Try the following.

Step 1: Use Windows XP. Do NOT use Windows 7.
Step 2: Download flasher-3.5 for winxp here.
Step 3: Download PR1.3 firmware for the N900 from here. Save the file to: %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (the default installation path of fasher-3.5).
Step 4: Press Start, choose Run and type in 'cmd' without quotes.
Step 5: Run flasher by using the command flasher-3.5.exe -F FirmwareNAME.bin -f -R. Replace the name with the name of the file downloaded. Please make sure N900 is not yet plugged in. The command prompt should say something like 'Suitable device not found... waiting...'
Step 6: If you have Nokia Suite or anything else, kindly close it. The N900 should be switched off. Plug it in using a USB cable while pressing 'u' on the N900's keyboard. The command prompt should start the flashing process. If it doesn't start try booting the N900 while holding 'u'.

I've had this kind of problem restoring a same-device backup as well.
Fixed by flashing just the kernel.
If you have issues with flasher not recognizing the n900, use a linux computer. Lots of problems I've had trying to flash from windows. If you can't find a linux computer just use a live CD on yours.

Are you sure you downloaded the right architecture; 32 or 64-bit?

You have downloaded a 32-bit flasher...

Also it could be your file is corrupted...Re-download it and try...

I don't think there is an 64bit flasher for the N900 unless the harmattan one works on the N900 too. You have to download the tar.gz and use the binary if you have 64-bit linux. (And sometimes you need to add some i386 usb libraries too)
