http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher

This is the ' above behaviour with matrix of numbers', output of the flasher:

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus 002, device address 003.
Waiting for ASIC id...
Got 69 bytes.

Sending 2nd image (14720 bytes)... done.
Sending ping... timeout!
failed.
Sending ping... pong.
Sending secondary (109440 bytes)... done.
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

And yes, that is an old firmware, I was in fact flashing the newest one, just wrote it wrong.

Gonna try now again...
Which is actually a great news, seems you have succesfully cold flashed your n900 and at least TWL chip and SoC are alive. Now try only booloader and if that fails to restore your n900 you can try to flash kernel only. If that fails too you have no option but to flash the whole rootfs. And maybe eMMC too.

Oh, really? :eek:

Ok, so. Now I got that output when giving the option --flash-only=nolo.

I have now repeated it with all options for --flash-only, got the 'good news' each time, btu still the phone would not switch on. But now at least I see the usb sign on the screen, even though it's faded like the nokia logo...

now you sholuld be able to flash the kernel use the international version not the country specific version

Now extract zImage(kernel) from firmware and flash it. See flasher docs or ask google on how to extract kernel image from firmware and how to flash kernel only. And as I already told you, if that fails, try to flash the whole firmware. And eMMC if needed.

Am I the only one who thinks it's very cute that there's an N900 couple out there?

Mmmm I did not notice the international version, I tried with the US one (actually, I am not entirely sure if my phone is a US or UK version..).
But did I not just flash the kernel by setting --flash-only=kernel? :confused:

Ok, I'll see what I manage to do (I am at work now, without the phone, nor sudo privileges). For what I understood, if I flash eMMC I lose all the data in the phone, right?

It's more than cute: it's really helpful when you brick one of them :p

Re: Did I really kill my n900?
 
yes flashing the emmc will wipe out my docs ..try just the kernel first read the wiki fully ..i know you prolly have several times but read it again ...if you flash the kernel and rootfs you will lose your apps aka combined/fiasco

doesnt matter uk/us look for
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM

that is pr1.3 there maybe one for pr1.3.1 that is newer but i know for a fact that the one above works ...there have been problems with other versions. If you are installling cssu do not install pr1.3.1 its only a security update and is included in the latest cssu

RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM
is the matching emmc data if needed
