N800 First 22 days , a recap
First Time DAY 7
I installed the BT plugin, rebooted. At his point it went into a reboot loop. I thought no big deal I will reflash. Using windows reflashed. Boots 3 secs then dies
Second Time DAY 21
built kernel modules, went great. built new kernel. flashed new kernel. Boots 3 secs then dies. I thought no big deal I will reflash original kernel. unpacked original kernel from image using flash tool. flashed the original kernel back. Boots 3 sec then dies.
Third Time DAY 22
loaded some kernel modules usbcore and ohci-hcd. No problems, crashed within 2 minutes, screen lost power turned black. Turned back on, boots 3 secs then dies.
The first time this happend to me, I thought it was a fluke and after trying to reflash several times, I exchanged. The second time it happend I was on Day 21 of my 21 day return policy, so after spending several hours trying linux and windows flashers and different combination of options, I returned it and got a new one again with new 21 day return policy. That was yesterday, after about 30 hours I totaled it again. I had plenty of return time left so I figured start messing with it. I tried all the same things again, nothing worked. When it did work I had no SD cards (not sure if this matters, but they were out) in and it was the windows flasher (not sure that this matter either. No R&D options set, or anything else. I guarantee this will happen again to me, I hope I can or someone can, or nokia will quickly come up with a sequence of events or new flashing tool to make this not an issue. It seems to be correctable, but I can not understand how the third time it happened to me. The first two times it happened it failed to boot only after using the flasher, the third time, it failed for unknown reasons, I had loaded those kernel modules previously and since so it has nothing to do with them. IF it just crashed and failed to boot, this might seem to indicate an actual harware problem, though it seems unlikely.
Perhaps this will help Textrat figure out what hes doing wrong
