Hello,
hope someone will help me a bit with my n900.I need help to flash my n900. he reason why I have to do it is this: My n900 worked just fine before I decided to install Nitdroid Gingerbread. After installation, I could only run Nitdroid from multiboot. There was even Maemo to choose from multi-boot by pressing 1, but as soon as I pressed 1 after a few seconds the NOKIA screen uppears and I come back to multiboot screen again where I can choose between 1: Maemo and 2 Nitroid . Have also tried to press 0, but the exact same thing happen like when I press 1. When it comes to Nitroid I do not think either that the installation went well there because everytime I chose some program in Nitroid I can´t exit that program to return to previous screen. The only way that is working then is to press "camera button" on the top of the phone then can I exit the program SO therefore I need to flash my n900. So now to the Flash part. Have actually read through many pages around the internet, how to do it, seen some videos etc but the problem remains. And the problem is:

I follow all the steps on how to do it,with downloading the right files etc.Then I start cmd. I do the typing exactly as it is written to do. and everything starts good and THEN stops with: "suitable USB device not found, waiting." I waited and waited but nothing happens. And YES I have tested two versions. The first: Connecting first usb to the laptop and pressing/holding the U on the n900 and at the same time connecting the microUSB to n900. This was done before cmd started. Did not work. Then I tried the same thing but AFTER I started cmd and AFTER "suitable USB device not found, waiting" came up. Even here notthing happens. I use laptop with XP sp3 and microUSB cable( the short version of the cable, you know, the one who is about 10-15 cm long). Can cable causing the problem that it is not the longer version? My laptop has only usb on the side, not the back. I want to point out once again: I have read many pages on the net so you do not think I'm lazy and I came right here asking for help without searching first. But ... now I'm here and asking for help.
I am greatful for any answers.
Best regards to you all
