    Guys I really don't understand that either. But you should definitely know why am I doing the eMMC flash. My device doesn't cooperate with computer as well. Either my nor my mom's and dad's laptops. Two of them running on W7 and one of them on Vista. Neither of them works. So I decided to flash the whole device. I bought it after the first user but he says he has never had such a problem. Strange.

    Anyway, don't worry I didn't restart the device while flashing nor between FW and eMMC flash. I know what -R in the end means.

    I am doing it like this everytime I try it. I even tried to download the very first FW and the very first Vanilla. FW flashed as usual without any problems but Vanilla stopped at the same output...as usual. Even after renaming.

    Ok...I am doing it like this:
    flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
    and after it is successfully done I type this and press enter:
    flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

    ...but than it happends, it stopps on the last output you can see on the screen. Then there is the "typing outline" again where I can type something new. So actually that's why I cut the screen like this because nothing else happens after that last line.

    Here is the screen when it's happening in 2 windows:


    Then the window just disappears. I just can't do the Vanilla flash at all ffs and it is irritating me I want to do it and repair the "plug-in to PC" problem ://

    hi, i haven't read through this so sorry if this has been covered already...

    it seems to me that you flashed the os and reset the device afterwards by using -R at the end of the command

    re flash the os and make sure there is no -R at the end of the command then flash the emmc with the -R

    and if thats not the case try leaving the battery out for a few mins and/or re download the vanilla file

    I made a mistake (late) last night when saying FW = kernel.
    It should be kernel+rootfs.

    Perhaps this is also worth trying:
    http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/MMC
    (READ first and follow the steps exactly)

    If you can boot MeeGo form microSD, you can try some repair operations on the eMMC, such as fsck and repartitioning. Then you can try flashing again.

    Once my N900 refused to boot. I ran MeeGo from card and copied all the important stuff in the eMMC, and then flashed it.

    And it doesn't hurt even if you fail to set up MeeGO because everything is done on the microSD card and does not mess with the internal memory.

    Didnt want to start a new thread so I'll post here for now.

    Seems I can flash the "RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin"
    image just fine. Then I get to installing the emmc and the last line tells me "Suitable USB device not found, waiting." Then nothing happens.

    Even if i try to install the emmc first I get to that point then stop.

    After I install the "RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin" image I have 20-30 MB left in Memory for installable apps and nothing runs because the device is "low on memory".

    Right now the wiki is down so I cant get to the page where I could try and re-download the emmc image. Not sure if that is the problem.

    Running win 7 and used the "libusb-win32-bin-1.2.2.0" method to finally flash my phone. I do have Virtual XP mode installed but didnt have any luck with that.

    Any other way I could clear out the Memory for installable apps if I cant get the emmc flashed?

    Thanks.

    so i notice that when i try to flash the emmc it will tell me no suitable usb device. then unmount the n900 from update mode and remounts it in pc suit mode.

    right now i have about 5 mb left in installable app memory. i have managed to install rootsh and filebox. i used to have preenv games installed before i flashed the os. i have tried to find if they are still on the device takibg up space with no luck. any one know where i can look to d
    elete old date?

    thanks.
