Locked dutch mainboard -- suggestions?
 

Hi guys,

My 2nd n900 main board has developed some problems so I got an n900 mainboard from a computer mall in Shenzhen. It's pretty odd:

1) it boots into the lock screen, in Dutch, saying "Vergrendelingscode invoeren" (here's a picture)...and of course 12345 or a few other codes don't work.

2) flasher doesn't report a software version:

$ sudo ./flasher-3.5 --query-rd-mode
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

USB device found found at bus 001, device address 067.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2101
NOLO version 1.4.13
Version of 'sw-release': <no version>
The device is in production mode


Can anyone suggest anything interesting to do with it?

I already read the "Resetting lock code" thread, but that won't work for me as I can't access the root fs. I might just have to try reflashing it and see what happens...

what happens if you set it in R&D mode?

Normal R&D mode stuff (boot screen icon, extra writing), but the screen lock still happens :(.

This is easy. Look on wiki page .

Flash the meego rescue kernel, this will give you access to root partition and allow you to retrieve what you need from the rootfs to crack the code.

Thanks - that looks like exactly what I wanted.
