Step by Step Method of Flashing using Flasher: This method is windows based method (esp XP), but if you have got other operating system (Mac or Linux), you can get a link.
You may experience problem if you are running windows seven/vista. You will have to flash the device in xp mode under Seven x64 and it will work perfectly. 3. via Seamless Software Update (SSU): This method is same as FOTA (firmware over the air) in symbian mobiles, but it has been named as Seamless Software Update (SSU). Your N900 will notify you of an update when one becomes available, just as it does for application updates. You may initiate the update process immediately or, if you prefer, ignore it for the moment and wait until your phone is, say, fully charged and on a good WiFi connection. The process is:
