Prepare your folder with the fiasco image and the flasher utility package in an easy to access place on your hard disk, like drive C:.
Grab the Live-CD from ftp://ftp.lug.udel.edu/pub/siduction...1212092122.iso This is a Debian system.

Boot your PC from the CD. May be you have to access the BIOS settings to change the boot order to start the CD. Inside the running Debian-Live-CD start a terminal application, gain root rights

Code:

su

Mount the hard disk

Code:

mount /dev/sda2 /media/diskpart2

May be you have to change the number in the code to reflect your PC's setup. Change into the directory (folder), where you have the files ready

Code:

cd /media/diskpart2

That is if you have the files on drive C:. Now install the flasher-utility

Code:

dpkg -i maemo-flasher-3.5*

Shut down your phone. Start the flasher in the terminal

Code:

flasher3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Connect the phone now to your PC's USB. This will flash the kernel only from the fiasco image to boot up the phone. If it boots everything is fine.

If not, you have to use the command without the flash-only=kernel option to reset the phone.

Hope it helps!

Please feel free to ask, if necessary
