Hi guys. Got some free time to continue recovering this N950.
Hurrian, can U (or someone else) provide full *noob* (with all steps/lines of code) instruction what I must to do now (see picture with phone recovering stage above) to loading Uniboot and "get a telnet console to the device before Harmattan starts up, clear /var/malf, and start figuring out" ? Phone still in the condition I left its in July. I read materials abt Uniboot here and here but still don't clearly understand all steps. I would be very grateful for the help to those who can spend their time for my problem.
Just get the latest ubiboot kernel, and then load it up with flasher in the following way;
sudo flasher -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 -l -b
Keep the USB cable connected, and when the device starts it will export the partitions from mmcblk0 to the PC host and also enable you to telnet in the device.
To fix/modify partitions, you can do that on the USB exports, or telnet in, umount the partitions from PC, mount them in the device and do stuff there.

Yep, that happens when your device does ~17 watchdog timeouts.
Try loading ubiboot (flasher -l) to get a telnet console to the device before Harmattan starts up, clear /var/malf, and start figuring out what needs to be done.
