Right here's the crack:

I broke my old N900 after insurance etc. so I got a new one, it was all glitchy and slow so after a month or so I decided to flash it, I flashed my old one, l so I knew how to go about it, so using the same software as before I flashed it, but after it was complete it would take ages to load and not read my sim card.

So after reading on here I read that I actually done it wrong and was using old software, so I downloaded what I thought was new software (the third release(I didn't see the 'Latest' in bold on the newest version :| Lmao.)) So I flashed again with the 'new' software and it didn't work, so I read this post: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59007 and realised I was using the wrong software, so I followed the wiki exactly flashing the OS first (which I didn't do before I done the eMMC first..) with out the reboot command (-R). Then attempted to flash the eMMC but it won't work, this is exactly what happens:

- I get the phone into update mode,

- Open up command prompt, changing directory to C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5.exe,

- Run the command: flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin,

-Command prompt prints this:
Flasher v2.5.2 <Sep 24 2009>

USE device found found at bus bus-0, device address \\.\libusb0-0001--0x0421-0x0105.

Booting device into flash mode.
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.

-At this point my computer makes the USB disconnected then reconnected noise and my phone loses the USB icon for update mode, say nokia with no backlight on then the little loading dots come up, cycles about 10 times and then crashes and stays like that.

-The command prompt stays in the previous state and if I remove my phone and re-connect it in update mode, it won't find it.

I'm lost here. Any ideas? I am using Vista by the way.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan.

(I have read all the posts I can find on this and haven't seen this error yet)

(Took me about 10 mins to type this and my phone is still in the crashed state.)
