Still Unable To Flash eMMC Even After Downloading New FirmWare, I Wonder Whats The Problem.?

Anthony-Curtis

Let´s try to brake this down

- You have flashed vanilla image?
- Tell me how exactly you are trying to flash emmc? (whole work flow and order of things what you do)

I gave up with my quest to find responsiveness problem´s source on my device and flashed vanilla and emmc. I noticed that i could not flash emmc with current guide. Have to use vanilla´s guide to emmc flash. I think that guide needs really really good care and some Q&A testing.

When I flashed my N900 firmware/fiasco, in this step, right after flasher had exited on my win xp prompt my n900 booted and asked pin code. Did this happen to you?

I turned off my device (long press power key). Took usb cable off from N900 (left hooked to my computer). Waited so that screen is completely off. Pushed "u"-key and attached usb cable. N900 boots in flash mode. Started flasher from command prompt with switches and emmc image/vanilla.

No Pin.?

It Finds Image It Finds Phone,

As It Puts The Phone In Flasher Mode, Which It Should Already Be, When Connecting And Holding "U"

Im Just Baffeled.!

Be really specific.
Here it is how It went on me

1. Windows xp > cmd
2. USB attached to computer
3. "u"-key + attached micro-usb to N900
--> N900 boots to flash mode (screen with little usb-icon in upper right)
4. started flasher with fiasco/firmware image
5. flasher finds phone and uploads it
6. flasher exits back to prompt
7. N900 boots and asks my pin code (didn't type it)
8. (windows finds device as mass storage here)
9. I shut down N900, long press power button while in pin screen
10. Remove micro usb from n900
11. I start again from step 3. but now flasher with vanilla/emmc image

OS

1. Windows xp > cmd
2. USB attached to computer
3. "u"-key + attached micro-usb to N900
--> N900 boots to flash mode (screen with little usb-icon in upper right)
4. started flasher with fiasco/firmware image
5. flasher finds phone and uploads it
6. flasher exits back to prompt
7. N900 boots and asks my pin code
8. (windows finds device as mass storage here)
9. I shut down N900, long press power button
10. Remove micro usb from n900

eMMC

1. Windows xp > cmd
2. USB attached to computer
3. "u"-key + attached micro-usb to N900
--> N900 boots to flash mode (screen with little usb-icon in upper right)
4. started flasher with eMMC image
5. flasher finds phone

P.S Is This Fiasco/Firmware A Spercific One To Flash With As Im Using,

RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin

Anthony-Curtis

OK. I would like to know did you do exactly as I did? I mean exactly! This is really really important.

Fiasco/firmware depends on your location/country and if I remember correctly the vanilla/emmc image is general "RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin" image to all.
