Really? Sorry about that. I know for sure that I had rescued my N900 once by doing exactly that but thinking back, it may have been a hybrid of CSSU-Thumb and CSSU-devel.
I'm starting again from a full reflash since my phone went bananas about a month ago, i installed thumb, but cant remember having my kernel updated/changed from stock.
How can i know wich kernel i have?
If i go under "About Maemo 5 Community SSU" i find Version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo8.2+Thumb1
(I tought this was thumb2....)
Any advice/ideas?
If i have to full reflash i have no concern since it is almost empty.
The phone does not boot any more, I can switch it on but then the screen remains dark (with a light backlight glow to see that it is not the battery). I can switch it off, this does work as well.
Is there a way to get into the system without reflashing? In order to have the address book data and some fotos recovered? Most of the private data is on an external SD-card, which I could recover. I missed out to backup the address book data and some images... as I was overly optimistic that nothing will go wrong with the upgrade ;-) :-(
Have anyone encounter this bug?
When you lock your phone (or the phone lock automatically), it will show the Enter lock code screen:
I just found out today that if you press anywhere outside the Enter lock code screen (the area marked with red block), it will pass the phone lock and show "Device not locked" message:
And now you will be able to access the phone
Is phone lock useless on Maemo? Am I the only one to suffer this problem?
@freemagon,
I am sorry in advance if this bug not related to CSSU thumb.
I post it in here because I am using CSSU thumb on my N900.
I don't know where else to post this.

it will be locked AFTER you enter the code, not a bug

You're right, it is locked after I enter the code.
This is only occured when I select the "Secure device" from power button menu.
I thought when I select "Secure device" menu, it will automatically locked my phone. It turn out I have to input my password/pin before the phone will actually locked.
Could we make the phone LOCKED without the need to input the password/pin?
-edit-
When the phone is locked, there is an option to power off the phone when I press the red area. Is this a feature?
I don't know your setup, I am on CSSU T8.2, as this is Thumb Thread I guess you are referring to thumb. Shouldn't be different though. For me it works as you (and I) would expect:
If I select "Secure device" from power menu, it is locked and - as you asked - by tapping "outside" asks me if I want to turn it of, thus hence it being a feature.
It should not ask for a PIN when selecting "secure device". Maybe you haven't set one permanently in the settings, resulting in asking every time for one? This would be a feature I am not sure I would like.
