The FIASCO image will _never_ write to the eMMC, so whichever flags you use, you'll still have the contacts and calendar intact. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, I'd stick with the recommended "./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R"

try starting your own thread! You will probably need to reflash and flash th emmc too. There is a guide on the wiki. It is very hard to brick the N900 so do not worry

If i flash only rootfs, will i have my conversations etc intact?
So no way to backup the rest remotely.
Seems hard to find a good source describing the exact functions for the options of the flasher and what they actually represent and replace in the n900 boot process
--flash-only with one of nolo, kernel, initfs and rootfs plus the combination with --fiasco --kernel --initfs --rootfs
Before i go ahead i just want to confirm i run the correct command, i am a little nervous about this hehe
If i run
"./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=rootfs -f"
I should have the contacts and calendar still intact?
Was a little curious what initfs will do, but could as well mean initialise filesystem hehe so i go for the rootfs option.
