Hello,
Excuse me guys, as I'm a new Maemo user, I actually don't know much in Terminal X and stuff.. I just tried to search alot about questions I was asking in my head and one of those questions were reflashing the device.. I think it's a very useful feature, which I'm sure I'll need it in the future..
I just wanted to create a new thread for new users like me, that would be an easy reference for them while using Maemo devices.
However 2009.51.1 (also named PR 1.1) brings an incredible user experience, I flashed back too because I had the subjective feeling video steaming has become choppy - obviously it was the video.
In the end PR 1.0 just felt slow and I flashed back.
The eMMC doesn't really need to be reflashed, but if you think you might have corrupted something in the OS there is no problem reflashing eMMC 41.1 + PR1.1.
Flashing the eMMC will completely wipe out your settings and restore factory defaults, also, I don't think nokia will make other eMMC releases as they do not preserve user data compared to PR releases.
Please vote something posted in my sig if I helped you & you think it might be useful
As a novice i re-flashed my N900 and it transformed the device, which has become a nightmare after PR1.1.
It was easy, yook less than 30mins and all applicatiosn re-installed without problem.
The only issue i had was that the flasher would not work with my version of Win7 64 but worked fine on Win7 32. However I did have to restart my PC and press F8 and enable the Windows option that enables unsigned drivers IIRC.
This was a week ago and only had 2 re-boots and battery life is fantastic.
