then nada

So i think yourcommand line should be

Code:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R

No <date> and no : at the end of the filename

Do you have the RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin file in the same directory ("dir" will show you)? Some people have also reported issues with long file names, so you could try renaming it to OS.bin.

No, that's normal - it's flasher-3.5 v2.5.2 (just to be ultra-confusing).

Is there a particular reason that you've downloaded the original firmware rather than the latest version?

optimistprime | # 17 | 2010-02-25, 15:54 | Report

no, i was just trying any us version at this point. would using the latest make a diff?

noobmonkey | # 18 | 2010-02-25, 15:58 | Report

would jujst be better. thats all.

in your command prompt, type

dir *.*

and let us know what appears. should let us know whats in that folder.
