Could someone explain why osX flasher gives me:

USB device found found at bus 004, device address 003-0421-0105-02-00
Found device RX-34, hardware revision 1301
NOLO version 1.1.6
Version of 'sw-release': RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.26-8_PR_MR0

You need to unpack the bin.

ok I am bit tired here how do I do that

http://www.cnet.com/surveillance-sta....html?tag=head

./flasher.macosx -u -F RX-44_2008SE_1.2007.42-18_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
That will unpack the software, and may take a few seconds. Once that is done, plug the N800 into your computer using the included USB cable, reboot the Nokia device while holding the home button. Now, execute the following commands:
./flasher.macosx --enable-rd-mode
./flasher.macosx -k zImage -f
./flasher.macosx -n initfs.jffs2 -f
./flasher.macosx -r rootfs.jffs2 -f -R

?

Hey Thanks I thought those commands were for Linux

help
i've entered RD mode but then:

root@rincewind:~# /home/momchil/flasher-3.0 -k zImage -f
flasher v0.8.7 (Oct 17 2006)

zImage: No such file or directory


the bin is unpacked in that directory

Yay discworld!

Try "ls -l" in that directory? You should have (at least) zImage, initfs.jffs2, and rootfs.jffs2 --- if not, post the output of "flasher-3.0 -u -F RX-44_2008SE_1.2007.42-18_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin" please.

yes, the files are in there, especially zImage

I'm out of obvious ideas.

Try
strace ./flasher-3.0 -k zImage -f

Feel free to send it to me for evaluation: basically, look for all file open calls that target zImage.

i'm already tired - it's quite late here in bulgaria. and basically i have no knowledge of linux so i'm affraid i can mess something. is it safe to disconnect the tablet now? under the nokia logo there is an service icon

edit
nevermind, i've typed flasher-3.0 --disable-rd-mode

thanks for the help, i will try tomorrow
