My issue is not broken nolo, but broken xloader (I know terminology is little bit fuzzy, but I mean file named 'xloader' which comes inside fiasco). Cold flashing will not ever start because my computer is not seeing N900 (nothing comes in kernel log).
Does not matter what is broken (if nolo or x-loader). Cold flashing is started *before* booting x-loader and is started by omap rom.

Above command for cold flashing should be OK. If you are not seeing usb device it is because of power supply.

Make sure you have fully charged battery. If needed use external charger. N900 with broken bootloader cannot charge your batttery.
