Wow, this is the first time I got the Device Malfunction, shut down in 10s.....

*Really doesn't want to reflash PR1.3 and reinstall all applications....*
WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I thought I was going to have to reflash pr1.3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I searched the flashing tutorial, combined the reflash and kernel only commands into THIS:

C:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.
002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R
flasher v2.5.2 (Sep 24 2009)

Ran it from Start>Run>cmd

And within 3 seconds My N900 was flashed back to the stock kernel!!!!!!!!!! I didn't lose anything! It is like the reboot loop never happened!!!!

This is MAJOR news to me (maybe not to you) but everytime I mess up, I always reinstall the firmware wich is very time consuming. NOW I know I can just install the kernel through the Windows flasher and within seconds, all is exactly as it was before I messed it up!!!!!

Wow. I just knew I was going to spend the next hour restoring applications...

EDIT: Here is the command to use via command line once you navigate to your folder's location if different from mines:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel -f -R
