Hi Alex,

thanks for this insightful post. I only flashed the RootFS and I am satisfied so far.
My question now is if I should do it again but also flash the eMMC. Here (http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...MC_in_the_N900) it says:

N900 users don't need to reflash the eMMC of their device.
My question now is: Should I reflash with the new eMMC contents? What has changed? It would not be a problem at all, I am familiar with all of it, flashed my N900 several times. Backup and restore is fine so far. A qualified statement, preferable from Nokia, if it makes sense / is advised / is required to also flash the eMMC would help a lot.

Thanks,
Corwin
