Read the link I posted under flashing with xp. Use the flasher and follow the directions.

I have tried many times ,...but it stopped after typing:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin -f -R
Only this warning : The suitable mode usb is not..blah blah..blah...
Seem cause by PC does not recognize N900 ..

hold the "u" key in your N900 keyboard but not that one on pc keyboard.

You need charge battery in another device. N900 charge battery control by OS. With empty akku charge is not possible.

I got flasher to work
try following steps
1) get your flasher on waiting.
2) plug the device, until the yellow light turned on.
3) take out battery
4) hold "u" and put back the battery
you may now see it in flash mode

you are right, accidentally i manage to put it in charging mode(breathing light).
last flash failed at 84% i think thats due to it went out bettery.
now i got a success boot.

Thx
