Plug in the USB cable into the computer.
Execute the following command (in linux you have to be root!):
So I don't have to push the "U" key to flash the eMMC?
I already formatted it anyway. I'm charging now and then follow those instructions: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_f...MC_in_the_N900 ?
Whats the problem here? Is the flash memory broken should I better contact NOKIA for a new device? I bought the device used on Ebay and the seller said he had to turn it to the support because the USB socket broke out and he got a new device. The IMEI from device and packaging is different so I gues thats right. And he gave me a document showing the transaction.
Remember, you have to flash the FIASCO image, again, without the -R at the end of the command, then keep the device plugged in and follow the instructions.

They need to be rewritten from scratch, right now it doesn't matter which is flashed first, but it will be very important to flash the FIASCO image then the eMMC without booting up, and in that order, when 1.2 is released.

Sure the instructions could be better but I'm quite happy with what I got.
BTW reflashing solved a problem with poor flash video performance in microB http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=50721 .
Is there a way to get my maps back other then the maploader? Because it is not working for me it does not fin my N900 not in MassStorage mode not in Sync not in Win7 and not on WinXP.

@CutterSlade
that's awesome, so you've managed to re-flash your device.
I was also thinking of re-flashing the eMMC too, but according to this post, everything will be cleared up after installing the next update. I hope I can wait whenever that update comes.

I'm hoping too that PR1.2 is coming soon. I can't install some of the most usedfull apps right now, like simple brightness and so on.
I'm so happy that I decided to buy a device with such a great community.
