Ever since I switched over to AT&T I have been having some very strange issues with my device (read: ever since a customer service rep. suddenly pulled the battery out while it was running)

1. The N900 has been rebooting with the following message on restart:

unexpected reboot, your kernel settings were not saved

2. There have been sudden changes in all titles (everything has a bunch of letters and numbers before things as simple as yes and no buttons).

3. I am also asked to allow roaming to connect to the network internet (otherwise I cannot connect) even though I am fully within the coverage area. Even then the connection keeps getting disconnected.

4. X-terminal returns no errors.

So I decided to attempt a flash ( renamed firmware and eMMC as RX-51.bin and R.bin respectively)

However, when I run :

flasher-3.5.exe -F R.bin -f -R

I receive:

R.bin: %m

Any thoughts?

%m usually comes when the path of the bin is wrong or not found. So I would like to ask if you are using Windows or ubuntu?

If it is windows, you are expected to type

Code:

flasher-3.5.exe -F C:\XXX\XXX\R.bin -f -R

My Suggestion, move the "bin Images" into the folder

Code:

C:\Program Files\Maemo\Flasher3.5\

Then run the command as you have typed earlier. Make sure filename is correct.

Also If you are trying to flash the eMMC, do make sure you have Nokia PC Suite and Follow the guide as stated by RiD in the above post.
These instructions are for Windows....
