All,
Here is what I run and the error I get. One caveat, if I run sudo ./flasher-3.5 -r RX-51_2009SE_2
0.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R it works. I just downloaded two copies yesterday from the link on the wiki site "Updating the tablet firmware". Any suggs?

[jpwhite@newkid maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2]$ sudo ./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R

Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

The -r switch for Flasher, means you are flashing a root JFFS2 image. Or at least that is what I gather from the Flasher help.

This is my first time flashing so I am kind of at a loss. Any help is much appreciated as I plan on doing my n9 once I get the hang of this flashing stuff :-)

All,
I am contacting the admins to move this to the n900 section. Sorry about posting here.

When I say it works I mean it tells me waiting for device. I havent tried plugging up the phone and flashing it

If i remember correctly, that was one of the reasons for me to switch back to Debian-based Linux back then, i could not figure out a way, neither from 32-bit nor 64-bit, to flash from FedoraCore15.

But you might just give a Live-CD a go, may that be Ubuntu- or Debian-based.

1.Turn phone off
2.Press and hold u key
3.Plug usb in, phone will boot to flash mode
4.When usb symbol shows in top right corner, release u key
5.Run this command

flasher-3.5 -f -F
RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -R

Hope that helps.
