Ho do i check which freemantle version is right for my n900?

Thanks guys

Go to the settings application, scrol down to product info and tap it. If you have a Version string of 20.2010.26-2 you are on the latest from Nokia. They stopped providing fixes and upgrades, so some developers from the community step in and raised the N900 to a new level with the CSSU (version string 21.2011.38-1 or similiar)

Hi there

thanks for the reply.

My version is 21.2011.38-1

Do u know if that wld be freemantle 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3?

Also have i got a good version was wondering if its worth even updating the firmware at some point?

Thanks.

It is PR1.3
It is fremantle, with just one 'E' at the beginning an the end.

Ah! thanks for that! My bad! :P

What do i do when i enter an application name then?

Would i need to enter fremantle 1.2 or 1.3 for the description?

It looks like 1.3 as uve now told me im using pr1.3

Am i right?

Thanks very much

This actually is handled automatically by the 'fremantle' distribution name. Your repository all point to this distribution, which might be handled by HildonApplicationManager, FasterApplicationManager or pure apt-get, which are the recommended ways to install applications.

But you have to be careful about manually downloaded package to be installed by dpkg. Dpkg is the low-level installer, which does what it is been told to do without much checking for dependencies or breakage.

This is actually PR1.3.1
This is the latest Nokia release, therefore you cannot update the firmware via a flasher any higher.
Any updates after this are Community updates, the installer is downloaded from here.
You must have version 20.2010.36(PR1.3) or 21.2011.38(PR1.3.1) to update to the Community SSU
