N900 : Flash and... Fail ?
Hi guys !
First, I'm french so please excuse my english. Then the point is... I bought my second-hand N900 few weeks ago and I wanted to flash it, to restore default system. So I did. I know that the topic was said many times before, but the even if the issue seems to be the same, the solution I found doesnt seem working. I installed flasher-3.5, last version, and downloaded the "Third Maemo 5 Global release for Nokia N900", that is to say RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin I followed instructions, so I let my N900 power off and unplug and type (i'm on linux) sudo flasher3-5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R It says CMT complete, or something like that. I started my N900 and .. what ?! My Sim card wasnt regonized anymore. Try to move it again and again, not a sim card issue but a software one. I tried to re-flash and re-re-flash (with the same ROM), nothing. So I tried another ROM : Latest Vanilla version of the eMMC content for Nokia N900. Here it is : http://pastebin.com/WM0EE7S6 I still have this problem ... with the sim card and a red slash... Does someone know what to do ? |

Re: N900 : Flash and... Fail ?
The problem you had is that you flashed an old firmware image (PR1.1 I think). With one of the updates (PR1.2) Nokia updated the cell modem firmware which meant if you tried to run a old version the phone functions wouldn't work.
You have now flashed PR1.2, but PR1.3 is the latest firmware image, so I would recommend flashing again, the file you want is "RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin", then once you've done that you may want to considered updating to the CSSU which is some updates and bug fixes provided by Maemo community developers. |
