FLASHING FIRMWARE



To flash directly from the XP command line, follow these steps:

* Download and install the latest version of Flasher (e.g. maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe)
* Download the latest firmware (.bin) file and save to %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (default installation path of Flasher)
* Fully charge the battery.
* Unplug charger and switch off the device.
* Open the Command Prompt by going to Start then Run (or Windows Logo key + R) and type cmd then press Enter.
* Change directory to the flasher's program path (TIP: Use the TAB key to auto-complete the commands and file-names)

cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5"

* Connect the USB cable while pressing 'u' key on the N900
* Run the following command:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Remember to replace the RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin with the firmware you wish to update with.

You can sorten the filename of the *.bin file to make it easier also.

The update will take about 3 minutes after which the N900 will reboot and display the Welcome screen with Regional settings.
