mbs here u go
1.download the .deb version of the Flasher, install it with:
sudo dpkg -i <flasher-package-name>
If you are using 64-bit Linux, you'll need to force installation as follows:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture <flasher-package-name>
2. Type this: sudo flasher-3.5 -F <firmware-image> -f -R
3. It will say Suitable USB device not found, waiting•N900: While holding the u key, connect the N900 to your computer via USB. Wait until you see a dim screen on your N900 with a Nokia logo in the middle of your screen with an USB icon in the top right corner.
Hope this helps
Also that function will do it, without deleting any data?

I'm stuck with option 1 ("sudo dpkg -i <flasher-package-name>") i'm about to download the image file on http://tabletsdev.maemo.org/nokia_N900/ - as you can see the page is down
Isn't that what you mean or is it me thats totally wrong? I have installed the package (Flasher.deb) with application manager so i can skip that option. Right?

Yes! Thank you very much. Now its working. All my programs are lost, but thats nothing compared to that sweat i suddenly got on my forehead when i thought that all my data was gone. I love the Nokia N900 for it's "openness". I also love Linux as the same choice :-)
Good weekend all!
**** Microsoft!
