Firmware by itself is good. EMMC then firmware is good. Firmware, EMMC, firmware again, also fine. But doing the EMMC last will mess things up because after the firmware is flashed, the N900 internally moves some of the firmware stuff onto the EMMC, so the EMMC flash wipes that moved stuff. That's why you follow up with a firmware flash afterwords.
Edit: Thanks to the post below this, I am reminded that the internal move of some firmware stuff by the eMMC is done during the boot immediately after the firmware flash - so if you don't give the N900 a chance to reboot between the firmware and emmc flashes, emmc flash last should be fine.

I always flash firmware, then emmc, no reboot or boots at all and its always run fine. Does what you said only apply to reboots or boot ups?

Or did the procedure change more than just these two *.bin's?
bro, u still had the pwnix image file for n900 ??
could you please share the ROM file
