It's been a long time since I've had to reflash the phone; it's been very stable on the previous version of CSSU-testing.

In the excruciating process of trying to figure out how to re-flash, a dead link has been discovered in the Wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware
Links to an empty page. That's the place where you get the image for your country. I think we may be so screwed.

Just got this from mr_pingu

http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/maemo_dev_env_downloads/

for the flasher

and

http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia_N900/

for the images

hope it works...

Two things you will have to keep in mind:

1. Activate the rotation behaviour itself:
gconftool-2 --set --type bool /system/systemui/tklock/auto_rotation true

2. Make sure you have the required image
The new osso-systemui-tklock looks for /etc/hildon/theme/backgrounds/lockslider-portrait.png (for a portrait background image). If that specific file is not present, it will not switch to portrait.

Hey... I am panicking, too. How is it bricked in your case? I see no signs of any problems, so far, after update of CSSU-Testing; will these problems be evident when I attempt to reboot the device?
[Edit]
I have run "aptitude upgrade" several times, just because RootFS had no free space, and I manually optified gcc and purged hildon-theme-beta. Right now, it works fine, but I am afraid of rebooting. I don't have a memory card, though, so I don't expect any problems in the future.
[/Edit]
Best wishes.

Here's what happened to me... and the solution was simply removing the battery!

Thanks for the update!
One thing I mentioned, that the ringing tone had reverted by itself to the default Nokia Tune...

That's weird, should not happen

Same here, after late night update in the morning N900 was ringing with default tone, text messages and e-mails as well where on default tones. But in settings every thing was set like before update, so I had to change to diferent tone, save it, and then again choose the right one and save.

It looks like that removing SD card from device fixing booting...

Please confirm if device is bootable without inserted SD card.
