It will tell you it's waiting for a device. Attach your N900 to the cable and hold the u key down the entire time even while its going through its reboot loop. After a couple of iterations the flasher tool will "grab" it and start flashing it.

SOLUTION!!!!!-!!!WOOT WOOT !!!

1.Find somebody with either the same phone n900 or the nokia x5800 or go buy an external charger to charge your battery for your phone.

i didnt belive these next 2 statements untill i tryed it.

Your n900 is unable to charge your battery in this state!!

You are unable to flash your phone with less then over half a battery!!!

2. Once you have charged your battery remove it and sit it on your side.

Prepare your computer for a re-flashing the n900.

3.You must install flasher 3.5. There are tutorials for installing this to windows linux and mac on this site.
3.1.Download and install the latest version of Flasher e.g.
maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe


4.Download the firmware for your n900 save this in a memorable place.

Connecting your phone to computer.

5.With the battery still removed hook your computer up to the n900 using the usb data cable.

Running flasher "haha" 3.5

6. Run the flashing application on computer. Like i said befor i will post the exact details when i get home

This application will stop and say its waiting to find the device that you want to flash.

Back to the phone
7.now with your phone all ready plugged into the computer open the keyboard and hold the "u" button and insert the battery while holding the "u" button. keep holding the u button untill you can see a very faint usb sign in the top right of the screen. This will put the phone into flashing mode aka R&D mode.

Warning you can not enter R&D mode with little battery must be full or nearly full.

The computer should then recognize your n900 and start to do stuff wait for this to finish. on my computer it only took 1 minuet 30 seconds ruffley. but be patiant dont rush it dont stop half way through dont unplugg make sure it has completly stoped before unplugging.

reboot the n900 walla

You may find that your sim card is no longer recognised do not panic this is just because you need to update your n900 . Do this by either connecting to wireless lan at your home and using the app manager update accross the internet or plugging the phone into the computer and using the nokia suite to update it over the internet. The latter i have not tested.

Laughingstok you wont get my thansk since your attitude is not for this forum. At least not for my thread.

Ty to everyone who tried to helping me. And ppl plz dont just flash your phone to leaked 1.2 .. As you can see it has problems and maybe destroys your phone.
