I messed around a little with partitions, but now whenever I try to flash MMC I get this error:

Code:

[cmptutr@computer n9folder]$ sudo flasher -f -F D4A3D2AC_DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -F nomaps.bin --flash-only=mmc

It gets stuck at 25%. The EMMC image used to work before I messed up the partitions (when installing nemo). How do I fix it?

Nevermind my previous post, found out how. But, I get an error:

Code:

How about?

Code:

flasher -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data=secure --erase-mmc=secure --no-preserve -f -R

erase should not be important
but the no-preserve is (after partition layout changes)

I tried no preserve but it did not fix partition problems. When I boot up with the ubiboot kernel (so i can export partitions over USB) it shows three partitions, but when I boot to Harmattan and run /sbin/sfdisk it shows four partitions.

Erm, would you mind posting your commands and results?

I have the feeling you try to reach flashing eMMC without providing the second "-F emmc.bin"...

Ok, new developments. I'm stuck in a bootloop and when I even try flashing normally, it fails:

Never got that error before... freaked me out. Also, i know that this image was working fine in the morning... maybe after cold flash errors something weird happened?

Repeating:
where are the --no-preserve AND the -F emmc.bin parameters

right now you only try to flash firmware (-F main.bin)
without flashing eMMC you will never get partitioning clean again

--edit
oh and that error I have seen too often (very bad)
