Dead!!! NOKIA N900!!!!

hello peoples,
I have a N900 and it wont start up. ive tried reflashing it several times however it starts up but never passes the loading screen with the five bubble things. ive learnt to reflash it by using peoples blogs online and videos, i dont know much about it.It started when the screen froze so i just pulled the battery out to solve the problem, could this have caused any damage to the internal hardware???
any ideas??? on how to fix it??

Use this link and re-install your OS with Global firmware.

    The phone doesn't yet support this "operator codes" so you need to call the appropriate number instead. I understand this feature will be coming in a firmware update.. See this thread for more info

  • Transfer SMS (from Nokia N97) to Nokia N900

    Hey guys, 
    I wonder if there is a possibility to transfer my old SMS (from a Nokia N97) to my Nokia N900? Sadly (for SMS) you can not use the transfer function or the PC Suite. Does anyone have a solution? Copying the SMS from SIM card to the device is really no use, I have approx. 800+ SMS which I really would like to have on my N900.
    Thanks, I'd appreciate the help...

    Have a look through the talk thread link I posted above.. Remember, you can backup your device before you start and there are plenty of details here about how you restore from a backup and even a "bricked" device here..
    I'll see if I can make a walk through too.. I'll post details back here

  • 1. Installed maps on Nokia N900 not showing - 2. k...

    Although I have installed local maps dae through nokia maploader to Nokia N900, when I start the Map app on the phone the data is missind. Instead it downloades it from internet.
    I must clarify that if I reset the phone by reupdating the software the map data is working but as soon I reinstall the various apps I have , the local map date is not showing.
    Any idea which app might get in the way?
    Second question, regardless of my settings, the map app connect to internet. Every few minutes it asks me to connnect although I have disabled the automatic connections.

    By the way where are the links to every map data version?
    As predominantly a Mac user I have published links to a variety of map series upon the forum, but now there is very little demand except perhaps from users in India with 5230 without WiFi and high data downloading costs. As Mac support fairly sparse moderators have kindly allowed discussion of manual installation of map data, which should not be an issue for Windows users with Nokia Suite.
    Unfortunately the latest map data only appears to be available for Windows Phone 8 devices and that for Symbian ones will probably fall further behind in future.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • Portrait Mode For Nokia N900

    Unfortunately for some reasons I am not getting full satisfaction from my Nokia N900.
    Missing MMS,
    Quick Battery Drain,
    Landscape Mode all times,
    Unsupported by OVI,
    Fully not completable with Nokia PC Suite,
    I understand it's a kind of internet tablet. May be for this reason this phone have only landscape mode. But it does not mean that I shall use this phone only for surfing Internet all the way. I think Nokia should look into this matter and enable Portrait mode. In fact landscape mode is not comfortable all the times specially we bring out the phone from trouser's pocket and turn the phone landscape physically and start operation !!
    These are some basic points. I believe there are also lots of issues with this phone. But as a Nokia addict I expected more from this device. Now I am badly waiting for change this device :-(
    Thanks to all !!!
    Nokia N8

    There is a portrait mode SMS in development over at Maemo.org. Not sure how Nokia plan to address portrait mode in the future.
    But it's been stated by Nokea/Maemo that they have no intention in bringing "Native MMS" to the N900. Instead they are working closely with Frals (the creator of fMMS) to make sure his app integrates seamlessly with the O/S.
    The post can be viewed here: Statement on native MMS
    Personally I think Frals has done an awesome job and I've finally got the hang of using fMMS.
    Ovi is currently in beta. (There's enough talk about it on here).
    N-Series PC Suite has a better compatibility than Ovi Suite at present.
    And the battery drain will be fixed in the next firmware update (PR1.2), which is imminent.

  • Brand new Nokia N900 ceases just after half a day ...

    I recieved the new Nokia N900 as an upgrade. It crashed few time opening emails, however restarted automatically. Later on it crashed on ovi map (pre installed). I tried rebooting after taking the taking the battery out and putting it back in - no joy! I tried startgin without the sim card -still the same problem - it starts with the Nokia banner and then 5 flashing dots... that's it.
    I have used Nokia for over 10 years, I never experienced this from Nokia.
    I think N900 is still 'Work in Progress', am not sure if it is fully tested yet!!

