i was in your shoes but you need to re read the wiki it cant get any simpler than that. Seriously read it a few times its not hard at all
Too much text, Too few pictures, too many notes. Argh. I´am trying to write better guide on my freetime but right now i have just too much to do.

hi ive been trying to flash my n900 and have followed the wiki word for word but when i enter the command into flasher3.5 it asks for permision and then just blinks once and nothing happens, im using vista 32bit, have the fw image in same folder as flasher and am opening it from cmd.
the only thing i can think of is that my laptop is not recognising my n900 in flashing mode, i read someware that if you try to run flasher 3.5 without the n900 connected it should say something like suitable usb device not found but when i do that i get exactly the same problem.
its not an emergency ar anything at the mo as my n900 is ok, but i would really like to know i could use the flasher if i needed to.
I would really appreciate any help or advice, thanks

You do press "u" before you put in the usb right?

Could write here exactly what you write on pc when trying? What image do you use?
I am not a windwos user so probably someone els could help you better.. have you tried burning an ubuntu livecd and doing through that?

In the link below, I've tried to simplify the Hard Reset/Flashing info. There aren't any screenshots in this one unfortunately (I did have in a previous post but mysteriously disappeared in wordpress drafts :S)
I have uber basic knowledge of this stuff and even I managed to flash the N900 so I guess if I can do it, everyone else would be able to.

If you are to flash with both images you could jump step 7 and 8 by removing the "-R" from the first flashing.. it basically just say to reboot after done. If you remove it you could flash the second image at once and then let it reboot.
