Hi all!

Help!

I took a deep breath and gave this a try - with terrible results, I'm afraid...

I've found incomplete, inaccurate and/or outdated instructions everywhere, and that might have been one of the problems. I'm certain another problem was deciding to give it a go anyway, without asking for help first (and right before going to sleep)!

Hoping that it's not too late, I ask for your help to solve the mess I got myself into.

Here's what I did:
  • Formatted my 2GB card following the wiki article N900-install
  • Downloaded and installed multi-boot and NITDroid
Now, when I turn on my N900, I see the multi-boot menu with just one option: "1 - NITdroid on MMCp2 - 2.6.28.NIT.05". I didn't change the ITEM_NAME and ITEM_KERNEL variables when setting up multi-boot (doh!), so I guess that's what causing the following error:
Can't flash kernel, required files not found
Guru Meditation #00000025.62017712"
Sounds quite easy to fix, BUT:
  • There's no option in multi-boot for stock / power kernel boot
  • The USB port of this device came out recently, so I can't reflash it! (double doh!)
I feel like I locked myself out of my house... how do I get in, now?
