I found out the hard way that you can use BackupMenu when everything else fails but you need have Fresh N900 BackupMenu images beforehand.

You can flash using pins beneath battery (aka serial). In fact, amongst them are USB D+/D- pins, You can use them to do cold reflash. Search, there are few topics here with pictures showing which pins are for what.
CAUTION! D+/D- pins beneath battery are connected *directly* to chip, without any protection circuit (as opposed to normal USB port). It means that You need to proceed with HIGH caution - any static, shortcut and whatsnot will go *directly* to chip.
For using as emergency flashing solution, You should be ok - but, for example, using this pins to make do-it-yourself general purpose usb port (as replacement for broken one), isn't great idea, probably.

and i was uninstalling NITDroid and well..it screwed my Maemo also.
So now, is there anyway possible to reflash this thing or im just out of luck?
