I have this problem also, any help appreciated..

I was starting to think that i was the only unlucky one.
How did it happened to you?Maybe we can find a pattern..

Some feedback more:
Tried loooots of combinations.Xp mode on windows 7 x64,ubuntu 32bit live cd,ubuntu 64bit fresh install,fresh xp pro sp3 vm,archlinux with flasher installed from aur,with U button pressed for more than 10mins,without the U button pressed (..just in case),battery on/off,with pc suite,nsu installed,without them etc etc.Unfortunately nothing seems to work.
It just keeps on rebooting on the dimmed nokia screen without the usb logo.Sometimes when its not plugged in,it reboots with a bright nokia screen (like its going to boot normally)and then it keeps on rebooting for a couple of times untill it shuts down eventually.

I also (now i know stupidly) tried to unistall power kernel via app manager, got message to say to uninstall need to use a seperate program, thought ok,will do it later, then was going bed so turned off phone, plugged it in to charge and it kept looping round on the first nokia screen vibrating once (as when you turn phone on) showing bright white nokia screnn and then looping again... am currently trying ot follow this to see if it works: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...LP/td-p/672328

or is the link something you have already tried....

So uninstalling via the separate uninstaller is a no go.At least we ve learned something

Hmm,6 pages so far..hope it helps.Will try as soon as i wake up tommorow.Thanx for the info,i ll come back with feedback.

thanks, important stuff is on 2/3/4 page of that thread, if i try b4 will also feedback...

tried it, doesnt work - still wont recognise phone, just says suitable USB device not found in ubuntu 9.10 vmware player.....

This is not new. There have been hundreds of threads like this one.

The correct starting place is the Wiki, not some thread.

You will find that the line about suitable USB is expected and is probably a sign that you are on the right track.

Note that I said probably.

Yeap,nothing new in there too


Can you point to some of them or the appropriate wiki page?

The line of suitable usb?What do you mean by that?

Some improvement here..
Today i got the phone to a nokia care center,they told me that they cant do anything and that they can sent it to nokia for repair.
Besides that,bought a new charger and returned home with the phone,for a final shot,
Left the phone to charge for about a hour.The phone kept on rebooting(bright nokia screen WITH the usb logo) while charging.While rebooting i got this screen a couple of times


Changed from charger to usb cable and the phone seems to be recognised by ubuntu.lsusb sees that the phone is connected.Flasher can also communicate with the phone since i can set it to r&d mode,but not being able to flash it till now.
Trying everything from scratch,hope flash is close..

@Luz
Charge the phone for more than an hour with the charger and try again,maybe this will help.
