the woes of living in the states :( not a single repair center nearby me. and looks like ill hafta pay if i want the repairs since i'm out of warranty. buggers really.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

^ just an update, i sent my phone into nokia care center in Texas here in the states. and they called me saying that my phone is out of warranty (which I know since it's been almost 2 yrs, and nokia US only covers for a year). I asked if they can look into the repairs and give me an estimated cost for the fixes. but they said I can't even pay for fixes, they only cover warranty fixes -_-

so they can't do anything with my phone *sigh* besides sending it back. this telephony functions disabled is really a pain in the ar$e >_<

guess ill just look for a used n900 at a reasonable price and use this one for playing around.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

If you pay for repairs, why don't you ship it to a Nokia center that does repairs? They don't care where it's bought if you pay for it. Shipping isn't a killer.

Do you know anyone in a better covered country? If not, ask some other care centre if they repair and ship back.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

FWIW I just had this problem. it was solved by flashing the eemc and then the fiasco image (from Linux), just like the docs say. I'm not saying this would work for everyone, but it's the most likely fix for most people.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Good, that flashing helped you :)
Not so good for me:(

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

does anyone fixed his problem

tell me please

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

but i want to know form users windows 7 or xp/sp2or3

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

strip the phone down mate, cover the main board with isopropyl then give it a scrubb with a old toothbrush or something similar. This happened to me only 2 days ago, dropped my N900 into a pint of cider, woke up and had the same problem as you. worked a treat

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

It doesn't seem to be good mate. From what I saw before, Ur N900 is dead 4 good. U can try this:

Start flasher 3.5 on Ur Xp machine :

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u

It should extract zImage and roofts image

Code:

flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:2101 -2 2nd.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -s secondary.bin-RX-51\:2101\,2102\,2103 -S usb

now connect device in flashing mode, U should get this :

Code:

flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)



Using serial port usb

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

USB device found found at bus 005, device address 004.

Sending 2nd image (14720 bytes)... done.

Sending ping... timeout!

failed.

Sending ping... pong.

Sending secondary (109440 bytes)... done.

If it is done, U now have temp boot loader

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=nolo -f

I hope that will help U
take care

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

i will try my dear friend
thank you

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Any luck with sorting Ur N900?

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

send mine to 3 repair shops but no luck, kept using it for 4 months as a tablet, but finally i found someone who got me an excellent board(used for one week ) for around 50$.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

I've had this problem and sent back to Nokia under 2 year EU warranty. I received an "upgrade" back of a brand new E7-00. Gutted!

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Now i know this sounds daft but i have the same issue as the OP and have managed to fix it. I got some toilet paper and cut it to the shape of a sim card about 6 layers thick, put the battery on top and booted it up, so far a month without the problem popping up where as i used to have it daily.

I may not know how to do the coding for this phone (or even enter one for that matter) but please at least humour me and give this a try :)

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Reddevil,

I am trying in this way now, Instead of 6 layer thick paper, I placed another old simcard on top of my sim card and then placed battery on top. I am seeing +ve result now. Let me see how many days it works, I will again post result after one more week.

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Meanwhile I also found this. If any one can try in below way also

Re: All Telephony Functions Disabled

Hello Guys,
I found one so called 'FIX' for the "Comm error... on N900"
Little risky yet easy to perform.

Here it goes...
After you remove SIM card from its slot, there are 6 pins which connect your Phone to the SIM card.
You need to take a forceps or blade & lift them 6 pins on the Phone.

< MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT MUCH FORCE, YOU MIGHT BREAK THEM >

It is an alternative for the tissue paper method posted on other forums :p

Regards...

I noticed yesterday that phone had dropped off the network and had a Red Line through the SIM Card icon on the home screen. I rebooted it, and it came back. Didn't think anything more of it.

Today, the phone took a long time to boot, and a banner appeared during the boot up (blinking white dots) saying:

"All telephony functions, including emergency calls, are disabled due to a communication error. To recover, you might have to reboot the device".

Tapping the screen clears this, and boot continues. The same warning is repeated when reaching the desktop. The red line is through the SIM card, and sure enough, it's disappeared. I tried sending various dbus-commands to com.nokia.phone.sim, and dbus is claiming there is no .service present to handle the call. So it looks like either hardware failure, or driver failure.

I've reseated / cleaned the SIM (which is a newish SIM) and swapped SIMs in and out between different devices, so I'm confident it's not the SIM.

Ovi Suite 2.2.0.245 is claiming it can't recognise the device, when it was able to recognise it just fine yesterday.

I tried to flash the device, but the flasher is dying like this:

Code:

  ERROR: Error processing request, stalling

  ERROR: EP0 STALL sent

  ERROR: SST1 CH0: transmit timed out

  ERROR: Error processing request, stalling

  ERROR: EP0 STALL sent

  ERROR: Premature end of control transfer

I've downloaded the latest image, both the UK variant (203) and the Global (MR0). It looks like my device has the Vodafone variant (205) on it, but I can't find a source for PR1.2 205, and anyway, should that matter?

Having tried this a number of ways, I concluded I had a real problem on my hands, and it was time to package it up for a warranty repair. Before doing that, I started to clear down personal data, and uninstall apps I had added in.

I tried to uninstall *# Starhash Enabler. It wouldn't properly uninstall, claiming there is a file missing. I had to reinstall it (from the command line) and then uninstall it again.

I also noticed that some of the thumbnails in my Photo library were broken, which makes me wonder if the drive has got corrupted or damaged somehow?

So, some advice needed:

It is flashable? Nobody else has reported that same flashing error. Can I flash the eMMC and then the image, and would that work better or risk bricking it?
Can I low-level format the entire device, marking off any faulty chunks (sorry - more used to dealing with physical disk drivers here)
Any thoughts on the underlying cause? Faulty SIM card reader? Faulty memory? Corrupted install?
Is it worth warranty returning it to Nokia? (It's in warranty)

Thanks,
