Are you using XP? It may be simpler to just flash directly. Its simple and takes less than 5 minutes.

1. Download and install Flasher (maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe).
2. Download the firmware file and Save to 'c:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5\'
3. Open the command prompt. Start + Run. Type cmd and press Enter.
4. Change directory to the flasher program.
Code:
cd "c:\Program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5"
5. Connect USB cable while pressing 'u' key (details on the wiki)
6. Run the command on windows is
Code:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
I'm using Vista Premium, and this isn't working for me. When I execute the last part, it does nothing and puts me where I was before the final code...

Thanks to Jiiv, who helped me over the phone. Helps to have local Maemo heads in the midst, and a good Linux Live USB drive. XTerminal saved the day...

AFAIK it doesent't works in vista or seven.

I flashed the device in xp mode under Seven x64 and it worked perfectly.

Are we stuck to the same update process for standard FW updates, or is that process more "automated" by just using the device?

Kind of lame the Flash process will not work with Vista or 7.

Full flashing from a computer is intended as a rescue mechanism. Normally, updates will be made available via Seamless Software Update (SSU).

Your N900 will notify you of an update when one becomes available, just as it does for application updates. You may initiate the update process immediately or, if you prefer, ignore it for the moment and wait until your phone is, say, fully charged and on a good WiFi connection.

The process is:
  1. A blinking notification--the same as appears when application updates are available--appears in the status area of your N900.
  2. Tapping the notification opens the Application Manager which automatically shows the available update. (Should you decide to hold off on installing the update for any reason--busy, low battery, on expensive data connection, etc.--you can close Application Manager. The SSU will remain waiting in the "Update" area of Application Manager until you're ready.)
  3. Tap the update to begin the download and installation process.
  4. Your N900 will prompt you to make a new backup of your data and settings just in case. Making a backup may be skipped, should you want to throw caution to the wind.
  5. Your N900 will close all open applications.
  6. Your N900 will download the update.
  7. Your N900 will automatically install the update.
  8. Your N900 may reboot.
  9. Done.

can you post the steps?

AFAIK, in terms of Windows support, the case seems to be,
Supported: XP, XP64, 7 x64
Not-Supported: Vista, Vista Premium, 7 (x32)

If it works on 7 (x64), I reckon it should work on 7 (x32)

I've downloaded something and basically messed my N900 up, the screen is jumpy and only part of it is displayed at certian times, will doing a Nokia software update through my PC fix this? I uninstalled all software that I downloaded today but that hasnt helped.

In addition, I have windows 7 but could have access to an XP laptop if it would solve my problem?
