when you connect the device to flash what do you see on the n900?

ok, recharged the battery fully, flashed the whole COMBINED package, worked!
Now, though, it entered this loop of nokia sign - 4 dots, all faded, which I read someone complaining about....

Now it can flash ok. Then it reboots, the screen lits up properly, I see the dots for a few seconds.... and it goes back into the loop of faded nokia logos and dots...
I tried enabling the rd mode, it loops in that mode too, only then the screen lits up and some info about the phone are shown (like the hw revision).

EDIT:
BTW it is possible you've cold-flashed with wrong HW revision, which one did you use?

Normally, it would take a few minutes for Maemo to optify stuff on first boot. (You will see yellow light flashing while it does this)
P.S. Are you using ext4 for /home partition?

About your suggestions above, I will have to study a bit before I can try. Never heard of uboot-p13... Thanks.

Not sure, how do I check?
At this point in time, since the dots mean that kernel is able to boot, and Xomap is probably started, we'd probably want to get some dmesg logs.
I have never needed to do this before, so maybe someone else may be able to help you.

./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u
which extracted a bunch of stuff, including zImage
then I tried:
sudo ./flasher-3.5 -f -k zImage -R
but, as usual, it hangs at Suitable "USB device not found, waiting."
I don't know, I don't think I should try flashing th emmc, or should I? I'd like to try to keep the data
