All are laptops no desktop. Main issue is driver on N900 is not being installed on the laptop. When I plug in the N900 with pressing down U button, I get into the flash mode.

Then driver on the n900 tries to install on Windows XP 32 bit/Windows 7 64bit. But install fails.

Not sure what is wrong with 770Flasher on Mac OS 10.6.

Would it be safe to flash FIASCO aka *COMBINED* rather than eMMC aka *VANILLA* after attempted failure of eMMC? FIASCO firmware won't get me the ringer. I have to make sure this works. If driver causing the issue in Windows machine then this too won't work.

Going from current up to date firmware to FIASCO, no issue with drivers. All worked fine.

Now, from FIASCO -> VANILLA, brought up the driver issue failure on Windows Laptop machine.

I tried it with Mac OS 10.6 and 770Flasher, but no luck:

I am not sure why it says <no version> for "Version of sw-release".

Don't mess with x64 windoze, as it won't help here, nor is the case. I can't guarantee anything, but maybe Your NOLO is screwed? Search for "cold flashing" and try that.

Success. Problem solved.

I flashed it with Windows 7 32bit laptop and Flasher 3.5. On this machine I only had Nokia PC Suite, not Nokia Ovi Suite. Everything is back to factory default.

For future reference I followed these steps for Windows 7 32 bit and Flasher 3.5:

I tried to flash my n900 with firmware eemc using flasher 3.5 The first flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f worked then after when I used flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f it says flashing cmt-mcusw sending request 0X50 failed : No error and stops.
What's the solution for it. Also the device driver is not properly installed message pops some times.

Please help,
