Back to maemo

[Gengorek]

Hello
I have some problem with my N900 I do not know how to come back to maemo, I wonted to try meego, I chose Native install (do not know why I did it) unfortunately when I finish only Linux logo appear and when I try to come back to maemo N900 stuck during flashing. I am getting this information:

USB device found found at bus 001, device address 010.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2101
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': <no version>
Booting device into flash mode.
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

then notching, phone restart and I can see some white square on the screen, something like terminal, I can use it for a while then handset turns off.
I already tried unplugging and plugging phone back, during that, I was changing USB port, and some other variations, nothing, please help.

Booting device into flash mode.

It looks like you are trying to flash the eMMC image first. As this flashing requires Maemo to boot, you have to flash the normal (FIASCO) image with the rootfs + kernel first. After you have flashed the rootfs + kernel, you can then flash the eMMC (flashing the eMMC will boot the kernel/system into some "flashing" mode, as indicated by the message quoted above).

Here's how you do it:


Flash the FIASCO image (rootfs + kernel)
Flash the eMMC image (but read below for a warning!)
...
PROFIT!!!


Please be aware that flashing the eMMC image removes all your data from the internal flash (i.e. the ~ 32 GB VFAT partition). If you did not modify the internal flash partitioning, you can skip flashing the eMMC and only flash the rootfs / kernel.

If you only overwrote the Maemo kernel with the Meego kernel, you can even only flash the kernel from the FIASCO image alone without even touching the rootfs, thereby retaining (and restoring access to) your previously installed Maemo 5 system.

Try only flashing the kernel first, and then restart to see if your system comes back to life:

For atilla I was traying win7 win xp and Ubuntu Linux and all the same, Thp I have got only one question what is that fiasco image, becosue i don't realy understend how to get it, it looks like for me that Fisco image is just eMMC image, if not how to get it, thx for interesting guys


I trayed with that file "RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin" I put

the fiasco image is the basic os/firmware image.
the emmc is for the mass storage.
can you post here the name?
under win 7 there are many problems with flashing.
have you read the wiki?
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware
there are links for the right files too

The right fiasco image and command (you are using the eMMC image !) :

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R
