Hello everybody,

I've been asked by a friend of mine to help him extract data from his Nokia N900 as i have experiance in data extraction from phones due to my profession.

Task: Extract data from the damaged phone.

It diden't turn out to be a straight on task since the phone won't boot up it's operatingsystem.
It seems that the battery were damaged in during the drop incident. Therefor i have powered it up with powercables. It starts quite nicely, vibrating and showing the Nokia logo with white background. But then it gets stuck here.

I try to find some answers by googleing, but there are almost no answers that seem to be fitting this problem.

Would it be possible to boot a separate OS like android in order to preformdata extraction?

Would there be a way of repairing the boot process? Maybe by flashing the firmware?

Best regards!
