Have you upgraded to the latest firmware release?

I think I have, how do I check?

Settings > About Product, should show version number 10.2010.19-1 (not sure if the -1 will be the same for everyone)

mine is Version: 2.2009.51-1.205.1

You've got the Vodafone firmware then, and they've still not released the PR1.2 update. I'd recommend reflashing with the generic UK firmware instead, otherwise you'll be lagging behind at every firmware release.

See the instructions here - you shouldn't need to flash the eMMC, just the firmware. And make sure you do a backup first, just in case.

Thanks, i'm following this;

1. Download and install the latest version of Flasher e.g. maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe
2. Download the latest firmware (.bin) file and save it to %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (the default installation path for Flasher) or to the custom path of your choice.
3. Ensure the battery is at least half full.
4. Unplug charger cable and switch off the device.
5. Open the Command Prompt (Start then Run or Windows Logo key + R) and type cmd then press Enter.
6. Change the directory to the Flasher's path (TIP: Use the TAB key to auto-complete the commands and file-names)

cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5"

7. Hold the u key on the device keyboard and connect the USB cable at the same time (see the Flasher documentation)
8. Run the following command:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Replace RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin with the firmware you wish to update (The name of the firmware image file you downloaded in the beginning).

After I run number 8, nothing happens. Any suggestions?

I'd run the command before attaching the USB cable, and rather than using their instructions would ensure that the device is not connected to anything (usb, power), power it down, then just plug in the usb cable (and it will automatically boot to flashing mode).

We are going OT here though, you may get more views (and therefore more people who've seen your problem) with a new thread specifically about the flashing question (with a title to match). I only use Linux to flash for example, so am just going from what I do there.
