hi all,
I want to know how to flash my n900 without the “U” key feature, because n900 is not being recognized by the flasher, or I should say that the small usb logo on the top right is not appearing when I connect the turned-off device to the computer holding the “U” key (on windows 7 32 bit). I was looking at the help file of flasher and was wondering if I could use the “–usb-device” option, but can someone please guide me if they have used it and how do you get to know the “bus:device address” of the usb device to which the n900 is connected? Thanks.

This isn’t a battery problem I am sure: I say that because if I leave the phone on the wall charger (the bright yellow steady light turns on and then the dim NOKIA display lights up and then after few seconds the yellow light disappears and the phone like restarts and this keeps on repeating forever. But, if I take the battery out and disconnect the wall charger and after few seconds put the battery back in, then on pressing the power button for a while, the white status light comes and the bright white screen with the NOKIA logo shows up (just like the normal Maemo boots) only the difference is that nothing happens on that white screen and the phone shuts down back after few seconds.

What did I do: ok I installed meego! After just one boot and playing around with it I decided to boot back to maemo, but the reboot never worked. What was happening was that on reboot the nokia screen used to come up and then some os booting lines used to comes up but meego was also not booting up for some reason. So I used the “U” key feature and tried reflashing the device with the maemo pr1.3, the flashing did start but it failed in the middle, I think the phone restarted, and now the device is behaving as mentioned above. There is no physical damage done to the device.
