Is it possible that the image you've downloaded is somehow corrupt. Did you check the MD5 hash, there's a link at the bottom for checking it in Windows.

Well, I tried that now... It didn't help either
I'm starting to think this is a lost case... Maybe I should start to browse around for a 2nd-hand N900... Too bad, I REALLY loved mine

Apologies, I've misread what you've said, you've already done this.

You see, this is what happens if I run the flasher while the device is connected:
Have you tried running the flasher while the phone is disconnected, per the wiki?
Windows:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f
Text similar to the following will be displayed on the computer:
flasher v2.5.2 (Oct 21 2009)
Image 'mmc', size 255947 kB
Version RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
Plug in the powered down N900 while holding 'u' key

I had emmc flashing errors once, too but found out that crossflashing the kernel helped me fixing it. See here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...592#post975592 Maybe it'll help.
Basically it's flashing Firmware 1.3, then flashing --only kernel from PR1.2, flashing EMMC from PR1.3 and finally flashing kernel from PR1.3 back (or reflash the whole PR1.3 from 1st step will do it too)

I think now I've tried just about anything written in the wiki...

Btw, in your post on phase 2 ("Flash only Kernel of PR1.2") you have 2 errors - the first one is that the firmware in your example is not PR 1.2, but PR 1.1.1 (this confused me a bit
), and the second one is in the flasher command - you forgot to add "-f" after "--flash-only=kernel". If you don't add the "-f", flasher will say "there was nothing to do" and will quit

Thanks for pointing me to the errors... I thought the firmware on my harddrive was PR1.2 and not older, but it shouldn't matter anyway. It's basically all about flashing a different kernel. Same for the forgotten flash switch... I always thought -f would be the same as --flash and so I thought --flash-kernel should be enough...

Well, I tried running chkdsk on the device while its on USB storage mode, gained with the rescue kernel, but chkdsk did not find anything wrong, so I'm more or less on a dead end here
Any more ideas? and why does my device - when connected to USB - go into USB mode on startup (as if I was holding 'u') for a second - with the USB icon on the top right corner of the device's screen and all, and then leaves USB mode? It didn't do it before I had this problem (described on my first post on this thread)... Could it be a symptom of something?

So, your n900 is properly flashed with combined and emmc firmware right?
R+D mode is disabled too, right, well then you should have a working phone mate...
Did you try to take out the battery for at least some minutes (and holding the power button for a while when battery is out?)... The phone sometimes really acts weird and memorizes a lot of stuff even when the battery was out for some seconds.
Try it...
:cheers:
