I doubt the downloadable flasher3.5 closed source binary would work on arm. On the other hand the N900 comes with flasher compiled for arm preinstalled, which is what was used to flash one n900 from the other.

On harmattan there is no trace of such a tool unfortunately.

Maybe 0xFFFF will do the job?

I have just got a Raspberry Pi. it is really nice card device. so it comes to me that how about use RPi as the PC to flash handset like a true x86 or amd64 PC.
as i have a n900 with broken screen, maybe i can try.
