Does the N900 provide a JTAG or a serial console over USB?
It'd be very helpful for fixing stuff if one screws-up with partitioning the mtd device or uploading the ubifs.
I would like to avoid pulling to pieces my N900 once it finally arrives, just to get myself a "seatbelt" for "just in case i screw-up".
With jtag over usb available, it should be possible to even wipe the device entierly (including the uboot bootloader, which is most probably used) and still recover from it, provided one had kernel and os image.
I think that this what the flasher uses, though without an actual device (thanks for the delays...) it won't be possible to check.
The sheevaplug offers these options via built in JTAG and Serial interface hardware conected to its USB Peripheral interface. It's a nice approach, but the N900 doesn't do that.
I still have this problem. Flashing both rootfs and eMMC with PR1.3 images didn't fix the problem, so something still hides inside the phone which makes it buggy with this one operator's SIM-card.

You can't solve that problem with reflashing. It is operators.
