Sorry guys it looks like i was using the wrong tool notice "flasher 3.11.5 (May 17 2011) Harmattan" This is for the new Meego operating system im guessing which will hopefully bring back maemo to a maintained state, I needed the freemantle tool. Any ideas when it will be out of beta ? It seems to be flashing now, no need to hold down 'u' just connect.
