Hi folks,

Could anyone of you give me hints on how to solve the following issue.
I wanted to give a try to Nitdroid on my N900, and everything worked fine.
After that, I wanted to restore a previous backup, using Backupmenu, (which I've already performed successfully in the past).
This time however, I did not realized my battery was almost empty, and the restore process suddenly interrupted.

When I tried to reboot the phone, it gave me the following kernel panic upon the boot process:
Code:
...
Mounted root (ubifs filesystem)
Freeing init memory: 140K
Warning: Unable to open an initial console
Failed to execute /sbin/preinit. Attempting defaults
kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init= option to kernel
Anyway, the big problem is I cannot flash anymore the device:

This is the ouput of the flasher:

Code:
slashme@rm3l-LINUX:~/Desktop/N900$ sudo  flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
[sudo] password for slashme: 
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
It remains stuck at this point, the phone keeps rebooting and showing the kernel panic message and it appears it is not recognized anymore as a new device in my linux laptop.

Anyone can help? What can I do? Is there any other way to reflash the device?

Thanks y'all.

Was getting this self same message when trying to reflash 2 weeks ago.
I was following the wiki and reflashing the EMMC first, but as indicated by the message, it wouldn't boot into flash mode.

Eventually I found a small paragraph in the wiki that tells you if you get problems with the EMMC flash, flash the O/S image first without the reboot switch (-R) and then flash the EMMC afterwards, again without the (-R). Then follow up with another flash of the O/S image. Doing it this way solved the problem.

Hi,

I finally managed to reflash the device by making use of a fully-charged battery instead.

Thanks anyway for your hints.
