Guys, I need help with the Maemo Flasher-3.5.
I'm trying to flash my N900.
My N900 successfully connects to the PC (got nokia logo with USB logo at the corner)

when I key in this command in the command prompt
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
It shows:
flasher v2.5.2 <Sep 24 2009>
RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin: %m

and.. nothing happens.

I tried another command :
flasher-3.5 --read-device-id
It shows:
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

I am guessing maybe the problem is with windows not recognizing N900 or something?

Help please..

What windows you're using? It only works with 32bits tho

yup. using old 32 bit Window XP.

Added on June 8, 2011, 1:28 amGuys! I successfully re-flashed my N900!!!

Turns out the culprit was that
1: I miss-typed a single letter in the command (typed o instead of 0)
2: My PC doesnt have the Nokia USB flashing driver, and connectivity driver thingy installed, thus Windows did not recognized N900 as being connected.

Too me awhile to google for those files and to find instructions and clues at other forums. but in the end I did it!!!
I reflashed my N900!!!

Sorry for me being over-excited about this simple little thing, but this is a big thing for me to be able to revive my own phone. There's nothing like getting your hands dirty to fix your own gadgets. haha.. and it feels great to have my N900 back again!

Now to restore the last backup files..

just an update... i had just upgrade to power kernel v47.... my battery now last more than 24 hours with normal usage (wifi, 3g surfing, gaming, texting and phone). it seems that this update fixed the cpu usage leakage problem.

bro...how u update to power kernel v47?

cant really remember the link... but try google for power kernal v47 maemo 5. choose the link that goes to maemo.org. got instruction there.

updating it via the App Manager, does it update to V47?

i think so, if u already install the CSSU pack.


after th update, i dont really know other method, but i used conky to confirm if the installation was successful.

use application manager, remember to add in extra-dev, look for kernel and you will find linux kernel for v47

install at your own risk

anyone disassembled their n900 yet? yeah,i did and i applied thermal greese on the parts and the result is the phone wont get that hot even with heavy load,one thing is will the thermal greese help in overclocking? i only managed to run the phone on 1ghz previously ,going to try higher later

good luck with that..

anyone experience picture not saved in memory?
the culprit is Fcam...after i open fcam, all the pics snapped with any camera apps are not saved in memory unless fon is restarted.
suddenly happen..not sure what i updated that it became like this

1 question..Can Whatsapp used in Nokia N900 (Maemo OS) ?

1 answer..no

Wow, high hopes. Good luck in not burning your device. Lols

dissapointed...any other way?

hairaul,

2 ways, get yourself an iPod Touch or just install NitDroid into your N900.

Symbian will work too but not recommended cause the data connection connectes continuously draining battery. =.=

You mean we can install Whatsapp for Symbian on our N900?
