I reflashed my N900 today cuz I was having THIS problem. but it came back with worse problem "general error". can't make calls or send/receive sms. says general error. IMEI doesn't show too buy pressing *#06#. I dun know wut else is screwed. I tried flashing again but same thing without change.

will the hard reset help? reflash with the 2 bin files?
Plz I just bought this phone after I lost my previous N900 last month, I dun wanna lose this one too.

thanx in advance,

What firmware did you flash with? Have you tried flashing the eMMC as well as the firmware?

I restored backupmenu in the 1st time b4 this happened. but the file "/var/cache/apt" was broken somehow the reason why I reflashed the second time then this problem appeared "general error" haven't restored anything eversince

EDIT: owh yea, the 2nd time I restored the normal backup to get my contacts back. but there the problem was still the same.

try re-flash your eMMC first before you flash your filmware....remember not to include the "-R" on your command on flashing your eMMC....after you have reflash your eMMC,take out the battery for 10 seconds then insert it back before you start flashing your filmware....do not reboot/turn on your device between those flashing...

Thanx a lot brotha, I wanted such explanation
so 1st I'll flash the eMMC without the -R at the end
2nd, take out the battery for 10 seconds then insert it back, no reboot
then flash the frimware. shall I include the -R in this one?

the firmware you flashed with is PR1.2. if the phone was on 1.3 then the reason might be this.

yes second time you should include -R

BTW i don't understand the concept of removing the battery.

EDIT: just for your info -R is for restarting the phone .
