Hi everyone....

Im trying to fixed my nokia n900 that caught a virus the day before yesterday, I think it came in a program called h-e-n usb that i downloaded to try from the extras catalogs... .. anyway...

I have flashed my n900 before without any trouble, but this time im going trought a really hard time, dont know why?

The Flasher windows comand keeps telling me that the device is not recognized usb?

I Repeat every step a few times already, it has work before, but this time im stuck

I installled flasher-3.5, runn it like always, have the waitting message come up, plug the phone with the "u" hold up, USB logo came up on the screen.... when to the command, flasher-3.5 -F VANILLA -f
NOTHING!!!... it says device not recognized, waitting for suitable device....

Another thing I tried, with the USB logo on the screen, close the comand, opened again, run the procedura again, flasher-3.5 -F etc... -f, and enter.... USB logo desapears from the screen as soon as I ENTER, and message nor recognized usb, waitting for proper usb device message from Comand apear again

havent try to load first the COMBINED RX51, always the VAINILLA first....

then i came up on a blog with the same problem, and a procedure that said that unistalling the Nokia Cable Driver, and follow as a result have this:

1.- so... i uninstalled the OVI, PC suit, Software Updater, un case they are making a conflict.
2.- Unistall the cable driver, and run again the cmd, in -i mode to see the conection come up...
3.- with the device manager open, saw a few things: Disk drives show: SD1 Device witch I think is the nokia n900 under flash mode
4.- plug the n900 holding the u, windows new hardware appear, i ignore it as advised.
5.- installed the cable driver that i downloaded from nokia link, a notice came up from this procedure during install, i ignore it as well, and finished the instalation. all god untill now.
6.- ? Nokia n900 (update mode) appear under network adapter with the question mark... all good untill now. command still in waitting...
7.- i did bought, cancel in one ocacion the windows new hardware windown, and the other time when trought with the offer to find driver... bought times happed the same:
looks for NOKIA USB ROOM DRIVER, BUT DOESNT INSTALLLED IT ANYWHARE, but the 2 drivers that get installed are: Nokia BB5 ADL PARENT, AND LOADER OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT....
8.- for a second the cdm recognizes the device!!!.. and this comes up:
