I know there's a thousand threads about n900's not turning on bla bla blaaaaa. So please don't tell me to do a search because i've just spent the last hour doing so and found no answer. This n900 came from a friend who initially lost it, had another handset sent to him by voda and then he found the first handset again but never used it since. Anyway, my bird works for voda and she checked the imei number to see if its on their blacklist but it isn't.. So the problem.. phone switches on, Nokia appears on the screen followed by the dots, freezes then turns off. I've flashed both images like 10 times with no difference. Any idea's anyone?? The phone worked fine before it was lost so there's no reason it shouldn't work now right?
Thanks in advance

Off the top of my head..... battery ok? does it enter charging mode when switched off?

Battery's fine, i've tried 2 fully charged ones. When ya plug it in it just lights up with nokia on the screen, goes off then lights up again then goes n keeps doing it untill u unplug it?

just a simpel?
wich os you r using

I would try r&d mode with watchdog etc disabled (if the n900 allows) and try to boot.

Have you tried to flash just the FIASCO image instead of both FIASCO and eMMC?

No idea what that means but i'll check it out lol Thanks

No i haven't, but surely it won't make a difference? I mean i've flashed them both already? I'll certainly try tho

To change to R&D mode you need to have flasher installed and run:

In linux:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode

In windows
flasher-3.5.exe --enable-rd-mode

In case it boots up in this mode, you should take a look to this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...82#post1047282

So plug phone in flash mode and run that code in flasher! Sounds easy peasy, i'll try it tonight n report back
