When you run the flasher command, one of the command-line switches you use is "-R" which tells it to reboot after flashing. If you're doing the eMMC then you first reflash the firmware without adding the "-R", then reflash the eMMC with the "-R".
In reality, this doesn't matter at this stage - it's only after PR1.2 that it becomes critical to flash it in that order without a reboot.
