N800 reflash: hangs on NOKIA screen

Hi!
I've reflashed my N800 several times to make some tests and I've
noticed that after the reflash, the N800 reboots but then stops on
the blue NOKIA screen with the little USB logo at top right of the
screen. Is this something normal? Shouldn't it boot until the
ITOS2007 desktop instead?
FYI the N800 is not plugged at all (except for the USB cable!) and
I've removed all SD cards.
TIA for your advices on this.

Hi,

It should stop after boot if you have the USB connected and the Flasher
running. Otherwise it should not.

What do you mean by "the Flasher running"? Once the N800 has been
flashed, the flasher (3.0) stops and exits by itself and the N800
does not shutdown (ie. the screen stays on with the blue NOKIA logo
on it) until I disconnect the USB cable from the N800. I've also
tried to switch the N800 off by pressing and keeping pressed the on/
off button at top w/o success. Is this the normal behaviour?

Yes, this is normal. That's so you can continue to use the flasher, for
example, to set rd-mode flags or flash individual components, such as the
initfs. It would be a real pain if the device rebooted after each
communication in these situations.

Hey, this does make sense! :o) Thank you very much! Was (is!) this
the same w/ the N770? I can't remember...
So how is the Flasher informed that its job is now finished? Simply
by removing the USB cable?
