This morning, after charging overnight, my N900 decided to reboot itself.. All went downhill from here - insane stability issues - reboots,freezes etc etc... At some point it even stopped responding at all - it could load up to Nokia screen and then reboot into a endless reboot-cycle. I was really hoping this to be a software issue so I reflashed the device with PR 1.3, but sadly the problems persist... Phone keeps rebooting randomly either while loading up, being on standby on desktop or while loading something. The saddest part of all is that warranty expired _4_ days ago

Phone was running on 950mhz ideal with swappolube on proposed settings.

At the moment I am trying to get a lucky stability window and copy everything from EMMC so I can do a complete reflash, but I really doubt that will work.

Any suggestions on how to fix this, or at least what MIGHT have caused this would be greatly appreciated.

Underclocking and overvolting could help... But really, once your N900 fried itself from the overclock it's lost cause...

Before you admit is fried, take care to reflash both rootfs and emmc (don't forget to backup MyDocs before, including hidden files!). This most likely will give you a reborn n900, perfectly working.

Problem is I have absolutely no backup of my data.. Trying to copy everything atm and will do a complete rootfs+emmc reflash.

btw Is it possible that settings from swappolube for example have remained active after reflash?
