Here are the steps;

Step 1: Maemo flasher-3.5exe > Open it up > type; flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MRO_ARM.bin -f -R

Step 2: it will say "device not found"; plug the usb in the N900 - wait until "Nokia" comes up then proceed to the next step

Step 3: type the next command; flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Last step: you will see your N900 starting like out of the box.

What version of Vista were you running? 32bit or 64?

I hear a lot about compatibility-mode. Did you have to turn it on? Just want to document the steps on the wiki.

Yes.

Well basically just follow the steps which I previously posted.

Download the flasher > open it up on your PC > type the first command & plug the USB into the N900 > once it's done it will come up with "Nokia" with a white background > type the second command > once that's done, the N900 will restart & VOILA.

It looks like you flashed the eMMC too.

Did you buy your N900 or receive it from the Summit? The wiki advises to contact 'Nokia Care' for problems with the eMMC. If you bought yours and didn't have any problems flashing the eMMC, perhaps that 'advice' on the wiki needs to removed.

Don't have one myself. This was done by a friend.

You'll also need a copy of the eMMc;

http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php

Called; RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.42-11_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin

Then follow the steps posted.

Doesn't matter in a moment of genius I'd kept them on the old sim. They copied even though the sim was inactive.
