Hello
I am trying to flash my Nokia N900, but I have stuck at one moment.
I was using this instructions :
http://mynokiablog.com/2010/01/03/ho...et-nokia-n900/
I did everything through those instructions step by step but at step 7 cmd writes "Suitable USB device not found, waiting"
What should I do now ?

You can visit wiki.maemo.org and look for an article called "Updating the Tablet Firmware". There will be a complete tutorial with YouTube videos to guide you.

thanks for reply
could you tell me may I unplug my N900 from PC when I am flashing it ?
the process is paused now cmd waits for "suitable USB device" will it be harmful for phone to unplug USB at this moment, my phone's OS was already damaged I think, phone even gave me notification that internal memory format was not supported.

It is not okay to unplug it while the actual flashing process is taking place (i.e. unplugging it during the actual flashing activity).

It is okay that the flasher app says "suitable USB device not found, waiting..." because it simply says that it's waiting for you to plug it.

Do you use Windows 7 64 bit? I remember reading about a common problem with driver signatures.

The wiki mentions it under "Issues with 64-bit Windows and Workarounds" at the middle of the page.

I have already plugged in.
But I think the problem is because of internal memory format.
Because phone gave me notification that internal memory format was unsupported.
Maybe I should have formatted it before flashing ?
This problem was started on second try, on first try I flashed CMT successfully but I stuck at Raw data transfer.

Please do this. We won't go into flashing yet.

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Plug the N900 to your computer while it is turned on.
3. On your N900, you will see a prompt (Mass Storage Mode or PC Suite Mode). Select Mass Storage Mode.
4. In Device Manager, under "Disk Drives", can you expand it by clicking on the arrow button and post the screenshot?
5. Eject the N900 (Safely Remove Drive) after posting the screenshot.

...and again...

1. Open Device Manager.
2. Plug the N900 to your computer while it is turned on.
3. On your N900, you will see a prompt (Mass Storage Mode or PC Suite Mode). Select PC Suite Mode. If this is the first time you did this, you should see something that is being installed (there will be a pop-up). Looks like this:



4. In Device Manager, under "Disk Drives", can you expand it by clicking on the arrow button and post the screenshot? It should look something like this:

This is easily solved. I uploaded a YouTube video tutorial for this, based off from what I have read in the forums. (I know the OP has 32-bit, but just wanted to mention this)

@George

You may want to watch the YouTube video tutorial in the Wiki Page. There are two YouTube videos there. Watch the version that has PIP (Picture-in-Picture) so that you can see what is being done to the phone, as well as to the computer, at the same time.
