Hello,

I have Nokia N900 with the latest maemo updates supported from Nokia and live with that most of days I got my device.

Later I had installed maemo CSSU and got many updates from them and everything is working fine.

Also installed Android within the same phone memory and it boot normally and everything is perfect with both OSs (Note I have access now to Androis)

Recently I installed package named (I don't remember) like hildon to apply portrait desktop..

My problem now that I ran the following :

#apt-get remove hildon-desktop
#reboot

The issue is that I got the both selection for maemo and Android, press 1 to boot to maemo , it loads and Nokia famous video displayed with music but it returns back to boot menu again!!!

What do you think?

Note that I boot normally to Android!!!

Please help!!

fixing that will require some work, so the easiest ways is that if you have backupmenu installed, restore your last backup, if not, then re-flash..

if you want to fix this without reflashing, you will have to follow some instructions (kinda not that easy), if you want to do this write back here, will try to help you..

Code:
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset
This should prevent bootloops at bootup.
hildon-desktop starts right after the Nokia hands logo, or whatever you have in its place, I'm not sure if the status menu will start without hildon-desktop, since there's no initial location for it now, unless that's hardcoded somewhere.

If you have the device set to autoconnect to a network and have openssh-server installed, then you could ssh in and install hildon-desktop again.

Any shortcut keys that fire up terminal and stuff won't work, they're handled by hildon-desktop.
