As a first step for the 2nd reflash, Are you sure you have battery to even boot up download mode?

I tried installing latest Nemo Mobile, and back flashing PR1.3
Well, the battery didn't come to my mind as it was working very recently.
This did the trick and I managed to flash nolo. Then combined image, mmc, and combined once again (as the meego wiki page suggested). Trying to boot it now...
Now I noticed that after `flasher-3.5 -R` the hw revision is detected as 2104. And I cold flashed it with 2101. Is it a problem?

Yes, coldflashing to wrong hw -rev most likely will give you trouble.
Why did you coldflash, to start with? Why did you flash NOLO (which btw is the same as coldflash)

Will re coldflashing with the hw rev detected now (2104) and reflashing combined do the trick?
I did nolo flash as it was stated so in the wiki

I don't know what happened exactly by coldflashing using wrong hw-id, but at least the eMMC is different on different hw-revisions, so you might encounter failing uBoot or dunno what. I'm also not sure what will happen when you coldflash with differnet / correct(?) hw-ID now, but I guess it can't be worse than what already been done.
cheers

ps: again: NEVER do coldflash unless you clearly see that NOLO doesn't work anymore. coldflash isn't needed for anything else but restoring broken NOLO, and I haven't seen a single report of broken NOLO so far, probably since not even changing OS to nitdroid or nemo does even touch NOLO.

The vanilla image has only one 'mmc' component... Redid everything with correct hw rev and will see what
I wanted to test Nemo on my spare N900. I used the instruction as here: http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/N900/Install/EMMC
But when the flashing was in process I realized that I forgot to install netcat. Then I ctrl+c-ed, 'cause I needed to leave.
Now I wanted to try flashing again, but the N900 refused to even power up. Tried cold flashing... succeeded, but I'm not sure about the hw revision
Thanks
