Hey everyone!

Here's my problem.I enabled the extras dev repo and installed a linux power kernel+settings and some other stuff.After a while xorg started hitting 100% cpu usage,so i suspected that something from the extras dev repo was to blame.
I started uninstalling things and when i tried to uninstall the linux power kernel (from the separate uninstaller that it created)i got an error that the original nokia kernel could not be restored(..or something similar,cant remember the exact words).When i rebooted the device,it simply wouldnt boot.
Time to flash i thought.Well the problem is that i cant get it to flashing mode(dimmed screen with nokia logo and the usb logo on top right).I tried multiple times,pulled battery off etc,i can only get the dimmed nokia screen without the usb logo.
The flasher stays on "Suitable USB device not found, waiting."
Any ideas?
I tried on 2 computers with windows 7 x64 and got this when i plugged n900

where on earth can i get the Nokia USB ROM driver?Installed NSU,no luck.Installed/uninstalled pc suite,no luck there too.
There are ubuntu and archlinux boxes waiting in case someone thinks that the flash will work on linux and gives me some hints about it.

I've just reflashed with Ubuntu Live CD after a multitude of problems on Windows Xp - just do it! It works straight out of the box with Ubuntu and is very easy.

Windows 7 X64 doesn't really work. Windows XP is more reliable, you could use a virtual machine such as Sun Virtualbox to do it.

remove the battery
run the flash command and when it says "waiting" put the battery again with the usb previously plugged
it works for me

Rebooting with crossed fingers!

Installed a fresh copy of xp pro3 on vmware,just to flash n900,got the same "nokia usb rom"driver not found error
I have only installed NSU though,no idea if it matters.

under win 7 x64 try the Virtual PC mode with Win XP. In the XP-Mode plug in the USB connection from your phone to the PC. After the sound that came when you plug in a USB device you have to assign the USB-Connection from WIN 7 to the virtual Win-Xp Mode with the bar on top of the screen in Win-XP Mode.

Are you holding down the "U" key until the USB logo appears?

Yeap.till my finger starts to numb,no luck.
Is it reasonable to need more than say 8-9 minutes to work?
