recently my n900 has encountered a very weird problem. it is basically stuck on the Nokia logo screen. I have done a lot searching on the web and i have tried every method similar to this issue by other users, so far, no luck. I am able to flash both vanilla followed by the firmware but it does not start. I have also tried the cold flash method with 2nd.bin image and secondary.bin image files; however, for some odd reason, it only flashes the 2nd.bin file. i am suspecting that this is the real issue, but i am not sure if it is hardware related or something else?
The phone's HW number is 2204 and it does say the Nolo version on the screen, it does flash and everything else, but it does not boot.
Can anyone please help me with this situation? Also, does anyone know if i can flash a different os such as nitroid or something and then try to go back to maemo 5?
