Re: Flashing n900
i reinstalled the us version.
if you want to comletely flash your emmc and wipe it clean, then be sure to flash the "vanilla" file AFTER that, and leave the "-R" off the end of your original flash command for the US version. |
Re: Flashing n900
I want to flash the os and emmc but i am totally lost. Can someone help me out on how to go about doing this?

Download and install the latest version of Flasher e.g. maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe Download the latest firmware (.bin) file and save it to %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (the default installation path for Flasher) or to the custom path of your choice. Ensure the battery is at least half full. Unplug charger cable and switch off the device. Open the Command Prompt (Start then Run or Windows Logo key + R) and type cmd then press Enter. Change the directory to the Flasher's path (TIP: Use the TAB key to auto-complete the commands and file-names) cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5" Hold the u key on the device keyboard and connect the USB cable at the same time (see the Flasher documentation) Run the following command: flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f Replace RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin with the firmware you wish to update (The name of the firmware image file you downloaded in the beginning). then flash eMMC Grab the Vanilla eMMC image (.bin file) from the Nokia repository Navigate to the directory where the image file was saved (Windows users: if you don't know the full path to the image, copy it to the flasher directory) Execute the following command flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R Text similar to the following will be displayed on the computer: flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009) Image 'mmc', size 241163 kB Version RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA The dim Nokia screen will be displayed for a few seconds followed by progression dots.

Re: Flashing n900
Also can I flash it using windows vista 64bit?
|
Re: Flashing n900
a 32bit xp would be the best.. check the wiki.. ive heared before some users are having prob. flashing on vista
|
Re: Flashing n900
yes.
i did it already on my 64bit with no problems. be sure you download the flasher and then save to your desktop. then right-click and run troubleshooter. it will run the program in xp sp3 mode. i would recomend that you rename the 51.1 version to "pr1.1.bin", and the vanilla file to "vanilla.bin" as i ran into an issue with the length of the file name. put those files in your flasher 3.5 folder (c:/program (x86)/maemo/flasher-3.5) make sure that you type the command to flash: flasher-3.5.exe -F pr1.1.bin -f it will say that it is looking for a device. then hold the "u" button on your n900 while you plug in the usb cable and dont let go of the "u" until you see the nokia logo and the usb connection logo in the top right. it will be faint. the flasher will automatically find your device and install the flash. it takes about 1-2 minutes for this one. when it is complete, your device should NOT reboot, the flasher screen will just say complete. then run this command: flasher-3.5.exe -F vanilla.bin -f -R this flash will only take a few seconds. the device will reboot to your factory welcome screen and the emmc will be wiped. |

Re: Flashing n900
Frankly, I love my N900 but these flashing instructions are a complete disgrace. I've flashed my N900 and it's not difficult, but I think Nokia should have been aware of Vista 64 bit and Win 7 before the N900 was released, and you should be able to just flash it easily in any version of Windows. Flashing is an essential get-back-to-zero skill on the N900 which you need to feel free not to worry about anything.
