I couldn't wait to get home to play with my Nokia N900. It was all fine until I played with the camera. 'Operation Failed' I thought no big deal so I restarted the phone; Same results. Then I thought its the software so I updated the firmware. It FROZE AT 1 SEC REMAINING OF THE SECOND PHASE!! Now I dont know what to do...

Remove the battery and re-insert it. Try charging it again directly using the charger instead of the USB cable. The device will flash yellow during charging and green when done.

If I recall correctly, the PC Suite does not flash the N900. Are you using XP? If the Nokia Software Updater doesn't work for you, take a look here

To make sure the battery is fully charged, I'd suggest putting your N900's battery into your 5800 handset and charge it to full. Then swap it back into the N900

same problem i had mate. 1 second left on NSU and then thats it.

it seems like this is gonna be a problem for a lot of N900 users. NSU bricks some of the phones.

im gonna test tonight another battery and see if it works to. i think nokia need to make some sort of recovery proccess as this isnt working out.


try this. put your 5800 fully charged battery in your n900.
then
1. remove battery
2. connect USB cable
3. start flasher-3.5 from command line
4. insert battery
5. flashing starts
