Now before you shoot me because this question has been asked i'll describe what i've done so far. I've read through about 1/2 hours worth of complaints and hacks to try get it to work but no dice.

I've literally sat in a garage that gets no radio signal and had the phone sit ontop of a car next to the antenna and ontop of a stereo and i get no broadcast. I've tried fmboost but it does nothing. My old n900 worked no questions asked but this version is a newer revision. I've tried flashing it with every current 1.3 variant and it still make no difference. The Lfocus app hack doesnt seem to affect it either.

Any ideas people?

Cheers
