[help] why cant i flash my n900
 

i want to flash my n900 obviously now i downloaded the flash file and the flasher to my old xp laptop and installed the flasher and copied the flash files to there appropriate folder now i hold the u key while inserting the cable to put it into flash mode it comes on and the icon shows up at the to right corner of the screen now i enter the commands required to flash phone but when the flaher gives a message saying suitable usb device found booting into flash mode the display on n900 changes but when i looked at it the screen with the little penguin for the U-Boot screen comes up and it stops there (THE BACKLIGHT IS STILL OFF) is there any advice you can give and i there a way to remove the uboot also i tried to install the multi-boot so i can install Nitdroid/android thats how all this came about.

Here, have some full stops............................

Anyway, it sounds like it's going into charging mode instead of flashing mode. I've had similar issues getting it to flash in the past - using a Linux boot CD and flashing it from there has proved more successful.

As for getting rid of u-boot - you need to reflash the kernel to do that.
