This is it. Solved, done. I just could not read this correctly.
Remove battery.
Start flasher.
Connect usb cable.
Insert battery. (Now it is seen by kernel and dmesg shows it)

I just didn't understand that it makes difference which order usb is connected and battery is inserted.

And then repeat until success. For me it took seven tries.

Now I fully believe N900 is unbrickable (until I found method to brick it ).

It makes no difference if those steps are done in 300ms time period :-)

Probably the only SW way how to brick N900 is to erase CAL partition... Erasing anything else can be fixed by cold-flashing. N900 is basically unbrickable if you have working USB port.

Hi explit,
It has been a while since I logged in.
Actually, I'm planning to come to Berlin by mid-July this year. Can you please tell me if you'll be there ?
2 years after your response, I finally found a way to come all the way from France.
I'd like - as said in my previous post - to flash my N900 with F-Bus/Mbus Cable and UFS/HWK Flasher-Box.
After all those years, I'm still hoping to save my N900.
