First download flasher-3.5 from this page and Install it.

Second, go to this site and log in, then download the "RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin" -file. make shure you move/save this file to the same folder you keep your "flasher-3.5.exe" in.

Next step is to start the flasher3.5.exe, connect your USB-cable to the N900 whilts pressing "U"-key on it.
The N900 is supposed to be OFF while your doing this.
Keep pressing the "U"-key until your N900 shows a Nokia screen with the USB icon in the upper right corner, and XP has confirmed that a device has been connected with USB.

You can now get all h4xxor and stuff with teh flasher-3.5!

Run this command:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Sit back, think of a new, cool, hacker name like "crash overide" to call yourself, as the flasher-3.5 works its magic.

This will flash ONLY the kernel back to the original Nokia kernel, keeping all your other stuff untouched. (right? got me out of bootbrick, atleast.)

also, check out this wiki for more info: Flashing and what not

Before this could be done for me, I had to update my motherboard to get some new drivers to manage the USB-ports, as I had to install another HDD with XP on it.

Im rambling now. so happy it worked out, even thou it costed me half a day.

Good luck everybody

even after pressing the u button in switching ma fone.. i am still getting the u boot menu.. so i am not able to flash it .
help pls
