(edit: Note that the first command doesn't have -R on the end.. important!)
This is correct but i dont think he will understand the first line even so you may have to type it out in dummy style complete as the os.bin bit will throw him lol.

He does understand, what we're saying, but he does have a (for me well known) problem with the flasher 3.5 for windows.

he managed to type in the "flasher-3.5 -F vemmc.bin -f -R" line so I figured he was almost there! The fault wasn't flasher talking to the device, it's not a windows problem as far as I can tell

Here is a thread that really does walk through step by step.. From this morning, I might add!

http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...unread-message

Seriously.. follow that thread very very closely and I imagine you should be fine!

Look at that... so obvious... vemmc.bin... but he said he had read the wiki. So he probably done it both ways. Or not?

done what both ways? The command he entered was syntatically correct.. The file vmmc.bin existed AND was recognised by flasher as an emmc image..

That was not the problem.. the problem was the phone failed to completely switch into emmc flashing mode..

He was using the right command.. I don't get you point..

When I help users out I often get them to rename the bin files to something more obivous.. in my examples os.bin and emmc.bin.. This saves them typing long commands lines and saves me explaining the benefits of "tab completion" on windows..

Seriously, I think the problem he is facing is that he hasn't flashed the OS then immediately flashed the emmc.. I recon that'll get him going..

If he still has problems with GSM stuff afterwards, that can be fixed (or worked around) later.. but first thing, get the thing booting correctly..

Yes this is probably reason that it doesn´t work. Should be probably mentioned in wiki.

If you've tried flashing the OS (without -R) then flashing the emmc straight after.. all without unpluging or rebooting the phone and it still isn't working, I'd be tempted to try either

booting Linux (I've got a relatively simple USB stick solution if you have a 2gig stick laying about)

or

using vmware (again, I have a nice little vm that works in vmware player.. you just copy in the 2 bin files and its menu driven (but not pretty)

The errors you're seeing with windows asking you to install support shouldn't matter.. flasher isn;t using a driver in that way.. cancelling any driver requests should be fine..I thought..

a vm or a linux boot might be slightly safer since it rules out any windows problems
