Hi everyone

I need your help. I was making a call and my N900 just froze and after that constantly rebooted. I took out the battery as I did not have time to have find a solution at that time and it stopped rebooting. I found the instructions on how to reflash but the problem is that I cant enter the USB mode (hold down u while connecting USB) I thought it might because of the battery but I have left it for 12 hours in charge with it constantly rebooting while connected but still no luck.

Second I have searched everywhere on how to get support from Nokia but I cant find that either

Can anyone help me with this one ?

Sadly Nokia wont help you....Did you used 64bit OS? Try with 32bit Windows or even better with Ubuntu

also some time battry port both (male and female) become loose and do not fix into each other. and device reboot and does not start.many people don't think in this way and send to some repair center and they are charged for nothing but bending the clips of battry only

if you think this is the the problem then be carefull while doing anything with your battry! you may break its clips or may become loosen.
Good luck!

Thank you guys for the suggestions but Im using 32 bit Windows XP but like I said I cant enter USB mode (holding down u while connecting the USB) because the phone reboots before finalizing the process.

The battery seems to be fine I just think it cant charge because the phone reboots constantly so the yellow light is shown for 1 second and then reboots.

is it rebooting while the phone is off???

cause if u shut it off and try to hold down the u key and connect to pc nothing happens?

It is constantly rebooting unless I remove the battery than it does nothing until I either turn it on or connect the usb (or charger) then it continues to reboot.

ok try this,

remove ur battery and hold down the powerkey for about 2 min and while holding down the powerkey put the battery back and see what happens,

if it still rebooting then

prepare a reflash on ur pc and when at the point no usb devise found waiting...

then hold down the u key and connect the phone and lets hope that will work

and by reflash i mean not including the emmc

Thank you for the suggestion again. I hope you are not making fun of me by letting me hold the power button for 2 minutes with no battery in

Anyway I tried your suggestion with the Flasher waiting state but still the same..

Is my phone really dead and no way to save it ?

My guess is that you need a fully charged battery and you don't have one. This is a time where having spent $10 or so on an independent charger and a few dollars on an extra battery would come in handy.

I wonder if your power button is stuck, hence the reason why it tries to boot as soon as you plug in the USB or charger.

Get it to a repair centre first before you decide it's dead. It may just be a case of releasing a stuck power button.

As for battery problems. If you've got a mate with another N900 (slim chance) or a 5800 (more chance) try their battery in your phone.
