I bought my n900 today aaaaand fail:(
 

Today I bought an used n900, having come back home I tried to turn it on and it asks for lock code. The guy I bought it from doesn't pick up his phone. 'no worries' - I thought, I'd reflash it and everything will be just fine.
What I did:
1) Following the instructions from the wiki, I flashed with this first:
RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin
2) Right after that, I flashed with this image: RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

The phone rebooted and it keeps asking for lock code (12345 doesn't work)

What should I do?

remove the battery between the 2 flashes, and put the battery back in while holding down the U button.

also be sure that you use the lastest version of the emmc and the firmware :)

try 123456...

WTF? He said lock code doofus. Lock code is not removed by flash.

Good try, however it should be '12345'.


If the above fails you can always boot the meego rescue kernel/init and activate USB mode to gain access to rootfs to retrieve the password shadow file.
