How would I do that? I see no way to flash these modules and I don't know how to mount any of the partitions on the dead device manually.

So you should have only selected run attached kernel!?

I tried that but it didn't boot the kernel.
I'm not sure what exactly happened but it was either a bunch of messages saying the FS couldn't be mounted (this definitely happened when trying to boot from eMMC and µSD) or plain nothing.

Ok, so I got the extras-testing package [1], extracted u-boot-2013.04-1+zImage-2.6.28-omap1.fiasco (1.8MB) and tried to flash it:

Code:

# ./0xFFFF/src/0xFFFF-i386 -m u-boot-2013.04-1+zImage-2.6.28-omap1.fiasco -f
0xFFFF v0.6  // Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Warning: Removing unknown image (specified by file u-boot-2013.04-1+zImage-2.6.28-omap1.fiasco)

But something must have happened because 0xFFFF now says this:

Code:

# ./0xFFFF/src/0xFFFF-i386 -I
0xFFFF v0.6  // Open Free Fiasco Firmware Flasher

Not a local device

Waiting for USB device...  
Found USB device: SU-18/RX-44/RX-48/RX-51 (0x421:0x105) in NOLO mode
USB device product string: Nokia N900 (Update mode)
USB device serial number string: MUM364446
Detected USB device: RX-51            

Initializing NOLO...
Device: RX-51
HW revision: 2101
NOLO version: 1.4.14
Kernel version: (not detected)
Initfs version: (not detected)
Software release version: RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0
Content eMMC version: RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.DACH
Root device: flash
USB host mode: disabled
R&D mode: disabled

When I start the device now the white LED goes on and I get the Nokia logo with backlight, but nothing more. Before trying to reflash u-boot I only got the Nokia logo wthout backlight or LED.

Are you sure? I'd guess it panics as soon as any of the thumb binaries gets executed.

Probably. I did the last update about two weeks ago.
