Re: really need help
 

Try this way;
flasher -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.SEAP.16_EMMC_SEAP.bin -F --erase-mmc=secure

Re: really need help
 

flasher -f -F rootfs.bin; his mistake was the two capital Fs instead...

Actually this is his duplicate thread; the original one was solved with rainisto's help :D

Re: really need help
 

Lol. Two of the exact same treads and different solution.

Tell you... Again :D. Just give the customer a new device.

Re: really need help
 

You are correct :)

I just looked at the --erase-mmc[=ARG] part.