    you need this thread!
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=maemo&thread.id=1799
    This is a known problem.. And I'll be brief here since there are lots of posts about it..
    A bug in the firmware causes some devices to reboot.. Your's is an unluck one.. There is a permanent fix in an up and coming firmware release (not the one released today.. but soon) but in the mean time we have a work around..
    you have two problems.. first getting your device booting..
    Each time your device randomly rebooted itself, it increased a counter.. when this counter reached its upper limit (17 reboots) the device will STOP booting.. as yours has.. To reset this limit you need to manually restart your phone.. use the power button to turn it off.. use the power button to turn it on and the counter goes back to zero.. 
    problem is, your device has already reached the limit so we need to trick it into going back to zero..
    The easiest option may not work for you.. but it is fairly simple..
    Take the battery out.. plug your phone into your computer.. put the battery back in.. allow the phone to boot..
    If that doesn't work, you'll need to use the longer process detailed in the link above.. Read the first post carefully and see the section:
    REPAIRING A DEVICE THAT NO LONGER BOOTS
    If your device won't boot and won't respond to flasher.. the battery could be flat.. you MUST charge the battery to get your device booting. To do this you'll need to find someone with a Nokia N900, 5800 or 5230 handset since they all use the same battery.. If you device won't boot, it won't charge.. 
    Ok, assuming these instructions have helped your device boot, you need to implement the patch to stop it rebooting.. 
    Open this URL in your phone
    http://chris.intrepid.cx/N900/fix
    Click and INSTALL the first link.. when you click the first link select open..you'll be taken to app manager and you must proceed with the install
    Go back to the browser and click and SAVE the second link.. Save the file in the documents folder of your device..
    now, open an Xterminal and type these two commands exactly.. remember they are case sensative:
    sudo gainroot
    sh MyDocs/.documents/fixpm.sh enable
    Reboot your device once more and you should hopefully have a happy N900!
    Any problems refer to the first link in this post... and post and questions in that thread..

  • Can't flash kernel in nokia n900, please help.

    My nokia N900 has suddenly has gone into weired loop of showing error message>>rebooting>>again error meesage...
    message says "can't flash kernels, required files not found
    Guru Meditation #00000025.62017712"
    I tried flashing and downloaded "Flasher", "WinFlasher_3.12.1.exe", since I've windows 7 in 32 bit operating system.
    It opens properly, but after i give first command "flasher-3.5.exe -F pr1.2.bin -f". It shows prompt command and says nothing about detecting, as lot of post refers to.
    Please someone help me on this.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    First, Thanks a lot for replying.
    Second, I'm not very familiar with linux. I followed the instructions posted by ceroberts75 as sticky at the first page. 
    1. Download the Flasher
    2. Download the latest firmware image for your N900  (you will need your IMEI of the device)
    3. when you save the global variant of the firmware to the "flasher-3.5" folder, save it as "pr1.2.bin"
    4.  When you save the vanilla file of the firmware to the "flasher-3.5" folder, save it as "vanilla.bin"
    5.  Turn your phone off
    6.  launch the flasher-3.5 program
    7.  type this command:   flasher-3.5.exe -F pr1.2.bin -f
    it will then scroll a bunch of gibberish and then say it is looking for a unit.
    8.  with the phone still off, hold slide the kb open and hold the "U" button while you connect the usb cable to the phone.  continue holding the "U" until you see the faint "NOKIA" logo and/or the USB connection symbol in the top right.  The flasher will find the device and automatically flash the unit to the original rom
    9.  after about 1.5 minutes, it will be complete.  DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR UNIT!
    10.  type this command:   flasher-3.5.exe -F vanilla.bin -f -R
    11.  now it should reflash the device and wipe the emmc clean of EVERYTHING.  after it reboots, you can disconnect it.
    My problem starts after step 7. It doesn't scrolls any thing nor it says its looking for the unit. It keeps going back to prompt command.
    I hope somebody can tell me what mistake I'm doing.
    Thanks.

  • Network service commands on my Nokia N900

    Hi there!
    I just acquired my N900 two days ago from a Nokia authorised dealer in Nigeria and even convinced a colleague to pick one yesterday as well.
    I live in Nigeria and my GSM operator is etisalat, im presently experiencing difficulties with using service commands on my phone. For instance, when i dial *235(hash, sorry cant find the symbol on my macbook pro) to check my balance; i get an error message saying "number incorrect". Other service commands dont also work. Is there a way around this?
    Its frustrating also that there is no official Nokia plugin for isync. I use a macbook pro and cant seem to find a way around syncing both devices. In the interim, I found www.salling.com very useful in transferring my media files.
    Should be grateful for useful tips and hints.
    Thanks 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Actually there is a way to use service commands. You have to use an app called USSD pad. Here is the instructions from santy245 on how to install the USSD pad app. 
    1. First, install Rootsh v1.5 download it here http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/rootsh/
        or http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Ma... to enable root access on X Terminal.
    1B. download -->.deb file) put it in a folder name the folder a
    2. Open X Terminal on the Nokia N900 (ITS IN THE APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2)
         type sudo gainroot  (Just like that) and press enter. (This will not work if you skip the        first  step)
    3. Ok now type cd MyDocs/TheNameOfTheFolder
        (include the path name of the folder you made if you made a new folder.
        I made a folder and called it a) this what I had to type cd MyDocs/a (Just like that)
       and press enter
    4. Ok stop while running X Terminal open the File Manger to make sure your .deb file is where
        you said it was and rename it to ussdpad (Just like that)
    5. Then go back to X Terminal type dpkg -i ussdpad.deb (Just like that) and press enter
        ok you are done go to (APPLICATION MENU PAGE 2) you should see ussd pad
