Will re coldflashing with the hw rev detected now (2104) and reflashing combined do the trick?

I did nolo flash as it was stated so in the wiki

The only symptom indicating that you need a coldflash on N900 is when the dim NOKIA screen doesn't show up.

I don't know what happened exactly by coldflashing using wrong hw-id, but at least the eMMC is different on different hw-revisions, so you might encounter failing uBoot or dunno what. I'm also not sure what will happen when you coldflash with differnet / correct(?) hw-ID now, but I guess it can't be worse than what already been done.

cheers

ps: again: NEVER do coldflash unless you clearly see that NOLO doesn't work anymore. coldflash isn't needed for anything else but restoring broken NOLO, and I haven't seen a single report of broken NOLO so far, probably since not even changing OS to nitdroid or nemo does even touch NOLO.
