I didnt bother flashing my firmware because I used the app manager to update the OS....so I went straight ahead to flashing the EMMC then i unplugged it without waiting for reboot so when i turned it on the phone was full of blocks (the thing that comes up when you dont have that font installed) everything from the icons to the letters!! all i see is blocks! help!

You can probably get away with just reflashing the rootfs firmware, but it's as easy to do both really, and makes sure there aren't any issues.
