hey there
i have downloaded the latest version of the firmware (RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin),
and the flasher 3.5..however, when i try to run the flasher..it just appear for a second and disappear...im using window 7 os 64bit.I would want to try to re-flash my device.i even try the command prompt..and it says that it is not recognized as internal or external command
thanks for ur help~

regards,
dave

you need to open the command line first. then type

cd C:\Program Files(x86)\Maemo\flasher-3.5\

then the flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f

since your using 64bit you need to apply this when it says waiting for suitable device

and straight away, DO NOT REBOOT, this is only if you want to flash your EMMC

flasher-3.5.exe -F <place emmc image name here> -f -R

but the two files need to be in the

C:\Program Files(x86)\Maemo\flasher-3.5\

Nobody is giving you any answers here and as i do not use Windows 7 64bit i would not be able to assist you unless it was a 32 bit so maybe it is the OS that is not allowing the flasher to work.

AHA there you go ... your answer from m4r0v3r.

I don't know I think someone just gave him the right answer

HAHA yes you obviously typed the answer as i was typing my message, well done as i never would have known that.

thanks for ur reply...but can u explain more clearly the one that i have highlighted in green??i dunno which part of the website that i shud apply..i tried the microsoft virtual pc but it says that home premium x64 is not compatible.and the other emmc, i do not know which emmc should i download.is it the vanilla one?

yeah its the latest vanilla one for the emmc. and I mean this part

Workaround for "no suitable device found" problem on Windows 7 x64
Once this message appears, run inf-wizard.exe from libusb-win32 package and create an inf file for "N900 (PC Suite Mode)" and install this inf driver. Then go to Device Manager and update the driver for N900 Phone Parent and the flasher should spring to life...

Issues with 64-bit Windows and Workarounds
According to this post, Windows driver signing can cause problems. You either need to turn on the loading of unsigned drivers or boot your computer to whole another OS. There are a few workarounds:

these are the two to try. but its a lot easier just to get a linux image and install it onto the virtual machine

Great work there m4r0v3r and looking at the answers is mind boggling lol so no wonder i never run any version of Windows in 64bit because i have always found very few dev's write for the 64bit versions and the reason many problems and differences from the vastly used 32bit versions.

where can i get the inf-wizard.exe software..sorry if u feel annoyed.

here ya go fella its no problem

http://sourceforge.net/projects/libu...0.zip/download

sorry I took a while to reply I went and got lunch, now I need to cook it lol

the file is in the bin folder after you extract.

and abill_uk i thought 64bit seems to of picked up speed in recent years.
