They are independent of the tablet. You start the flashing program on your PC and turn on the tablet while holding down a key. There is a recent additional option of flashing from the device itself, but flashing from a PC is the recommended method.
I believe that you can reflash an unbootable device, but please confirm this with another source before relying on it. Please ask on the maemo developers list to confirm. YMMV. I have found the following links which support my view: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5664 http://www.crypticide.com/dropsafe/article/1991#comment-2834 http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=258012 The first link above looks like the guy had partially flashed his device, but the fix appears to be to recharge, unplug and reflash.
