Hi, i´m trying to flash my N900 on osx Mavericks, i have installed the flasher-3.5, have done it many times on lion, but since i updated i can´t flash.

This is what reports:

Last login: Thu Jan 2 22:41:32 on console
xxx-xx-xxxxx:~ xxxxxxxx$ sudo /usr/bin/flasher-3.5 -F Desktop/RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f
Password:
sudo: /usr/bin/flasher-3.5: command not found
xxx-xx-xxxxx:~ xxxxxxxx$

I have searched for similar problems on the web but nothing.

Also i wanted to do it in windows partition but there´s no flasher-3.5 windows dowload nowhere, the links on the wiki are all broken.

any help? Thanks!

Hey there, the flasher-3.5 installer is broken on OS X for quite a few releases, I've recently tried from an older machine running Lion to no avail. I'd recommend using VirtualBox or VMWare with a Windows XP virtual machine for your flashing needs. It appears to be the best way to do it these days.

I did it in xp with the provided link to the flasher.

Thanks.

Quick tip: if anyone is having the nokia usb rom drivers not installed donn´t worry, it worked anyway.
