Help!!! N900 boot loop
 
I need some help. I'm having the boot loop problem with my n900. The problem with mine is I can't even keep it off. As soon as the battery goes in, it automatically turns on and starts the loop. When I press "u" I don't ever get a usb symbol, so I can't reflash. I've tried plugging it into windows 7, vista, and xp. My batteries are fully charged, I have 2 of them and I bought a wall charger to make sure they were charged. Is there any other way for me to get this thing flashed?

bro have you tried:
remove battery
press 'u'
start flasher program on pc
connect cable
insert battery?

thats all i can advise bro, i was bricked in a different way a few months ago, and it took me ages to get it into flashing mode

Thanks for the help I just tried that method, still no usb symbol on the phone. one thing I notice is with battery out and i plug in the usb I get a quick yellow light. But with the battery in while its looping and I plug in the usb theres nothing.

When you hold "U' keep holding it till Windows installs drivers

I still think you're doing it wrong. Put flasher running, plug usb and keep keyboard slide open and push U from n900, not from pc and keep holding looooong time. If it still doesnt work its totally screwed.

lol I understand push the "u" on the n900 and not the pc. the problem is I can't keep the phone off so that I can initially boot it up by holding "u".

why would you think I didn't read his post accurately. Obviously I had to remove the battery to even be reinserting it
