Ok nevermind, i never expected that the members of Maemo.org can be this rude and helpless.
For those of you that have the same problem as me, it's because Windows 7 x64 has conflicts with the drivers. For the smartasses that think they know what they're talking about, driver detection and installation DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.
It doesn't mean that if you have a driver CD or the driver software, that it makes it 100% guaranteed that you will install everything perfectly fine. That's why there are driver conflicts and problems.
Yes PC Suite contains all the connection drivers you need, but Windows 7 itself DOES NOT detect my phone.
If this is too hard for you to understand, then let me put it this way. Let's say you have a 8GB USB flashdrive. Normally, you don't EVEN need to install drivers for it, you just plug it into your PC and you can use it straight away, correct?? Well the problem is, your PC does NOT detect the USB.
This is the same problem for me. If my PC does not detect my Nokia N900, how the hell can you use Maemo Flasher to flash it?? It shows no device is connected, therefore I can't do a damn thing!
Anyway the problem is solved, I had to run VMWare to run Windows XP and then use it. I'm actually quite disappointed with the support of this forum. We all know who the trolls are for this topic, I created this topic asking for help and laying out my problems and steps i've already attempted in my first post, but 2 of you bad mannered kids come here and post random garbage telling me that i'm trolling my "OWN" post?? Grow up.
