Hello guys,
Today as soon as I have seen the kernel-power 51 in the devel,I tried upgrading with apt-get .Every thing went smooth and I have upgraded smoothly.
I don't really knoe about what crossed my mind but I executed sudo apt-get dist-upgrade command.It said 433 mb space will be freed and some 3000 kb will be downloaded.I happily said yes and it took some time and switched it self off after some time.
Then I thought some thing is amiss I started to flash from my Ubuntu system but it struck at usb device not found.Battery was full.Even I wanted to hold the "U" key all thorough the procedure but It stopped at the same line usb device not found.Then I tried charging the phone with wall charger.Now its in reboot loop.

So guys please suggest me what I should be doing and get my phone life back



Thanks in advance.

Edit. changing the battery solved my problem.Thanks all.

wait until you see the NOLO screen ("NOKIA") and a small USB symbol on top right,
flasher on PC should recognize the N900 and do the flashing

@udaychaitanya16,

I see two possibilities:

1. you are using Windows (64-bit?). makes everything unnecessarily complicated, OR

2. your USB port does not work reliably (welcome to the club!

One question:
What did you expect when doing dist-upgrade? upgrade to Maemo6 or what?

Guys ,
1. I have tried cold flashing also but no luck.It said that boot loader has been installed.
2. Then I tried to flash the vanilla image , combined image but nothing happens .It says the same thing "Suitable usb device not found waiting"
3. I tried all the usb ports in my PC
4. If somebody tells me the use case of rescue os of NIN101 I will try that too.Is it suitable for me?

dist-upgrade is not recommended in most cases. You might find discussions if you did a Power Search for dist-upgrade. I have successfully used it from time to time here, but it has been regarded as risky and unnecessary for a long time.
