I looked into that article and tried to restore it using flasher 3.5 on my winxp machine tonight. Am I missing something huge here? because it didn't flash at all. It says to press "u" on my device keyboard. WHAT KEYBOARD? the nokia n800 didn't have a pop out keyboard, and all i have is that stupid lock code screen.

I am so lost!

I'm not sure what in heck it's talking about--I use Linux to flash my N800 (I don't own any Windows cursed computers)... but on the N800, I know you have the make sure to completely turn off the N800... plug the USB into the PC, hold down the HOME button (on the front of the device) while you then use your other paw to reach up and hold power button to turn it on. (To summarize: You plug it into the USB, then hold down the HOME key whilst you turn it on)... that puts the N800 into FLASH mode. VOILA!

Lemme know if you still have any weird problems with it, I'll try my best to answer.

WARNING: I'm only doing my best and therefore, you're responsible for anything that happens as a result, like bricking your N800, causing damage to your PC, causing all your hair to fall out, awakening the zombies or making your mother cry.
