I never did it (I simply > plugged it in) and it worked. [jot] If you press 'u' key during bootup N900 set's itself to flashing mode. [jot] Also when you start flashing flasher tries to set N900 device into flashing mode. At least for Linuxes also this works but there were some problems especially with Windows PCs that when you started flashing with Windows PC N900 did not manage to set itself to flashing mode automatically especially with eMMC (memory card) images. [jot] So it is safer to set N900 device manually to the flashing mode at bootup and this is why we have documented the process like this. If flashing works for you without manually enabling flashing mode that is fine.
