rm -rf it's dangerous, don't use it if you don't know what you're doing.

Anyway... -R parameter n the flash windows is required to Reboot the device after the flash.

You must use Maemo Flasher becouse is more secure respect to others suites. Do a flash starting by flashing first the Vanilla image, and after this, flash again the rootfs. Follow this order and don't have panic, everyone of us get your same situation.

Use latest images of the firmware becouse if you had the old cmt the phone module doesnt work. use latest firmware please.

And: dont use to cross post! Use the edit button!
