Hi Subsix,

Firstly, it would be good if you could head over to the following thread and post your problem so Jaffa can fix this in the future.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=catorise

This is of course why the extras-testing and devel repos carry a warning from this community.

I had a problem with a reboot cycle after using catorise due to a conflict with another programme. This has since been resolved, but I'm afraid you're going to have to flash your N900 via the data cable. You'll lose all your data, but restoring to a backup will do you just fine.

For info, see here:

You'll also be able to update to the latest firmware...hehe

hey mate thanks for responding, hmm i tried to flash it but it didnt worked.. this what i did:

first:
i installed maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2 (for xp),
downloaded bin: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM (Latest Maemo 5 Middle East and North Africa release for Nokia N900)

second:
i put the bin file in flash3.5 folder
then i connect the usb to phone using U to flash

in cmd command i type:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin -f -R

then i had msg back:

That usually indicates that the firmware file is not in the correct directory (I've logged a bug about the useless error message). It needs to be in the same directory as you're running the command from.
