If you are confident you have followed the instructions in the wiki and you're still getting these errors, it's broken. Send it back to Nokia. W

The supposedly infallable Wiki seems to have been rewritten lately (no date given), presumably to an even higher level of infallibility, so you might take another look.

I myself found rebooting essential between EMMC and regular flashing (couldn't complete the second flash otherwise), but I'm not sure which version of the Wiki I was following -- but it was the current one at the time, and it couldn't have been more than a month or two ago.

Despite statements about flashing not working with 64-bit Win 97 in this thread, I have flashed successfully with 64-bit Win 97 more than once.

SO, my sympathy lies with the OP. Flashing can be confusing.

I know this sounds stupid, but the wiki has emphasised:

Turn off phone (I take out and replace the battery, and cover! to be sure)

Issue flasher command without conneting phone. DO NOT use -R (force reboot) command at end of command string

hold down U key on N900 when plugging in and keep holding until either usb icon appears on n900 screen or flash starts.


ALWAYS flash emmc (vanilla) Before Rootfs

DO NOT reboot between vanilla and rootfs (do not use -R at end of flash command). however take out and refit battery between flashing vanilla and rootfs.

I killed my n900 this weekend trying to load QT libraries - rootfs 100% full and not able to resolve without reflashing
Although I reflashed on Ubuntu Linux, it still took 3 attempts before Emmc flashed succesfully.

I'm not trying to treat you like a Noob but the above instructions are from the latest wiki page...

otherwise, off to Nokia care (lol) with you. Good luck

I flashed my N900 yesterday with both Vanilla and Fiasco images and followed the WIKI step by step and I had absolutely no problems what so ever and I used the -R option when running:

Code:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
So I can vouch for the WIKI.
