Software Error: Too many reboots
 

So the other day, I had completely forgotten to charge my N9 and was late to work so it had shutoff. In my car I plugged in my charger and it started to charge, however my charger was loose so it would charge and uncharge over and over, I didn't notice the charger was loose so I tried to power on the device here and there and it would start for a second and then shutoff. I finally saw it was the charger that was loose and plugged it in and it charged up. When I turned on the phone it started, then gave me an error screen that said Software Error: Too many reboots. Please use NSU to update. Then it shut off. I powered it back on and the phone worked fine.

Now everytime I power off or reboot the phone, I get this error screen, and the phone shuts off, then I turn it back on and all is normal.

Any thoughts on what is going on? Probably will reflash over the weekend.

Re: Software Error: Too many reboots
 

Probably autobricked the device after failing to boot a certain amount of times (as is the case with the N900).

Can you use Flasher to set and unset RD Mode?

Re: Software Error: Too many reboots
 

The device isn't bricked at all. It displays that error shuts off and works fine when I power on again. If I power it off, it will do it again.

Re: Software Error: Too many reboots
 

Maybe it's different this time, it simply triggers a flag in getbootstate (or some other part of the boot process) after X amount of failed boots.

Now I got this problem too, and it's my fault, I was calling killall meegotouchhome too many times playing with home screen wallpapers. (if you kill it five times in a row it reboots) so there is nothing wrong with the device. Is there a way to remove the flag, I don't want to reflash just to make the warning go away

Re: Software Error: Too many reboots
 

This polly is a feature to spot the 'reboot loop' if it happens. Good question though: how to get rid of this?

Re: Software Error: Too many reboots
 

Just 'try' with set R&D mode, boot up, shut down, unset R&D mode, boot up normally (as Hurrian already said). Like (for N900) in
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350.
Especially
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350#c34
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350#c40
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6350#c42

Furthermore there should be another (official) solution to get rid of it.
But at least now the N9 does boot.

Nah, nothing with rd mode. It says xsession/mthome by the way. Does this mean something to you?
