I appreciate your help, I already have a flood of knowledge about flashing in my head, but we're humans, we all forget sometimes. Here is exactly how I flashed it:
1. Turned off my N900, plugged a fresh charged battery from my Xpressmusic.
2. Opened flasher, executed:
flasher-3.5 -F emmc.bin -f
3. After completion, I executed:
flasher-3.5 -F fiasco.bin -f -R
4. After completion, my phone rebooted, I disconnected it, closed flasher, and the 5 beating dots appeared.
5. I waited 5 mins, no signs. I turned it off, plugged out the battery, plugged it in booted up, and it has been 8 mins with the beating dots.
The wiki warns to not flash the device in this order. Have you tried other way around? Sorry, I'm not sure if you've already written that.
Wiki quote:
"Flash always the FIASCO image first and after that immediately the latest available eMMC image, if needed. Never flash/reflash the eMMC content after you bootup the device. Reason: All the optified content that is moved from rootfs to eMMC will be lost. The eMMC image does not need to be flashed every time when a new FIASCO image is flashed. Flashing the eMMC image also overwrites all data from the internal memory card. (Notice this recommendation has changed to rootfs first, then eMMC. Except for Nokia's download page, where the comment is still wrong on that) "
