Hi,
Unless you have a problem with your existing installation or explicitly want to flash to a "clean slate" I would recommend just flashing to the image.
How come you need to flash in the first place?
Cheers

people say flash emmc vanilla first... maps should be downloaded as and when you need them? id assume. no major advantage of flashing to global firmware tho... just wait for 1.2 to finaly appear!! then maybe flash the whole device... why you flashing for?
only really worth doing it if you have an actuall problem tho!

Flashing eMMC will wipe everything on /home/user that includes Maps data
You need Maps Loader to put the maps back in or you'll be constantly downloading maps data on the move.

Hi again
Actually I am having two problems 1. my battery life is weak...I need to recharge my n900 at least twice a day (these are full recharge cycles) and 2. I get a yellowish patch on on the top left hand corner under the nokia sign, it is mostly visible on white/gray screens specially while surfing on microb....although i have been told by people its just my eyes.

@ cashclientel : I am not sure about the smudge, sometimes i can see it, other times when i want to concentrate on it I can't...strange :S
screenshot:
@ sajman : is the smudge always visible ( its kinda light yellowish fade on white screens) ? battery is probably because i use the phone a lot. 80% of the time i am either connected via wifi or edge, I use it more as a pc, and yes most of my widgets are also accessing the web 24/7. Can i get a bigger battery with more juice? is it available in the market?

alinoor - i can't see any marks on that white image you uploaded so would say this is a hardware issue (i.e. not solved by reflashing)
