1) download flasher
2) download eMMC image
3) run ./flasher-3.5 -F <eMMC image> -f -R

that's pretty straight forward i would say...

2, i download the eMMC from nokia website with the following name "RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM". it is around 156MB size with extension file of .bin,

3. i tried to run the command using the flasher as "c:\program files\maemo\flasher-3.5>$ flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM -f -R"

but did not recognize the command also i tired the other command "c:\program files\maemo\flasher-3.5>./ flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM -f -R" and also didn't recoginze.

That's because you're trying to execute UNIX commands in Windows.

Here's the Windows relevant portion of the document: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_firmware#Windows

Hi,

It seems that you ar mixing Unix/Linux commands... $ and ./ are used with Unix/linux. You can try the following:
C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe /?
- that shows the help info

Then the actual command would be like:
C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM -f -R

.. I dont' have N900 yet (still with N810 and that is not with me now)
so can't help much more, but anyway that is the syntax....

Hope this solves the problem...

That's the firmware image. Just checking, did you really mean to download the "Middle East and North Africa" version or did you just get the highest-numbered one?

The eMMC image is RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin.

You should flash both the firmware and eMMC images.

You need to specify the full path of the firmware image, or (probably easier) just move it into "c:\program files\maemo\flasher-3.5".

in addition to what kris and lma pointed out (location of the image file and correct eMMC image file), don't forget to specify the full name of the file, including the extension .bin!
so the command would look like this (all in one line):
c:\download being the location of the image file. if this path contains spaces, you have to put the whole path in double quotes "".

Thanks to all....finally it works with me and the falshing and programming completed. BUT still my original probelm is not solved yet "Memory card corrupted" and i can't do any things with this device only to call.

it good to share with other that the below command shall be used in Windows expect you need to cahnge the eMMC name and you must add the estenion .bin

"flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin -f -R"

again is there any other solution besid doing falshing and sending it back to nokia....please experts help.
