ok heres the scenario
i used something called install tools from one of the many dual boot your n800 threads, i forget which one (it may help that when i turn on the n800 and load the flash ram os(default) i hear a voice telling me how to prenounce linux )

now i note diablo is out so i get the nokia flasher
and follow the instructions
turn off n800
plug in usb
hold down swap (little house key bottom button) while turning on

however i dont get usb mode i get the boot menu


***edit realised my topic title is misleading can a mod add a question mark to the end please******

i can go to usb recovery mode but that seems different

its driving me insane i have tried everything but i just cant get the little usb icon top right (well i could draw it on with felt tip but im not sure that will fool the nokia firmware installer lol)

please help

i have searched for ;
usb mode and boot menu
disabling boot menu
reflash from dual boot
etc etc
