Re: How to reflash N900 in Windows 7 64bit

Did you try flashing a different kernel in between

That helped me to finally get the emmc flashed...

Basically it's flashing PR1.3 then kernel from PR1.2 then EMMC and finally the PR1.3 kernel again.

Here's a small How to...

First of all you need two firmware images PR1.2 and PR1.3 for example

Code:

• PR1.3 = RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM



• PR1.2 = RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM

PR1.1.1 will work also... ;)

Then you need a matching emmc image (PR1.3_original or a custom image file for bigger apps partition)

Code:

• PR1.3 RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin 



• 5GB Apps 24GB MyDocs:

• 8GB Apps 21GB MyDocs:

1. Flash PR1.3

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f

2. Flash only Kernel of PR1.2

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f

3. Flash your EMMC (custom or PR1.3)

Code:

flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f

4. Reflash PR1.3 firmware (see 1.) or try --flash-only=kernel but with the PR1.3 image (see 2.)

How to get N900 flasher to work in Windows 7 64-bit (x64).
Install Flasher 3.5 - http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-d...-downloads.php
Download libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0.zip - http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb-win32/
Press U while starting N900 and attach USB
Wait for the original driver to install.
Run inf-wizard.exe (bin folder in zip) - Run as Administrator
Press "Next"
Search in list and select "0x0421 - 0x0105 - Nokia N900 (Update Mode)"
Press "Next"
Press "Next"
Save .inf file
Press "Install Now"
Press "Install this driver software anyway" on warning message.
You should get "Installation successful." and press OK.
Check Windows Device Manager for "libusb-win32 devices", expand and verify "Nokia N900 (Update Mode)" can be found.
Now you are ready to run Flasher 3.5 with your parameters.

Try to unplug -> start flasher with --kernel only from 2nd step... when "wait for suitable usb device" -> then connect again with u-key holding.... -> when kernel is flashed successfully -> try emmc again... the device should not reboot between these steps... leave the -R out !

It worked fine this way on a 64bit machine running win7 and latest libusb drivers...

good luck

Re: How to reflash N900 in Windows 7 64bit

i started from step 2.
but after step 2.i uexecuted step 3 in same window.failed again

Re: How to reflash N900 in Windows 7 64bit

the process i followed a few failed on me for the first couple of times, then worked just fine, flashed both my N900s (fiasco and emmc) with not problem.

and as j4zz said leave the -R out, it should never reboot in between :)

Re: How to reflash N900 in Windows 7 64bit

Re: How to reflash N900 in Windows 7 64bit
