Hello,

I have received an N900 recently. Looks new, works great, but has outdated software. And yes, I've read the guide, it doesn't help me at all.

My N900 has PR1.2, I want to update it to PR1.3 because most apps don't install. I am unable to update it OTA since there is no notification in application manager for system update, and anyway I would prefer a clean install.

I use Win7 x64 and would prefer to re-flash firmware using Nokia Software Updater (since the guide states it's possible). However, there are no working links in the guide, nor any instructions for this method.

So I ask you to kindly provide me (and all other new users of N900) with a SIMPLE STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE and WORKING LINKS to required programs and the firmware itself.

Yours sincerely

AFAIK the only way to get images is illegal since tablet-dev is down. You can find image on torrent sites or some other sites, the instructions are still valid.

you also should pound Nokia support (doesn't matter that your device is second-hand), so they would reconsider putting tablet-dev down. they've just made obtaining legal copies of reflashable images for you device impossible.

.....considering that publicizing links (for ...now illegally obtained software) is just asking for the link to get immediately shut down...and who knows what else...Try enabling private messaging...you may actually get answers best left out of the public forum

You only can pm if you have more than 10 forum posts. That prevents against spammers.

You might consider starting a fresh new thread with the following information attached from X-Terminal
Code:
df
mount
free
ls -al /var/cache/apt
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
The first commands check the different partitions for free space. the later check the package management for error messages.

Looks okay apart from the missing MyDocs partition. Might be corrupted and therefore not mounted at boot. Please try to check the file system
Code:
sudo gainroot
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
fsck -af /dev/mmcblk0p1
Yes twice!
If no errors are put out, reboot. Else, please, post the error messages here.
