That's alright, the boot loop should stop once the flashing process starts.

I've used an external charger to charge the battery but the phone powers up with no light meaning still see the nokia and usb logo but no light.
That means the phone is in a good condition to enter the flashing process.

I would start by checking your USB cable. You will not believe the number of problems I personally have resolved by simply replacing the USB cable.

Another thing to try is a different PC. I had one N900 consistently failing to flash for almost a year. I tried all 3 machines we had in the house, running 5 different operating systems. I eventually gave up and put the phone in the drawer. About a year later, I upgraded one of the machines, remembered about the phone and voilá, the flashing worked right away.
