What's the output from "df -h" now? Is it still failing to mount the eMMC partitions?

It doesn't recognize the USB? When only minutes earlier it installed the firmware ok :(

When it did mount the emmc, it rebooted ok, yet the memory was only 70MB free.

the out put from dh is still the same as I earlier posted.

It's fustrating as my phone is as much use as a brick.

Tried everything, but still get the awaiting USB and then Error Code 1 message. To me, it should be simple, yet the whole thing is flawed as some devices work but this method, others do not. Flashes ok, but the EMMC just awaits the USB and then Error. Still got low memory, yet surely it should have a factory reset facility that works.

All I can suggest is using another OS to flash the eMMC - a bootable linux distribution for example.

It sounds to me like you are reading the rootfs memory. 70 mb is about right for that.

Any suggestions, have tried on XP and Vista, OS flashes fine, but the EMMC - error 1.

I am trying again, and if no success, back to Nokia :(

I had problems trying to flash the eMMC on XP as well. I used a bootable linux CD (e.g. Ubuntu) and it flashed first time from there.

I am going to send it back to Nokia today, I am not happy at all.
The device was working superbly, and I was always careful what I put on etc. Then it rebooted, and kept on rebooting.
