[help] n900 bricked without solution
 

Hey guys, hello!
Im joing this forum in a bad way: suddenly,my n900 device bricked, after installing a PT-BR idiom pack. I researched a lot, and i downloaded all the programs, flasher and the emmc file and the firmware file. i've tried to install, both, with all success instalation, but the phone is still bricked. anyone have another solution? I dont know what to do now. Thanks for the atention!

What exactly happens?

It DID turn on for you to flash it, right? So, something is working.

If I recall correctly, it takes quite some time to boot for the first time after flashing. What happens after you finish flashing? It just goes dead and does not turn on?

right,i will explain exactaly what happens. One day, the device just turn off by himself, and dont turn to power on again. After some healing search, i knew how to reinstall the firmware, using flasher. I did it, but the device dont change - he just locks on the screen after the nokia logo. I replace the emmc using the vanilla file and reinstalling the firmware after that, and it dont changed the problem. Now, he just turn on and locks in the little dimmers screen, that one with five balls. I can connect the device in the usb mode, the flasher works normal, but i dont dissolve the case. What i have to do now?

"When flashing the eMMC content, always flash the FIASCO/Rootfs image and then flash the eMMC. Do not boot up the device between the two i.e do NOT use the -R parameter at the end!"

-R only in second run.

so, let me understand... firt i will have to flash using the firmware file, and then flash the emmc? so, when flashing the first one, i cant put the -r parameter, just puting it at the second time, that will be when i will flash the emmc. im i right? About dont turn on the device between the two procedures, how i will do it, knowing that the mobile turns automatic on about the process? I learned too that we have to first flash the emmc and then the firm file...a lot of topics teachs it, and i saw some videos in youtube about flashing doing this way... thanks for your atention, and sorry about my english... :)
