People please go to the thread from last night and read the posts from this person.
This is fact not namecalling or being argumentative,
I'm sorry I'm not an engineer. I'm soooo mad I can't write my own firmware.

Happy?

Now can we proceed with civilized discussion minus conspiracy theories.

Calling all HK N900 owners!!

Would be useful to see if they can compare bug reports from the leaked version to their HK version.

sorry, think we might have crossed wires.

The version on all the screenshots from HK N900s is 2010.12-9.

However the version for HK shown in screenshot in the original post is an older firmware.

Why Nokia aren't releasing the version that comes with HK N900 is unknown, my guess is they wanted to wait for the global release of PR1.2 first, however this does present issues should a HK owner wish to reflash their device.

Interestingly though, Nokia Software Updater should let you flash your device based on your firmware region. So if anyone has a spare N900 they don't mind bricking they could flash the HK firmware available for download (as seen in OP's screenshot) and then see if NSU will update it to PR1.2. If anyone has the balls to try it do let us know how you get on

Damn it's confusing when threads get merged like that.

And I have to say that thread about the HK Firmware was really mostly about the HK firmware and not the leaked one.

Nevermind.

Yeah, I'm hoping to get clarity on how that should be handled. Different moderators appear to have different opinions on thread management and that's not helpful to you guys for sure.

sorry that i speculate about ugly truth but tell me how you can know leaked fw is 12-9? if there are nothing to compare to, all you have is the filename and that isn't so hard to change, is it?
Changing the file name wouldn't also change the version shown in the "About Product" screen.

However this doesn't mean someone hasn't disassembled the firmware and changed it and reassembled it. A bit more involved than renaming the file, but not impossible.

how exactly?

unless things have changed recently, one can only speculate dates with ~+2-0 months error margin.

someone told me to use common sense but it appears there was no point in it.....

As I understand it the version number is:
Year . Week - Build

So 2010.12-9 would be the 9th build in Week 12 of 2010.

That is how, I believe, you can narrow it down to a week.

so we have no idea how things really are. I've seen earlier explanation: week of base build - build
e: that came from qgil if I remember correctly
