or pr 1.0

You need to reflash with PR1.2

It is an easy mistake to make, done the same thing myself.

Having trouble understanding what you've done here, so bare with me.

So, you plugged the phone into the PC, then right clicked on the N900 drive and selected "Format" from the menu?:confused:

What sort of data were you trying to delete?

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

The only way to "format"/"delete everything" on the internal drive of the N900 is to reflash the O/S, as explained in the wiki here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

This should return the phone to an "out of the box" state.

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

i thought reflashing it would only delete files on c

and the hard disk isnt affected?
enlighten me will yah?

now i will try to update this to version 10...
hope it will resolve the issue

thanks anyway for the reply sir

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

please read wiki
for win:

• 2.3.3 Updating or re-flashing the firmware using the Flasher
• 2.5 Flashing the eMMC in the N900

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format
 

it says meaning instead of flashing using this which with -R on the end i should not include it?

Re: N900 sim not detected after Hard Disk format

thanks all for the reply

i thought its another waste of money
