I assume you are using Flasher-3.5?
You've got your Flasher-3.5 started first on command prompt window, before physically connecting the N900?
You can connect physically only after you see the message that says Flasher is waiting for device. You also need to hold "U" down with the keyboard opened (when connecting USB cable) while depressing power button to turn on N900. Once u-boot does not appear to be loading, you can let go of the "U" button. Flashing should be done in 2 sec.
(Do remember Flasher somehow doesn't work with 64-bit Windows)

[EDIT: Done: Nitdroid installed! And that was fast and painless...
  • Used a Transcend Class 6 4GB microSD card
  • Did not use the normal apt-get install nitdroid-installer route..(as I had issues with partitioning of SD card before)
  • Instead followed instruction from http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=316.90
  • Downloaded nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb (from http://talk.maemo.org/attachment.php...8&d=1289926862) onto N900's MyDocs folder
  • In xterm, just typed: root
  • Followed by cd /hone/user/MyDocs
  • Then dpkg -i nitdroid-installer_0.2.7_armel.deb
  • Finally nitdroid, and reboot
No need to manually partition SD card or reinstall multiboot. On reboot, N900 went straight into multiboot menu that shows all 3 options for omap-1, v45 and Nitdroid.

I've got working WiFi and Market, so it looks good.

This is addictive...I just might try my luck with installing Meego...if I can read up a bit more about other's experience with u-boot....]

Thx a lot...
Multiboot with

1.omap1
2.power45
3.nitdroid

is working fine here, too

And Meego is also booting properly but from another SD card. So I guess maybe by simply moving the raw Meego image to a new partition on my other sd card (the one with nitdroid on it) could make it possible to boot it, but there won't be an multiboot entry.

we'll see

Greetz,

After trying and failing with every combination of flashing method;
- I charged up my N900's battery with an external charger
- Ran the flasher3.5 kernel only command
- and 2 seconds later my N900 was back, like it hadn't been bricked for a week.
