Ok, this error seems be different than what I was having. Device is not able to boot. Timeout while waiting for the HWBREAK Could not reboot into cold bootmode [Pipe 1] Finishing in error state with status 1 Can you try R&D mode? http://wiki.maemo.org/N9QTweak#RD_Mode If this doesn't work , I hope someone else will be able to help you here. Don't just give up yet I got my N9 back to life after sitting in box for almost 3 months
