If it fails AT ALL - DO NOT REBOOT. Being a user-land tool, sometimes flashtool fails If you get error messages from flashtool, try it again. If it fails repeatedly, try burning back the saved backup.rom ./flashtool -v -w backup.rom (you did save it, right?). Whatever you do - DO NOT REBOOT. The ROM is only read at power-up time, so you do not want to reboot until you are sure the burn succeeded.
