I can vouch for these instructions.
No where in your link / post #68 do you mention following the above instructions.

Did you following Post #20 on that same topic?

Name another phone manufacturer or OS running Adobe Flash 10.2? NITDroid on N900 can I believe, and isn't there a DEV version of Flash capable of running on a N900.

Yes, I followed ALL those instructions, I promise you that. In the end there wasn't anything wrong with the N900 itself, since I flashed it on another computer under Windows XP without any problems.

As to Flash 10.2, I can upload a screen capture of my HTC Desire running Cyanogenmod 7 nightly 37 with Adobe Flash Player 10.2.

Nokia maybe brain dead for partnering with Microsoft, but for me that is not a reason to hate Nokia. Nokia churn out good devices and they have been for years, and why should that suddenly stop now? They have already released some good Smartphones, not all perfect, but then what phone manufacture has released a perfect Smartphone that updates it software on a regular basis.
My problem with Nokia is that they released a VERY VERY expensive phone, supported it for about one year maybe a year and a half, and then forgot it even existed.

Re: I love the N900 but...
 
My theory why they went Microsoft....

Didn't the current CEO of Nokia come from Microsoft. I am sure he is still very loyal to Microsoft, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if him and the CEO of Microsoft set out to hook Nokia all along. It would have been a lot more difficult if there wasn't an Ex-Microsoft person at Nokia. Whatever the motive, it's done now, so there is no point slagging off Nokia because of it.

Re: I love the N900 but...
 
i bought my n900 in february (ie I am a maemo noob) and within one week I was able to flash the phone incl. emmc with my Windows 7 64bit pc. All I did was google it, follow the instructions I found, and flashed it in one try without any problems at all.

I just think N900 is not for everyone.. and sadly most ppl dont realize until its too late. From the phone was first released, I knew it was an enthusiast phone (hence the open source os) and there was always the possibility maemo wouldnt become a mainstream. all of this i got from just researching.

I completely agree with you, the N900 was and always will be an experimental phone. I bought it knowing full well what it could (and could not do) and I still love it. I also owned an N800 and two N810s, so I am NOT new to Maemo or to the flasher utility. Go back and read the thread I linked. For some people (myself included) all the instructions failed, even if they were followed to the letter.

Now what I don't understand is how do your abilities to search the net and to bypass bugs relate to the fact Nokia dropped the N900 support a long time ago? That was my main point, not the fact that flashing may or may not work in Win 7 64bit. Nokia sold a buggy phone and stopped releasing fixes, some of which have been reported months before development stopped. Have I not made that clear?
