I have backed up all my important files and pictures and now I would like 'reflash' harmattan. If I understand right I don't need to flash it because I'm using ubiboot right ? So my question is what is the equivalent of flashing to start fresh under ubiboot?
Thank you
Yes, to correctly flash the device for OpenMode is not just for ubiboot, but it's best to do that for any kind of OpenMode kernel.

The correct way to enter Open Mode is the back-to-back flashing where you first flash the device like in "normal closed mode flashing", both emmc and rootfs. Then you immediately flash the device with an Open Mode kernel, without letting the device to boot up between the two flashing rounds.

If you perform this correctly, the device will start up in Open Mode so that aegis keys are created correctly. This will help you avoid all odd problems caused by running device with incorrect credentials (password problems, strange hangups and boots, general slowing and lagging of device...)

I recommend you do this first, and install ubiboot only after it.
