1. connect usb cable to pc first (PC ONLY)..
2. then, slide out N900 keyboard
3. press U, and keep pressing and holding U..do not let go..
4. connect the other end of  the usb cable to N900..

u don't have to press the power button...
*
haha.. the previous practise was done because the front page teach so... i din press the power button this time, but the usb logo still din appear..
means the phone still cant connect to computer and cant format it...

tried the possible methods, but nothing works..
the phone :-
a) can be turned on but only remain on NOKIA logo, either with color or without
b) battery was taken out for few mins then put it back but jz the same
c) cant connect to any pc hence cant reflash it, even pressing the "U" button without powering up. jz showing NOKIA logo and it stopped there..

any other possible method to survive my dead phone.. if there is no, i think need to send back to factory.
anyway, thanks

well..does it have usb logo on the top-right?if yes...that means..u can flash it..

before plugging the usb to the phone, open cmd first, then "cd" to the flasher's path..then, type the command "flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R" or whatever ".bin" file u have...DO NOT PRESS ENTER YET..

now..PRESS AND HOLD..HOLD IT LIKE FOREVER UNTIL THE NOKIA LOGO with usb logo on topright..

once done, press enter on your pc keyboard...
*
there is no USB logo appeared... well, i jz sent the phone to repair... thanks for everyone's effort...

ok.. anyone now using N900 in Nitdroid based OS?
I think I will install the Nitdroid...
Can I know if it is stable or not?
Wilt it affect calls and sms features?

*I do not have a micro SD, so i will do partition for my n900.
correct me if im wrong..
i will follow the fdisk to do partition on the n900 as shown in the frontpage..
then i will proceed to install the Nitdroid(partition method)..

It always been stable.
Open filebox.
Navigate to "/etc/multiboot.d"
Open "11-NITDroid-mmcblk0p5 bla-bla-bla"
Press edit
Try changing the "ITEM_DEVICE=mmcblk0p5" & save
Try reboot to NITDroid again.

If it's not working post here again.
*
when i tried to change it to mmcblk0p5 and save, it says "file is read-only"
so im unable to change it..

Tick the "enable root access" & try again.
Else install leafpad & open the file from terminal.

Once in a while I'll try the weekly build.
And in that time usually my sister will call me(Don't ask how she got the timing correct).Phone functions & other functions works great so far.
Strangely even after testing NITDroid I have yet to encounter this "flight mode" mode which bugged a lot users.
Try the following in MAEMO:
Open terminal & type following :
sudo gainroot
mount /dev/mmcblk0p5 /and
rm -rf /and/data/*
mkdir /and/data/logs
chmod 777 /and/data/logs
umount /and
*
I have typed the code in x-terminal.. however, the airplane mode still cant be turned off..
Currently in the office, don have wifi. I think need connection to resetup again. It went back to the beginning.
As far as I know, phone is not functioning yet. Can I use Bluetooth headset for calls? Anyone tried this?
I used eMMC for the installation, can I still overclock the phone? I tried the front-page code, but when reached the leafpad line, it only appeared a blank sheet.. which I cant edit anything on that page.
At first, I tot I cant use the camera, but after that only find out it is not functioning at the moment..
Realli looking forward to seeing the other features can work in the future..

i connected my phone with booted nitdroid to my computer. however, it failed to detect my device..
is this normal? can i transfer files from computer directly into nitdroid..
after the repartition, my internal memory was separated to two, which is 20GB and 12GB (approximately)..
i can check that 20GB is in the maemo, and 4GB in the nitdroid, checked in the setting..
i assume that 8GB was used for the Nitdroid..
wat i wan to ask is i seem cannot use the 4GB internal memory in the nitdroid.. how to use the internal memory?
correct me if im wrong..

the problem solved by disabling the pin code..
tried to connect to a bluetooth device.. but failed to search the device...
