And did it start to speak Swahili after that? I learnt mine to use sign-language after reflashing.

All fun aside, what do you mean by your thread title, and what was the result of the flashing process, and of course, what kind of flash did you apply?

Reflashing both the firmware and eMMC will remove all user data from the device, restoring it to the original supplied condition.

doesn't this flash both emmc and the firmware?

Nope, flashing the firmware doesn't remove your data, it only flashes the system partitions.
To flash eMMC, wich will format the whole memory, you just need to follow the steps described in the wiki, to which I put a link in my firs post.
