no os on my n900
 

Dear maemo community,

I've already started to update my nokia n900 firmware using the Nokia Software Updater. But the update aborted with the message "No device found. Please use another USB-Port". I tried to follow the instruction, but NSU didn't resume flashing. Now my problem is, that I havn't any OS on my n900 so I can't start it anyway. Windows XP doesn't detect the device so I can't use the flasher-3.5 to flash maemo manually..

Sorry for my bad english and thank you in advance for your replies!

I'm sorry, I forgot my question^^

Have you any idea to fix my problem??? Maybe one without sending the n900 back to nokia;-)

When you switch on the device what happens does it switch on with a blank screen ?

There is a white screen with the blue NOKIA logo on it. This screen appears for a view seconds then the device shut down.

I can't reflash the device because windows doesn't detect it. No reflash without connection to the PC... :-(

You could try using a bootable Linux CD and flashing it from there.

Does connecting other stuff to USB in Windows work?

Did you turn it on pressing the "U" key in the N900 keyboard? And after the screen shows "Nokia" and an USB icon on the top right of the screen pluged the USB cable?
