Re: please help with flashing
 
Did you check if flasher been installed under /usr/bin/ ? Probably more like /usr/local/bin/ so you could try sudo /usr/local/bin/flasher-3.5... If not, try "find / -name flasher-3.5" to find it.

hi thanks for the reply, i have checked that flasher-3.5 is in usr/bin/ foilder and it is,
i have also tried cd to usr/bin/

and this doenst make a difference!
im going to uninstall flasher and reinstall

i tried

sudo apt-get remove flasher-3.5 and got error

E: Couldn't find package flasher-3.5


so possibly a problem with the installation of flasher?

The --force-architecture option is not needed. And from the above command, it looks it the package didn't get installed because of the space between maemo and _flasher. A re-install should work.

Code:
sudo dpkg -i maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.deb

Re: please help with flashing
 
Instead of downloading the .deb file you can try to use the
tar.gz one. Download the file und unpack it. So, you don't need
use dpkg :-)

Re: please help with flashing
 
hay, i downloaded the tar.gz version , unpacked it to

home/martyn/

Code:
sudo ./flasher-3.5 -f RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin -f
and get this error

sudo: unable to execute ./flasher-3.5: No such file or directory

Re: please help with flashing
 
use the same TAB key trick to auto-complete the firmware filename after entering RX-51. If it doesn't work, the file isn't there. Do an 'ls' and make sure the file is in the folder.
