Use the command line flash to reflash just the kernel back to the original kernelCode:flasher-3.5 -f --flash-only=kernel -R -F <firmware-image>
How to get N900 flasher to work in Windows 7 64-bit (x64).
- Install Flasher 3.5 - http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php
- Download libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip - http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/
- Press U while starting N900 and attach USB
- Wait for the original driver to install.
- Run inf-wizard.exe (bin folder in zip) - Run as Administrator
- Press "Next"
- Search in list and select "0x0421 - 0x0105 - Nokia N900 (Update Mode)"
- Press "Next"
- Press "Next"
- Save .inf file
- Press "Install Now"
- Press "Install this driver software anyway" on warning message.
- You should get "Installation successful." and press OK.
- Check Windows Device Manager for "libusb-win32 devices", expand and verify "Nokia N900 (Update Mode)" can be found.
- Now you are ready to run Flasher 3.5 with your parameters.

As explained on the wiki pages there is no way to just "uninstall" a kernel, you need a kernel to boot.
Your system is in a bootloop which is a normal situation from having a broken root. The device will not charge in this state so it would be advised to charge your battery from another source.
Fully charge the battery from another source, this will also completely power down the device. Also make sure you use the same USB port on your PC as the last time you flashed.

Multiboot is deprecated. You also can't just install it like that it depends on other packages/images.
To tie in with the other thread you posted. You need to fix your repos with the mirrors and get application manager working. Randomly installing .debs to get things working is just going to make a unusable mess.

Own repo mirror, I would recommend a linux system.
But why? Repos are still online:

The screen keeps showing Nokia logo(with black screen in a loop)and reboot itself again and again.
At first, I thought the problem was normal that could be solved by rewriting the factory ROM&Emmc(Which always save me when I have a boot issue)
It is different this time !
I used the same factory Rom&Emmc as before. Exactly the same version of 'Flasher-3.5.exe' software.
However, N900 could never connect to my PC again.(32bit windows xp sp3 system/32bit win7 as well)
When I launch the 'flasher-3.5.exe' it can detect my N900 but quickly failed when boot it to 'Flash mode'.
I pressed 'U' keyboard and connect PC with usb cable. The usb icon was showing at the top-right corner of the screen, but Windows xp always says the usb cable is not connected.('N900 flash parent mode' or something)
Has everyone else experienced this situation ?
Is there a way I could save my N900 ?
-----
Update from 2018/10/1. Thanks for all your help.
My N900 is finally back.
It was something about the 'flash sequence'
As the factory reset files are divided in 'Emmc.bin' and 'Rom.bin', I usually flash Rom.bin after the Emmc.(That's what the Instruction said)
But in this case, I should actually start with the Rom.bin.
I coincidently flashed the Rom.bin file that brought my N900 back. Like the replys pointed out it was a driver issue. The 'flasher-3.5.exe' rejected N900 for preventing possible damage I guess. A several new pictures have been added to the attachment. Maybe someone could figure out a reason.
--
At the end, I would like to send my grateful to those who replied at this thread. I am a total newbie who has never been used Linux&Terminal command line before. (couldn't read them as well)
I couldn't get my N900 back without you. Thumb up
