 Has anyone had the same problem?

0.2008.14-9? Where did you get that version (and the device) from?
Your description is vague - What *exactly* was the issue with flashing
it? Any error messages?

He is using Windows, so, yeah - the tool should be picking up the latest 
firmware automatically. The issue is more likely related to what Ryan 
was saying about non release hardware.

The Windows tool is actually quite nice. It does have one flaw - it 
makes you connect the tablet whilst it downloads the firmware, which is 
not a good idea IMO. It should allow the firmware to be downloaded first 
- though I'm guessing it's using the tablet to get the MAC address info, 
so maybe it's just a design flaw mascaraing as a questionable practice 
:-) Should probably give the option to manually enter the MAC address, 
or at least, remember the last one, so that the painful wait on battery 
is lessened. (NOTICE: I use a Mac now and have only used the Windows 
flasher circa IT OS 2007, so it might have changed by now..)

 Internal release for the RX-48. Clearly this is an internal pre- 
 release device.

 Well, the issue is that there's no public images available for RX-48.  
 The RX-34 and RX-44 images don't have the stuff needed for the RX-48,  
 so getting them running on the RX-48 isn't going to be an option like  
 it was for the RX-34 back in November with the RX-48 image.

Yes, Ryan got it right. It was given given to a friend of mine directly
by Nokia. As someone else mentioned using the RX-34 and RX-44 images is
not an option[1]. In any case, I can't even access them on
tablets-dev.nokia as it says my ID (MAC address) is invalid. And the
windows tool comes up empty, and asks for a binary.

I guess all I need is an updated image, if that is possible with this
device. I've contacted Nokia directly and I'm waiting to hear back.

Thanks,
Pete

Actually I'm not bound by OS, but no, the tool doesn't seem to find any
update and is asking for a firmware file to be loaded manually. And
getting that has proven to be quite the challenge, as it appears that
this is a pre-release model.

Thanks,
Pete
