flashing eMMC
 

hi a question about eMMC flashing.

the available version of VANILLLA is eMMC content 1.2009.41-1

does that mean i need the firmware version 1.2009.42-11 installed on the device?

the reason is that, i have the pr1.1 installed and when flashing eMMC, it says "device not found, waiting..."

please advise

Re: flashing eMMC
 

No. The eMMC image is the same to all current firmware. The reason it being labelled 42.11 is because that's when the official production firmware is released. The Vanilla will format the eMMC from preproduction N900 to current version N900 with 2G of application storage. Whereas the preproduction is only 256MB. So you don't need firmware 42.11 to use vanilla.

thanks....if thats the case.....there is something wrong here.

the flasher cant find my device, but i did re-flashed the FIASCO successfully.

The fact that you are getting that message means you are on the right track!

I am assuming you are in Linux on a computer.

Switch off the N900.
Unplug the USB.
Hold down the U key on the N900.
Plug in the USB while still holding down the U key.
Watch the n900 screen. It will be dim but you will see it. When you see the USB symbol, stop holding down the U key.
Flashing should begin.

More details in the Wiki.

I managed to flash in windows 7 60-bit with xp mode.
But I did not flash eMMC, I flashed the letho OC kernel.
I assume that if I managed to flash that, I would also be able to flash eMMC
So, keep trying!

i see the dim Nokia and followed by the progression dots, but it says on the wiki, it should only take 1 minute, but im still waiting

Re: flashing eMMC
 

i can flash FW and FIASCO with no probs in win 7 64-bit (XP mode) the emmc flashing is the only problem i have now

Re: flashing eMMC
 

You mean the progression dots on your N900?
If you want to know how the N900 should look like, connected to PC via usb in that flashing mode, I can connect mine and let you know.

Just let me know if you need it.

Re: flashing eMMC
 

it says on the wiki those 5 dots (the dots when you reboot the device) will appear after the dim Nokia logo and then flash, but mine does not flash,

giving me an idea would be great :D
