Then i tried flasher, but when connecting the USB while holding the U Button.. seems NOT to work!, the USB icon will not appear in right top screen!

Now i picked up a older laptop with XP on it, same method, holding U while usb.. XP recognize as Nokia flasher something (right bottom corner of the screen) then it say's.. Hardware won't work properly, and still NO usb icon on the nokia! Tried all the USB port's.. Damnit, this all because NSU failed to work :/

Is the battery fully charged? The N900 won't switch into USB flashing mode unless the battery is sufficiently charged.

No, but something might break compatibility with some apps (no specifics... it just got released...)

I'm just holding off because my rootfs is below 42 MB (http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_5/PR1.1.1) and I can't be bothered to uninstall anything.

Anywho, I've already broke some stuff, and just looking for another excuse to re-flash.

It is charged.. Well, it was before I wanted to update!... And how can i charge it now?! Because all it does (when in adapter, yes i tried it) is just reboot after few second.. (That buzzing noise.. ) Yellow light is on tho

You may need to flash the eMMC as well then. Power off the N900 and connect it via USB first - it should start up in mass storage mode, allowing you to backup the data from the MyDocs folder before you reflash it.

You'll need to charge it externally then - either in a compatible phone (e.g. Nokia 5800) or a separate battery charger (you can pick them up cheaply on ebay).

How do I know if it's holding me back from updating? when I run apt-get upgrade it says this:

The following packages have been kept back:
hildon-initscripts

What's that??

Just entered my product code into the flasher tool binary files website.

I was offered all the available binaries, and have downloaded the Global binary.

For everyones information, there are inly three new binaries available:

USA: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin
MENA: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin
Global: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

There is no, I repeat, NO UK variant of the firmware available. The latest UK version is still:

UK: RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.203.2_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin

The question is, will I damage my phone if I try to install the Global binary onto my (UK) hardware?

I suspect that Vodafone is to blame - they will be developing the UK unbranded version in parallel with the UK Vodafone version, and if the Vodafone version gets held up in approvals then us unbranded users will also get hit
