that happened with me once

you need to use older emmc.bin and older rootfs.bin
hopefully your problem will be solved just like mine
PS: USE GLOBAL FIRMWARE

wow, that's amazing, it worked .!!!

when i turned it on, the TV shows the "enter the lock code" screen, i do it blindly, yet i wasnt able to access using a default one i guess, i used the same oooooold one before flashing eMMC.bin (what does that means) ?!

anyway, i can access anything nnow, just using the TV screen !! the device screen is still black .!

It's a broken screen/damaged flex then. The touchscreen works right? Replacement N900 screens can be had on eBay for cheaps.

This auction looks legit.

Also, have some search results.

Do not just buy the cheapest screen you'll find. The quality can wary a lot. They could simply be crap quality.. recalculated sek>dollar a price worthy screen should go for about $30 but then Sweden might be a more expensive country. A crap quality screen goes for about $10. So maybe something in between of that.
