Ah... I see...
Instructions are missing a key piece of info - that you must manually boot phone. They state that it will reboot automatically.
Seems to have worked so far. Time to check whether flashing solves my original problem.

You can't flash using 64 bit windows. It is stated quite clearly in the wiki, the only information you will ever need regarding flashing.
I suggest you use the power search to search the term 'updating', click the first result and read.
It seems your only issue is user error!

Is there anything I shouldn't expect to be restored from the backup???
My apps and settings have not been restored.

Flashing did not solve the original problems.

-"Duplicates" of images still appear in Photo list.
-Virtual keyboard still fails to appear.
-Auto-capitalization and text prediction still do not work much of the time.
-Conversations app still closes randomly.
Could a bad battery be the cause of all this???
The phone's not even a year old.

IIRC maemo wiki firmware flashing guide instructs you to first flash emmc with flasher without -R switch and then with it. Also guide says that you should avoid using 64-bit windows. Looking what you have posted makes me wonder that have you really read wiki guide _completely_ before doing anything.
.edit
also your problems list is way to vague and useless to begin any debugging.Please be specific!
..edit
from where you have installed apps?testing or devel?

My final attempts (the successful one included) came from these instructions in the wiki:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
I assume you mean my problem list is "too" vague, but I don't know how much more clear I could be. It makes me wonder whether you've read this thread _completely_ before responding, because the first post, and the previous threads to which it refers, are exhaustively detailed.
Most apps have not come from testing or devel (actually, I don't think any came from devel).

What error does it show when it closes randomly?
