I take it you are in Australia, you can find your local repair centre's here: http://www.nokia.com.au/support/repair-and-recycle/nokia-care-point-locator they should not charge you for doing this, and if they do, make sure you state that Nokia told you it's a free service (They might ask for proof of purchase so take that along with you). The other way would be to do yourself with Nokia's flasher tools but can take a while and can cause more issues if you don't do correctly! hi, the way I would recommend for most people (the easy way) is to take it to your local Nokia Repair Centre and they should be able to sort it within about 20-30 minutes, if that!

If the phone tells you you need to use PC suite then uninstalling some apps generally does the trick. As I said I just went through alphabetically but I bet a search on un-optified apps would be a better bet.

The software on the phone works great for updating the firmware, in less time and by all accounts with less hassle. If it tells you you have to use the NSU then it just means you have too many non optified (yeah, was a new word for me too) applications installed. Initially I just uninstalled everything down to the letter F but now I would take a closer look at what was from the extras-testing (I don't go near devel) or do a search. After the current firmware update it should get easier to do it via the phone since A couple of the updates have been about optimising the firmware update process and keeping space clear for it.

I was told it's a server move or something and it was planned. A friend sent me the .deb for the flasher and the image. I'm pleased to report it brought the N900 back to life and it boots now. I'm very relieved. It worked great in Linux Mint, my main desktop. Another theory on my update breakage is the repository servers being offline right now. If they went off while I was updating it would obviously prevent the tool from completing and leave the phone in a mess. I won't be using NSU again I don't think. I'll stick to flashing the device with a new firmware from now on. Thanks for the help :) Dan Had some trouble downloading the Flasher and image because the website is down this weekend.
