Re: Maemo Flasher problem
 

Are you following the instructions here? What's the exact output you get when you run the flasher?

Re: Maemo Flasher problem
 

I have flashed my device before and had no problems whatsoever.Is the flasher supposed to shut down if my device isnt plugged in?

Re: Maemo Flasher problem
 

No, it should wait until the device is plugged in.

Looks like i`ll just have to format my pc :(.

Re: Maemo Flasher problem
 

Can you clarify which device you're trying to flash, and which OS you're trying to run the flasher on?

I do have the same problem, i use windows 7 64 bit and flasher 3.5

Re: Maemo Flasher problem
 

Click Start > All Programs > Maemo > Maemo Flasher 3.5 > Maemo Flasher 3.5, right click it, run as administrator
Type the command:
flasher-3.5.exe -F <fiasco image with path, if in the same folder shown, just type the filename, quotes shouldn't be typed> -f -R

you don't have to format your PC if you have Windows XP installed,
Try to stay away from Windows 7 64Bit as it have some issues with the Flasher driver, if everything fails then download a Ubuntu Live CD get a USB Drive , then download the flasher to it and run it from their , follow the Linux instruction in here , another thought , have you tried The NSU in windows XP ?
Dont forget to make sure that The USB cable is not damaged in any way, Fully charge the battery before you try any firmware updates ( if the battery dies during an update the phone will not charge again and you will have to take the battery out charge it elsewhere or put another charged battery in )
