What is SWAP -> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...829#post510829

When you flash with a diffrent product code (only N900) it is not automaticly changed like on other nokia phones. It needs to be done separately! Otherwise, when you scan phone in Phoenix it will always read as RX-51 SWAP even though you have flashed with a region product code.
Product codes for N900 -> http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34193

So solution is to first change product code to your region in Phoenix with active media changed to USB in connection manager (you will need FPS-21, SS-46, FS-94, CA-101 and SX-4 available only in Nokia service center ))))) ) and then flash it with a sw for your region.
It is a 10min job and for now this can be done only in Nokia service center.

So Xizor, print this and go to your service ))))))))))))))))))
@qbert: I went to the Nokia Care point with a printout of your post and requested them to change the product code. Since this was the first N900 they ever had, they asked me to come back the next day so that they had time to get familiar with the N900 on their flasher.

When I returned the next day, I was told that every information I gave them was wrong and that the product code could only be changed by Nokia directly, so they would have to send in the phone or to order a replacement phone....
