I think that you will need to reset the phone properly by using the flasher.exe for a hrad reset in your mobile. And try out the following code and in the root user. First gain the root access and then execute the code.

Sudo root
# root
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2010SE_01.2011.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM -f
Then I press down "u" and plugged it in the usb that runs through effectively. Then,  you will need to unplug the device and run.
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_01.2011.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM -f -R

I used Virtual PC running Windows XP. With the above commands I have flash the eMMC PR 1.2. I observe that you need to move your mouse to the apex of the screen and discover the USB tab and choose Attach Nokia in usb form or anything it says and it will load and then say "Booting device in flash mode then appropriate device not found, waiting" You need to go to the usb tab once more and re-attach the nokia N900 once more and if it doesn’t load once more go to the usb tab one more occasion and make out if it is an additional device name communication device and join it also. Then it should flash as well as work. let me know but optimistically this helps.

I literally tried all the advice I could understand - I even booted ubuntu USB - and attempt there - but not recognizing where the maemo flasher installed in ubuntu - I utilized a nice script published on nokia.com forum - which was in fact helpful to everyone but me. Because still with ubuntu - eMMC freezes. application memory is occupied, internal errors occur daily . I even had to uninstall some of the very few applications to be capable to add some new contacts - because they weirdly save in the application memory (or I don't understand where). What could I do in order to solve my problem.
