I found a bunch of cellphones in a dumpster dive and among them an N900. It seems like quite a nice little device, and I would like to get it working if I can.

The USB port was missing but luckily the pads were all intact, and a quick trip to eBay and the application of hot air and solder paste gave me a new USB port and the following when connected:

Code:
[ 1278.776096] usb 2-1: new high-speed USB device number 4 using ehci-pci
[ 1278.909411] usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0421, idProduct=01c7
[ 1278.909417] usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[ 1278.909421] usb 2-1: Product: N900 (Storage Mode)
[ 1278.909424] usb 2-1: Manufacturer: Nokia
[ 1278.909427] usb 2-1: SerialNumber: 1234567890
[ 1278.910833] usb-storage 2-1:1.0: USB Mass Storage device detected
[ 1278.910920] scsi6 : usb-storage 2-1:1.0
[ 1279.908932] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access     Nokia    N900              031 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
[ 1279.909409] scsi 6:0:0:1: Direct-Access     Nokia    N900              031 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
[ 1279.913195] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg2 type 0
[ 1279.913649] sd 6:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0
[ 1279.917161] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
[ 1279.919019] sd 6:0:0:1: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk
It boots, but stops at a screen saying "Enter lock code"
I tried the default codes listed on here with no success, and am not sure what to do at this point.

I get the impression that a full re-flash may reset the code and let me use it, but all the links for flash tools and firmware point to a Nokia website which doesn't seem to work anymore.

Can someone help with 1) confirming if reflashing will actually solve the problem and 2) let me know where to find firmware now that Nokia's website seems to be down.
