Actually I have edited the post later since people may indeed miss that but still the installation dialog tells you so. And it is not needed to reflash and reinstall due to that, just reboot at least once as soon as possible. Chances are low that some file really got corrupted after few minutes of browsing.

I know this is OT, but I simply cannot get past the first page of ITT in oder to set my style preference. Is there a way to specify mobile style without going through the first page?

You don't need this for N800 and up and you also don't need it if you installed recent hacker edition (whole image or just initfs).

Fanoush,

I have the initfs from the new Hacker Edition, but it's patched with the boot menu from your site. Do I still have the updated driver? dmesg reports I'm running driver version 0.8.

With the new HE, it's installed in the initfs, but the patch you list goes into the rootfs? Is that right?

Thanks for your help,
-Jonathan

Yes, most probably you still have it. Current HE has a bit older fix fom bugzilla which still have old version number.

Yes. It is easier to make package that puts it to rootfs. Reflashing initfs from installable deb package is not worth the trouble.

thanks! I installed as soon as I read this. I've not had my 770 too long so wasn't aware of problems, but am very please people are still supporting it.

does this fix work on 2007HE (not the latest one) as I experienced a lot of troubles with newest HE and reflashed the earlier HE version?

Yes it works. As for latest HE - the person responsible knows about some issues so there may be new fixed one soon.

Re: N770: installable bugfix for bug #2006 - Memory corruption during WLAN use
 
Hmm... I am unsuccessfully trying to install this hotfix after fresh re-flashing Fanoush's image with the mms speed fix (zImage-yuv420). I am booting my os2006 from the mms card. But attempting to install the hotfix using the Application Manager gives a completely uninformative error: "Unable to install cx3110x-hotfix-bug2006."
Am I missing anything? Are the memory fix and the mms patch incompatible for some reason?
(I must say, I'm pretty happy with the os2006 for now and don't want to jump to the os2007HE quite yet.)
Thanks in advance for any help,
Kircho

No, they are not related.

You may try to re-download (try both links). Maybe even do it via PC and copy it to card since wi-fi is not 100% reliable without the bug fixed.
