For those who blindly installed this before doing your homework. You deserved this. Now you dig yourself out.

Unfortunately, threads in the Maemo area that scream like that are usually lying, in my experience. By exaggerating hysterically, they condition users to ignore them. This makes it difficult to issue real warnings that people can believe.

Thanks.
anyone help please.
I'm trying it in the latest Ubuntu 9 right now.
Also tried it in xp sp3 x86 and win7 x64

Plug the USB in while the flasher is on.. and Right when the N900 vibrates when turned on press and hold U... Is that what you're doing?

It was accidental that I got it to show the usb icon at all. I asked a friend to replicate the situation and got the icon to appear randomly. He held the usb cable steady while I press enter on the cmd flash screen. Even a slight movement would exit the usb mode. Got it to flash to maemo, but failed at the end. Then flashing it again was easier. Now it's back to normal. Thanks

Have you guys tried running the flasher command in the shell first so its "waiting for device" and then hold down the u key and plug it in?

Turn off the device. Completely.
Plug-in USB cable.
Run flasher.

Seeing how you might be stuck - Could you not try install a GUI?
apt-get (or whatever meego uses) and install GDM or XFCE/LXDE.... Pointless, just an idea... Could be cool.

I've had same problem as you guys, fixed it by making sure USB connection is clean, done same with micro usb. I've also used another USB port.

That was quite strange problem though. I could flash my eMMC but I couldn't do the same with the firmware. It just stopped flashing at "Using flashing protocol Mk II.". Guess, weird stuff like that happens.

Hope it helps anyone.

Remove the battery, connected your N900 to the computer;
1- Enable R&D mode: flasher-3.5.exe –-enable-rd-mode
2- Cold flash with your Fiasco Image: flasher-3.5.exe -c -h RX-51:<hw_id> -F <FIASCO image> -f (The code "RX-51" used in the example is the product code for the N900 device. The <hw_id> is the product HW revision, which is a 4-digit code. Both product code and HW revision can be found from the type label of the device to be flashed. The type label is on the back of the device, underneath the battery. )
3- Disable R&D mode: flasher-3.5.exe –-disable-rd-mode
4- Insert the battery and reboot
Hope this will help.
