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

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!

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.
