hi i'm fabio.
at first i would say sorry for my english if i wrong(i'm italian)

i have a little(little for jocking...) problem with my nokia n900.
i don't have succes to update my little monster

i turn on my phone and link the usb cable in order to have my n900 connected with pc-suite mode.

i open the nokia software updater(NSU for shorten) and start the procedure for updating.

you know that at certain point the NSU disconnect the phone and riconnect it(in this time the phone screen become white with nokia written and the usb connect symbol).

well,when this happens my computer don't recognise the phone emitting the classic sound of a periferic not recognised...and the updating stop to work and NSU give me a window with written on that the updating is failed because the connection were lost.

somebody can help me?
whai i have to do?

is this possible because i haven't the original nokia kernel?because when i put out the battery and re-put it and turn on the phone it giv me a write that says that my original kernel were NOT load...

another things...i have the rootfs full...i try to do apt-get autoclean but the fone "says" to me that i have to do it manually with DPKG...now i'm not capable to use DPKG...there's some good souls that can give me a little list of commando to do with DPKG to make free my rootfs?

please help me..i'm really sad..

i want my n900 working...

thanks to all,
Fabio

Hi,

What OS are you using on your computer? I ask, beacuse i had similar USB connection problems with another nokia devices (5800). IMHO that might be problem with NSU drivers.

Here is solution for death n900: http://danlynch.org/blog/2010/01/flashing-n900/

You already said everything, rootfs full.
if you can't boot your device, I thumbs up also for a flash.
