Then you know this will flash your rootfs (programs and system files)
Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
And that this will flash your eMMC (MyDocs and personal files)
Code:
sudo flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
But if you do this.. it will only flash the kernel
Code:
sudo ./flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R
By doing the first you will only touch the programs and system files. It will not touch your personal files.. and if i am correct your backups. (bad idea to have them on the n900). If you do the second it will remove your personal files.. if you do this you should remove the ending "-R" from the first and do them both. It's pretty much a clean swipe.

The last one though.. the one i was thinking of first will only swap the kernel out. This is good if something went wrong with the kernel. It will not touch your programs, system files or personal files. You would not notis anything different from before (if you didn't oc.. then you have to oc again).

Hope this was clearer for you

I am not sure.. but maybe you could use the usb-cable while you are at the locale settings after you removed the battery.
