A bit more info, ouput, problem explaining would be helpful for anyone wanting to help you. Could be everything. Maybe a broken download?

My issue is that eMMC doesn't want to flash. I have the right file. Both files names are the same and have been copied to the right directories. When I plug in the device the usb icon pops up along with the nokia logo. After a few seconds the usb icon fades and a yellow LED light comes on. The nokia logo is the only thing that remains.

Are you following the guide on wiki (freemangordon linked to) and do as nokiabot explained?
Following that should go the right way.

When you rootfs works and emmc not, what are the differences?
Do you keep holding 'u'? Do you pull battery and insert with with 'u' pressed after starting command on PC? What is ghe output in console? And so on ....

Yes I'm hold down the "u" key. One thing I notice is when you flash the firmware files the nokia's golden long only appears when it's 'erasing'. When the eMMC files are entered into the maemo-flasher w/ 'U' pressed down the nokia logo appear along with the usb icon for a second. Then for some reason the usb icon fades away and the yellow light appears.

Maybe I should list my steps?

As I explained elsewhere, including in the reply to avoide's PM, I had exactly the same problem for over a year. I followed all the steps correctly, had the correct image, but it still did not work. On two different machines in three different OSes. Then I bought a new PC and it worked right away. How many machines have you tried it on?

Both my HP notebook Window 7 and my Compaq desktop Windows XP.

My last hop is probably going to be a MAC >_> (I HATE MAC) ha-ha.

leave thatemmc alone as it really does not have any use just format it.

That is exactly what I would like to confirm after having seen the flasher output!
My spare device also did not finish eMMC flashing but at least it formatted the device, so I could flash rootfs. And everything was fine (no need for any contents of eMMC image).
