When you do
Code:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -u
It will create all those files from the .bin. They might be invisible to you but they are there.

Find out your revision number, they are from 2101 to 2610. Next run this command:
Code:
flasher-3.5 -c -h RX-51:<REV> -2 2nd.bin-RX-51\:<SIMILARREVS> -s secondary.bin-RX-51\:<SIMILARREVS> -S usb
Replace <REV> with your revision number and <SIMILARREVS> with all the revisions on the same line as yours found in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=35

EXAMPLE:
If your revision is 2204
you would make <REV> into 2204
and <SIMILARREVS> into 2201,2202,2203,2204,2205,2206,2207,2208,2209,2210 ,2211,2212,2213,2214,2215,2216

Then flashing:
Run the previous command with correct revision numbers. Take out your n900 battery. Connect the usb cable to n900. Slide the battery back in. The phone should boot with cold flashing. Then run the final flashing command to fix nolo:
Code:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=nolo -f
Or do a normal flash.

You need cold flash if your n900 wont boot to the NOKIA logo or wont enter flashing mode.
