| − | + | :Hi Quixote, yeah, you have to install a method for the N900 to find the kernel you wish to boot. uboot13 is really simple (though it was a bit trickier when using the kernel-power package). If you wish to reset your N900, flashing it with original firmware should do the trick to get the "untouched" property. [[User:mmn|mmn]] 13:47, 10 Nov 2012 (CET) | |
