Flash the kernel only:

You can't just uninstall the modules when using the power kernel...

It's like uninstalling drivers on Windows and expecting things to work...

And NO; You don't need to re-flash the whole thing!

Same thing happend to me, Its just vibrates, show me the Nokia logo and reboots over and over and over again untill i remove the battery.
I was thinking about flashing the phone, thing is: When i plug it to a chager (PC and/or wall charger), it turns on, and keep rebooting like someone is paying it to do so. And my battery aint fully charged.(dont have a spare one), and the phone wont charge.

So if i try to flash it with the rest of my battery life, it migth go very bad if i run out of juice. and my guess would be that since the phone just wont stop rebooting while connected to Chager/PC, it migth scew up the flasing?

EDIT: Not same as the OP's problem, cause his phone seems to boot up to the desktop, while mine never gets passed the Nokia boot logo.

is there a .bin file for this fiasco kernel?

coz there's no way i can access the xterminal. upon reboot to desktop, it restarts right away.

You have to remove Enhanced Power Kernel. That should also remove the modules (haven't tried)...

Even if it doesn't remove the modules it shouldn't break when doing it this way.

The command listed should be done from Windows/Linux using the flasher tool. If You're on Windows leave out "sudo" and "./" in front of flasher-3.5...

You have to download the flasher tool and the FIASCO imagee. Look for "PR 1.3 version 20.2010.36-2" under "Brief Description" and pick the one that applies to Your area (USA, EMEA, India or Global).

1) Turn off Your N900
2) Run flasher like this (on Windows):
Code:
flasher-3.5.exe -F <firmware-image> --flash-only=kernel -f -R
- where firmware image is the name of the FIASCO image You just downloaded.
3) Hold the u key on the device keyboard and connect the USB cable at the same time.
4) It should now flash the kernel only.

Thanks for making that more clear. But my question still stands.
How will the flashing go if the phone keeps rebooting after the Nokia boot logo, and wont stay off without removing the battery while plugged to a PC/charger?
