Help reflashing in OS X
 

So I'm having some problems with my N900 and am trying to reflash. I'm following the instructions in the wiki. But when I type this in to terminal:
I get this:
I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help?

Are you on a PPC machine? I don't think the flasher is PPC native (or universal for that matter).

I'm on an intel machine running Snow Leopard and I downloaded the i386 package.

what happens if you run:

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread guys, I was in the hospital for a couple weeks.

Anyway, I ran this code:
and I get this:
So apparently the file is 64-bit, even though the Wiki says it's 32? My MacbookPro is an old one, so it's only 32-bit. I'm guessing this is the root of my problem... Anyone know what to do from here?

Use Windows :D
(or with a virtual machine!)

The PPC version of Flasher-3.5 works fine on my black MacBook. It was a simple answer, and yet I could not find it anywhere.

Also, make sure that if you are flashing eMMC too, you omit the -R when you are *first* flashing the FIASCO .bin file.

770Flasher *will not work* if you are trying to flash the eMMC because it automatically reboots your N900 after flashing the FIASCO .bin, so you can't get to that necessary second step for eMMC. Perhaps that could be addressed in a new version.

I hope this helps.

I have the same problem on osx snow leopard on macbook coreduo (32bit), then tried on other osx machine: leopard on macbook white core2duo (64bit i guess) and this time it worked.
