please my friend hit a key and the next thing i see is nokia n900 asking me a lock key i entered the default 12345 it wasnt working so all was left is to flash it i downloaded maemo flasher and downloaded the pr 1.2 global release the flasher goes smooth then error pops

i would really appreciate the help thank u

i thought this community is supposed to help us users i dont know much about kernel or none of these things im jus a newbie bt i want to learn so at least some help

I guess it's just a grey area, a quick search shows nothing.

I got that a few times, random trial and error of battery pulling, unplugging, replugging, re-downloading firmware got it to work for me.

Sorry I can't be much help.

Here's some documentation to help you:

I recommend you look over all of them, to give you a good understanding of the procedure.

Good luck.

I thought the community isn't obliged to answer every question within 30 minutes 24/7....

you will probably get help by being humble, making those ridiculous claims won't speed up things, those only can make a lot of people to not respond at all...
