Hi,

Looks like I messed-up my N800.
I just resurrected it, after a looong time, I thought it was lost.

Well, I managed to re-flash the device to OS2008 (RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM) (is this the latest one?) , and put all of the repos from gronmayer's site.

questions :

a/ So far so good, but everytime I am going to Applications > browse installable apps,there is an "updating" that take ages! do I have to do something about this? or was a bad idea to install too many repos and mess the OS?

b/ I now read on the forum that there is a 'newer' f/ware (Diablo-Turbo), but this involves clonning of the OS to internal SD (I have a fresh 16GB SDHC class10 I assume its fine to work with this), but as I read somewhere, the clonning and SD boot needs OS2008 < 43-7 ? So I need -again- to reflash the device with an older f/ware?

c/ btw could not find the correct procedure of cloning the internal OS to SD and the booting procedure

sorry guys for asking too many questions. if any help thanks in advance!

thx again.
