3) press 'u' and connect USB cable, N900 starts
4) on computer

Code:
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)

Version RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
USB device found found at bus bus-0, device address \\.\libusb0-0001--0x0421-0x0105.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2101
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_MR0
Booting device into flash mode.
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

After much ado...i decided to move to a linux platform to try it out and i get the same error even while running it in sudo mode.

I have also seen the cold flash option, but it was only advised to do it if a certain boot-loader test failed, mine passed which means i do not need to continue along that path. So please what am I missing? Can anyone help?
1. Don't remove the battery! Battery MUST BE FULL CHARGED
# Install Flasher for your OS (Linux, Mac OS X or MS Windows)
# Grab the recent Vanilla eMMC image (.bin file) from the Nokia repository. There isn't always a new eMMC image for a new COMBINED image, as usually the content of eMMC doesn't change with new versions of the system.
# Navigate to the directory where the image file was saved (Windows users: if you don't know the full path to the image, copy it to the flasher directory)
# Execute the following command (in Linux you have to be root! On windows you have to be admin!): Replace RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin with the name of the most recent VANILLA file you downloaded

Here is link read it how to flash your devie.
