I first flashed the RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin rom, which is the global release, because I have a dutch N900. I saw you tried the middle east/northern africa rom, so I assume you live in the middle east or northern africa.

And I used exactly the same command as you did:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

But that didn't work. So then I flashed it again with the eMMC rom:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R


Both times the flasher-3.5 program said something like "flash succesfull" and after this the device worked perfectly except the for microphone. But that is another problem, and has nothing to do with the memory being corrupted.
did you notice the above step for eMMC command (2nd step) ran less than a second and disappear, when i do this step only it wil ran for one second but the device afterthat is dead you can't switch it on unless i follow and do the other command and it is start to work again. is this happening to you.?

No, the eMMC flash will take at least a minute or two. So I think you did something wrong, because it at least has to say something like "flash failed". Or your memory is even more corrupted than mine was and you can't flash it.

When you flash the "COMBINED" rom of 160MB, does it take a while, and you see "flash successfull" when it's done?

If the flasher tool works on Windows 7 that really shouldnt matter. But does it really work for you? When you run it you should see the progress of the flash, and get a confirmation in the end that the flash was succesfull, do you see that?

yes it does for flashing using the middel east image as for the 1st step without problem...but when it comes to eMMC file it doesn't give me the progress the only thing i guss it is work cz it tell me it is waiting for usb connection and once i connect the device to the usb it start to work but in less than a second.

this is way i am asking if i can donload what you mention in a CD so that i can run it in the CD-ROM as you mentioned. by the way how many times you tried reflashing for the eMMC (2nd step).

and thanks to be patiant with us..

Ubuntu is a linux distribution, it's like a replacement for Windows. But you can try it without installing it. You have to download it, burn it to CD, and boot from the CD. You will then enter the linux environment, and you have to open a terminal (like command prompt in windows) and go to the directory where you downloaded the roms, and run flasher (it's already installed).

This is not that easy for someone who doesn't know what he's doing, and difficult to explain.

I don't know man. If you can flash the combined rom in step 1 without problems, step 2 should work. So think your memory is just more corrupted than mine was. I think the only way is to return it to Nokia.
