I did a full flash of the 90 meg image and have had no issues, nor any of the weirdities that I've seen others report. The machine has been rock solid. So I would give it a try to download the full rom image and use the flasher 3.5 to flash it.
Nathan.
it gave me a msg
flasher v2.5...(flasher version)
firmaware (file name)
that was it it stop and did not reboot. I don't know what happen. Tried a couple of times. i'm chargingthe battery again.

In Ubuntu I usually flash the device like this:
Code:
sudo ./flasher-3.5 -F <name of the image file> -f -R

I haven't ever used Windows for flashing. But with Linux I do this
1. Turn off the device
2. Run the flashing command
3. Connect the USB cable to the device
4. Wait

At the risk of getting *****-slapped....
"..Note that going backwards will disable the ability to use the cellular modem until you move back to 51. The cellular modem's firmware was patched with the release and isn't compatible with the older version..."
Why can't you backup the "cellular modem" firmware before you "upgrade" to the latest "51" firmware?
If you could do that then at least you can have a way of rolling-back the changes and restoring the n900 to "factory settings" when you bought it?
