it seems like this is gonna be a problem for a lot of N900 users. NSU bricks some of the phones.

im gonna test tonight another battery and see if it works to. i think nokia need to make some sort of recovery proccess as this isnt working out.


try this. put your 5800 fully charged battery in your n900.
then
1. remove battery
2. connect USB cable
3. start flasher-3.5 from command line
4. insert battery
5. flashing starts
How do I know its flashing? Its showing NOKIA on the screen

If it's flashing, you should be able to see the 'USB' icon on top-right of the screen then a second later it disappeared. The flasher should give you the progress (at least on Linux it does).

im not sure what it does on the nokia screen but this tube video will show you what happens when the flasher app is flashing your phone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw2ZMyvzg6M?


if you entered this command into the flasher -R it will restart you phone as soon its finished flashing.

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R




let us know how u went. my friend is coming over in 2.5 hours so we can try flashing my phone with his battery.

The USB icon is still there in the top right corner. This is what I did:

I downloaded the flasher and the .bin

I istalled the flasher and ran cmd

then i changed he directory

held down the u on the keypad and plug in the usb and waited until the usb stayed

let go of the usb and then i ran the binary

the screen is still showing NOKIA and the usb icon is still in the top right corner
