    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.
    .
    Oh yes, it'd be great to see some logs. Any idea on how to access them?

    When you've enabled R&D mode, have you also prompt flasher to disable watchdogs? Just enabling R&D may be not enough.

    Maybe, but first, it would be great to test every possible way of restoring it. Especially, that most parts seem to work.

    I sent my phone to the Nokia service, and they sad in the motherboard important power circuit is injured. So, only motherboard replacement solve this problem.

    Considering the price of a brand new Overo Fire + a GSM dongle, I think that $170 is a fair price (if it isn't, a 2nd-hand N900 is worth $170)

    Anyways, back to the thread.
    Apparently, you need to install a logger for logging facilities to work. But don't fret. Get a SD card and install Nemo Mobile on it
    (and use these RD flags:
    flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset --set-rd-flags=no-omap-wd --set-rd-flags=no-ext-wd
    )

    Guys, from the sympthoms so far it seems that:

    1. HW is pretty OK, otherwise I don't think we will have a booting kernel.
    2. rootfs is flashed OK (we won't have flying dots otherwise)
    3. eMMC is either HW broken or filesystem broken/totally empty. I would bet on the second.

    @giff53, forget about my idea installing Nemo on SD card, there is an easier way. I think up to (and including) PR1.1 the MyDocs(eMMC) was visible from PC when phone is switched off and USB connected. So you may try to flash an older firmware to see if you can see it. If you are unable then it does not make sence to continue try restoring MyDocs, there is nothing left, so just flash eMMC and hope the HW is OK.

    Hi there. Yes, it could be, but my case need not necessarily be like yours, so I'll keep hoping a bit

    Yes I did. But the RD mode also loops, only now I see the screen properly lit, with some info about the phone, like the hw revision...
