A way to flash without USB?
 
Is there any way to flash the N900 without USB connection? As my plugin of my N900 is broken.

Is there an alternative way?

Install backupmenu, acquire a backup of recently reflashed phone to your memory card and restore.

Alright, so those are 2 files, help me out a little.

Where exactly do I put them,
How high are the changes if any hardware of my N900 will damage,
Info.. ? :D

Read all about it here, #8 by mrsellout.

The reboot with keyboard open, fires up BackupMenu
so you can restore the 2 files, but first install BackupMenu

Still backupmenu doesn't "backup" kernel, what to do if kernel is messed up?

Hmm.. this might be a problem.

I have some old boot files, + nitdroid, and I simply wanted to get rid of them.

I guess this won't be happening? :(

What do you consider kernel? Kernel images from /boot and kernel libraries from /lib are backupped...
