Hey I have a N900 US version.. It keeps rebooting.. I want to try reflashing the eMMC and re installing the firmware..

A few questions:
Will it work with windows 7 x64 if I disable driver signature enforcement?
The guide says to flash it with the vanilla version. Should I use this version or the US version? OR is it that I flash the eMMC with the Vanilla then install the US firmware?

I had no luck using Windows 7 64 Bit. It wouldn't properly connect to the phone, though the binary did run. I am not sure why, played around with it for 15 minutes before grabbing the .tar.gz file and just running that in my 64 bit linux install. I don't use windows very often, just was trying out tethering with PC Suite when I decided to reflash.

I have the same issue, reboots all the time (every hour or so, sometimes alot more often). I reflashed the eMMC and tried every firmware there (US, North-African, and the international one). I reflashed the eMMC everytime and had no luck with any of them.

damn... this is so annoying...

There is a guy on the nokia forums that reflashed his firmware and got his phone working... Not sure if it's permanent.. I'm waiting for his reply to check if he got his phone working

Well, if you have Vista, it will work fine.

Try this

NSU didn't work for me, I used the flasher-3.5.exe tool and steps outlined on mobile-geeks.com. Wouldn't complete the flash under Windows 7, even running the flasher app in XP compatibility mode, so ran it in an XP VM under win7 (under VMware Workstation) and worked fine. I used the USA ROM version for an N900 I purchased here in US.

did you have problems with reboots and did it get fixed or not?

I didn't have problems with reboots. I had a 3g/3.5g signal (T-Mo US) and was getting data in all apps tested, but not in browser. Couldn't figure out the problem across various GPRS settings and the few available browser settings, so just reflashed and then all worked.

Have encountered no other problems in a day of heavy use, just what I believe are missing features.

I wanted to flash my n900 in windows 7 x64 with flasher tool v3.5. I used all the command lines as mentioned in the flashing wiki but always get the same message which iam not sure at all. here is the screen shot...




Please help me. cheers

I didnt try to do it on my usual laptop... I had to use my old 32bit vista laptop to flash it
