I think in both cases no coldflashing is/was needed.

It's just that flasher is a bit touchy under any microsoft environment...
I never had problems under Linux
so, try to download Ubunutu 11.04 from here
burn it, boot from CD and run it as "live"-version (remember your set password, you'll need it for sudo)
Then under ubuntu get maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.deb from http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/
Install *.deb by double clicking it...
Finally open Terminal in Ubuntu and run:
Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F <your firmwareimage> -f -R
Hold U on N900 and connect it...

DONE!
