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.
i love this phone, but i think this motherboard isn't worth 170 USD...so my dead n900 is "paperweight
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
)
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.
