N900 won't boot up
 
I know there's a thousand threads about n900's not turning on bla bla blaaaaa. So please don't tell me to do a search because i've just spent the last hour doing so and found no answer. This n900 came from a friend who initially lost it, had another handset sent to him by voda and then he found the first handset again but never used it since. Anyway, my bird works for voda and she checked the imei number to see if its on their blacklist but it isn't.. So the problem.. phone switches on, Nokia appears on the screen followed by the dots, freezes then turns off. I've flashed both images like 10 times with no difference. Any idea's anyone?? The phone worked fine before it was lost so there's no reason it shouldn't work now right?
Thanks in advance :)

I would try r&d mode with watchdog etc disabled (if the n900 allows) and try to boot.

Have you tried to flash just the FIASCO image instead of both FIASCO and eMMC?

No i haven't, but surely it won't make a difference? I mean i've flashed them both already? I'll certainly try tho

To change to R&D mode you need to have flasher installed and run:

In linux:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode

In windows
flasher-3.5.exe --enable-rd-mode

In case it boots up in this mode, you should take a look to this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...82#post1047282
