Would I

initfs != kernel

For flashing the kernel on the device you want

Code:

fiasco-flasher -k <zImage> -f

Generally speaking, you can't really brick a tablet with a kernel (unless something really malicious and evil is in there). If it's messed up and you're dropped into a reboot loop then simply reflashing Nokia's kernel will solve it.

If you're flashing from a computer, then:

Code:

flasher-3.0 -k <zImage> -f -R

Otherwise the fiasco-flasher command above will work fine on-device (assuming you have Diablo).
