I have never had this many problems flashing before

OK. Windows 7. I hope it is not 64 bit as it still has issues. If you are using 64bit, you will need to use a virtual machine to Flash.

Alternatively Try the following if using a 32bit OS.

1. Turn Off your N900 completely. (Also no USB Cable attached at this point)
2.Make sure you have Nokia PC Suite or OVI PC Suite installed. (Nokia Connectivity Drivers is needed for eMMC Flashing)
3. Run the flasher command (FIASCO Image to be flashed first)
4. Now connect the cable to the N900 and keep U pressed.
5. The flashing should begin without any hassle.. May take not more than 10 seconds to start.
6. Run the flasher command (eMMC Image to be flashed last)

Note: Do not use -R while flashing FIASCO Image
