Hello,
Excuse me guys, as I'm a new Maemo user, I actually don't know much in Terminal X and stuff.. I just tried to search alot about questions I was asking in my head and one of those questions were reflashing the device.. I think it's a very useful feature, which I'm sure I'll need it in the future..

I just wanted to create a new thread for new users like me, that would be an easy reference for them while using Maemo devices.

Hi

I didn't want to start a new thread for this question that is not answered in the wiki.

Can i reflash my eMMC with the 2009.41-1.VANILLA on my 2009.51.1 device? Because there is no other VANILLA than this one.

You can, just don't forget the backup.

However 2009.51.1 (also named PR 1.1) brings an incredible user experience, I flashed back too because I had the subjective feeling video steaming has become choppy - obviously it was the video.

In the end PR 1.0 just felt slow and I flashed back.

I suggest reflashing PR 1.1 instead.

I want to reflash PR1.1

but for the eMMC there is only 41.1.

Understand what i mean?

The eMMC doesn't really need to be reflashed, but if you think you might have corrupted something in the OS there is no problem reflashing eMMC 41.1 + PR1.1.

Flashing the eMMC will completely wipe out your settings and restore factory defaults, also, I don't think nokia will make other eMMC releases as they do not preserve user data compared to PR releases.

Please vote something posted in my sig if I helped you & you think it might be useful

As i don't have a Garage acc i give you a thanks and the rest later^^

hope you don't mind .

As a novice i re-flashed my N900 and it transformed the device, which has become a nightmare after PR1.1.

It was easy, yook less than 30mins and all applicatiosn re-installed without problem.

The only issue i had was that the flasher would not work with my version of Win7 64 but worked fine on Win7 32. However I did have to restart my PC and press F8 and enable the Windows option that enables unsigned drivers IIRC.

This was a week ago and only had 2 re-boots and battery life is fantastic.

So long as you back up all will be fine.

Unfortunately this is my second reflash..

The first one was because of 83% rootfs usage from to many devel apps i wanted to test.
