Re: n900 boot loop
You can restore stock kernel with flasher tool. Read http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power#Deinstallation for instructions.

Re: n900 boot loop
I just had a similar situation - also nothing backed up - well on the emmc... after being near a heart attack I tried to think logical and searched around...
what caused my reboot loop (sounds exactly the same as yours): nitdroid installer failed - tried sandisk mmc specific kernel (see nitdroid forum) - rebootet using multiboot --> reboot loop (multiboot menu didn't show up anymore) this worked for me: pull battery out plug in usb issue the following command on the pc (as root/with sudo): ./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R press u on the device and while pressing insert the battery in my case immediately after flasher showed its completion status I had the multiboot menu up and I could select the kernel everything still there (contacts, settings, ...) just exchanged the kernel (beforehand I was running the kernel-power) |
Re: n900 boot loop
nvm guys, got it working..... for anyone else in this situation:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f |
