Hi, I'm sorry, that's long ago and I've bought a new broken n900, with working USB but broken display, repaired with the display of my old one


I can only describe what I did:

-solder two thin (that the battery still is insertable) wires onto the D+ and D- pads

-solder the other side on D+ and D- of a cut USB-cable

-plug the USB cable and put the battery in (maybe you can swap these steps)

-you phone should be recognized by your computer (for linux, see "tail -f /var/log/syslog") and ready to flash.

-after flashing, remove the wires and the solder on the pads with desoldering wick.


good luck!
