Hi guys,

I have the problem I upgraded the Firmware via air and everything looked okay. Now I have the problem that after I switch off the phone, it starts, ask for pin and the start screen appears, some applets are wrong positioned and then the phone reboot (endless loop).

Where can I find the firmware to reflash my phone. PC Suite updater can't find my phone and I guess I have to use flasher 3.5.

But where do I find the firmware for reflash?

Thanks

Update
P.S: I found a link to the page
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php
but the page id dead too and only shows an error
Any alternative download sources?

I fixed it the following way

- use flasher to set R&D mode -> still rebooting
- set R&D flag no-lifeguard-reset -> Phone came up but could not reset the "assign to grid" which cause the reboot as I could not use the screen
- after the webpage http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php was still down I removed the battery over night
- next morning the phone asked for region and setting when switched on
- now I was able to use PC Suite to reload the firmware
- restored my last backup

Phone is now working okay but I lost all setting since the last backup :-(
