Sigh...some people shouldn't be buying such a powerful device. I hate to say it, Amadtira, but maybe you should have bought an iPhone or Android phone.
See the Wikipedia entry and links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I did a full flash to 1.3 AND reflashed the eMMC and haven't had the problems everyone else has had. I do this with my preferred distribution Slackware for updates (it's still the preferred method) and it was recommended for years--and maybe still is--to keep a typical desktop installation working well to backup, wipe, and re-install from scratch once a year. The problem is that all the automatic changes that happen to config files along with dependency and versioning problems lead to all sorts of weirdness--and the simplest work-around is just to wipe and re-install (especially with a major update).

. Then let me know how you get on. Or PM me your IMEI which I know I shouldn't take it from you just incase.. To cover my own back. Then I'll type it in to see if it's valid then I'll send you my downloaded file. (which works because I've flashed it to my phone. Sorry about the big rant.

Wow. This part proves to me that Nokia makes thing harder for us. Linksys doesn't need IMEI for its routers. Dell doesn't need IMEI for their bios/drivers downloaded. N8x0,N9x0 mostly use Linux as core and need IMEI. What are they thinking?
