Hi all, I've a N900 not used because the touchscreen is broken; I did an hard reset some time ago, so it's stuck in the "Choose Language/Choose Region/Choose Hour/etc, and I cannot go one because the touchscreen.
I was wandering if there is some way to go past it or, eventually, use it to install some linux flavor to use it as an ssh server. Am I asking too much?
I broke the digitizer of my first N900 once, and got stuck on the choose region/set clock screen, but I remember I got past it maybe by shutting it down and booting it up few times. Cant recall it correctly, but I definitely did it somehow. Then I got the terminal running with ctrl + x if I remember correctly and moved some files to safety in command line. This way I could have installed any needed software for usb or bluetooth mouse. Eventually I bought new digitizer and ribbon cable and repaired the phone.
The problem is, I don't think I'm going to use it as my main phone anymore (shame on me!), I was wandering if, maybe using the flasher utility, is possible to flash somehow to just have the shell, or flash it directly with some *nix magic.
Thanks again!

Just get to the terminal and apt-get the sshd to your system and you can log in to it remoitely (ofcourse you have to have rootsh installed already to do that).
