I need help. Yesterday when I woke up my n900 was off. I tried to turn it on and just the nokia logo appeared then the dots but only for one second the most. After that the phone does black then it shuts down. Everytime I turn it on this happens. I did everything possible. I am using windows XP 32-bit. I downloaded flasher 3.5. I did the enable-rd-mode. I did the disable-rd-mode...nothing happens. I downloaded the vanilla file nothing happens. My computer does recognize the phone but when I put this "flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R" the phone restarts and it says "device not found"
Please note. I spent more than 6 hours trying to figure this out but I need help.
I tried this:
You better connect phone to computer and then take out battery so power is gone. So while phone connected you press u on the phone and insert battery at the SAME time, now you should see the usb icon in upper right on your phone screen not with much light, you are now ready to run flash commands. Remember to save the two files for flashing (OS and eMMC vanilla content) in same folder as flasher tool. http://forums.internettablettalk.com...ad.php?t=35631
Flashing tool: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php
OS and eMMC files: http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php
Start flasher and copy then paste in command:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
When done phone reboots amd locks again you flash OS with command:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Did you start the flasher app on your computer first, before you powered up the N900 and pressed the "U" key to get into flashing mode?
Try starting the flasher app first (it will tell you device not found, waiting for device - or some such thing), THEN power your N900 + U key, THEN plug it into your computer's USB port. If all goes well, flashed should pick up the N900 and start flashing it.

When I run flash via Linux, it sits waiting for a connection. I connect the phone (off) and press the power button. It then begins to flash the phone.
My guess is either your windows driver is screwed up, or your phone is. I hope it's windows. Good luck!
