you are climbing into a tree with your butt first. (and you don't really understand raws that well).

only thing missing from you are the right parameters for the raw file. workflow is following:

1. raw file is captured
2. parameters are set
3. conversion
4. image file you can see with your raw viewer, image viewer, you name it.

the raw file is just a bunch of bytes with values from 0 to 254 from each sensing instance. it isn't a image file but with appropriate viewer that creates the parameters by itself you can look at it. those viewers preferably read the camera settings from raw data and use those as default settings. there are no camera settings for n900's module available I'd quess...

so only thing you would need is number 2. from nokia (or from sensor module manufacturer?).

e: the raw file is exactly the same that default camera app gets and converts it to image you can see.
