Code:
flasher -f -F main.bin
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc
@itsnotabigtruck: Thanks for the detailed guide.

I'm intending to do a comprehensive reset as my twitter notifications aren't working. I've read that a "clear device" resolves the issue but since I'm going back to factory I might as well do it properly since I'm also experiencing some lag. I previously updated to PR1.2 through NSU (Does this do the same thing?)

In your commands above what is the purpose of the first line? From my understanding the second line accomplishes the comprehensive reset and the first line is just flashing the rootFS. If I am flashing the rootFS and the emmc in the second line the first line seems a bit pointless. Unless I am missing something and there is a benefit?
