Ok, I guess if the flasher app is not running and waiting for the N900 then the progression dots won't appear. BUT,
Did you watch this?
It's from here!

I followed the steps on that youtube and flasher worked perfectly for kernels!

i can reflash my device's rootfs and firmware with no problems, the only this is flashing the eMMC, everything is fine but flashing the eMMC.

we can see that i only want to free up my memory for installable apps (2gb memory), and flashing the emmc is the only way for that. and that is my problem.

thanks anyway. my memory for apps are kinda populated. 700mb free. and unistalling apps does not free up that space

Download ubuntu desktop image, boot from it as Live Ubuntu.
Download the flasher to diskonkey, and follow linux instructions to flash. (Just a suggestion, don't know if it will 100% work, and didn't try it myself - but this way you don't have to install windows xp.)

Let's take one step back! How much rootfs do you have now? If you have 20 mb you are fine.
