I mixed up the images and was trying to flash a 770 firmware on a N800.
The error message, however, didn't tell me that:

A warning and confirmation prompt would be nice at this point, if the
device ("RX-34" doesn't match the software "SU-18_...").

I have yet to see any problem, however complicated, which, when
