had the same issue… did the MMC first then firmware.
using windows 7

i unplugged the USB after the MMC update
WAIT for about a few minutes (i think windows needed time to unload the device)

then press U on your N900 and plug in the usb again. when you feel it vibrate,
the flasher should then resume

my phone is working fine now

Can someone please help, I’m using a windows 7 OS, during my first step of holding the u button down and connecting device, then running the command (flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51.bin -f -R), the following information comes up:

Flasher v2.5.2 (Sep 24 2009)
RX.bin: %m

C:\program Files\maemo\flasher-3.5>

Now this is the only thing that happens or comes up, what am I missing? What havent I done?or is my phone cooked!?
