So, did someone used?
if yes, how?

Download from Nvidia developer site Ventana Development Kit for ICS (Tegra2) and you'll get everything you need for nvflash include drivers. For tutorials how to use nvflash you need to find out yourself. XDA has lot of them, wikipedia too.

I did a little stuff, mostly download from phone to pc and not all commands working.

I flashed CMW recovery and had an error; when i rebooted phone dosent boot, when i conect to PC with volume down preset, in device manager it is an APX device (nVidia Flash tool);

How can i unbrick it, restore boot?

[CoaBalboa]

with same command used to flash recovery. one thing, you need to know your partition list, otherwise you can flash boot on diferent location (partition).

SOS -> recovery.img
UDA -> /data - "user data area"
USP -> Staging

When I do same command in my adb shell I get that there is 12 partitions and mounted differently.

Is it safe to play with CWM recovery and install custom ROMs because of this differecies in mount points?
