Can`t see the firmware version on my n900

[Hcattaneo]

Hello,
Is there a problem with latest firmware version. When I write *#0000# N900 says "V <unknown>

any ideas ?

Thanks

[MohammadAG]

Do you have fmtx-faker installed?

[noobmonkey]

you need the usd widget to do # commands

goto settings and about. that will show it to you

*#0000# and *#06# work from PR1.1 (idk why they were added, might be for Symbian users)

Edit I have the same problem, a reflash solved it, reinstalling apps returned it

noobmonkey, it`s weird
I went to settings and about and it showed version unknown
is there a possibility that something went wrong when I had installed the latest version?

[Hcattaneo]

so I have to reflash my version ?

[MohammadAG]

Again, do you fmtx-faker installed?

[Hcattaneo]

No,
I will, If I have to ?

looks like u did ps3 controller mod which modifies the kernel

[Hcattaneo]

how to turn ps3 controller off ?

[Ronaldo]

so i take it i was correct?

you will need to reflash i think to set kernel back

[Hcattaneo]

so how to reflash it ?

[MohammadAG]

You should be able to reinstall the stock kernel without reflashing like this (has to be done as root - rootsh has to be installed)
apt-get install --reinstall kernel kernel-flasher

[Hcattaneo]

I did it, then reboot, and the same thing version unknown :(

[MohammadAG]

Ok well that didn't go well, I did it and ended up with no kernel lol
Reflashed the kernel only, and yep, still showing up <unknown> here too.
Also uninstalled sixaxis-support

Edit: type set in terminal, do you see OSSO......=<unknown> ?

Try, as root:


sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/mp-fremantle-generic-pr.postinst && sleep 1 ; run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.dsme" --print-reply "/com/nokia/dsme/request" com.nokia.dsme.request.req_reboot

[Hcattaneo]

yes,
exactly OSSO... unknown, all types of osso

[Hcattaneo]

Try, as root:


sh /var/lib/dpkg/info/mp-fremantle-generic-pr.postinst && sleep 1 ; run-standalone.sh dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.dsme" --print-reply "/com/nokia/dsme/request" com.nokia.dsme.request.req_reboot


on one line, or every ; means another command?

:\

Copy and paste it onto one line.

[Hcattaneo]

I did it, the same version unknown

[Hcattaneo]

[MohammadAG]

If it helps, thinking about opening a bug report, there already is one but the user had a /scratchbox directory and deleting it solved the problem

[Hcattaneo]

so how to install scratchbox

[MohammadAG]

I didn't tell you to install it :\

[MohammadAG]

Ok, so never mind the bug report, deleted my post, problem was caused by fmtx-faker after all, removed fmtx-faker and purged the config files (dpkg --purge fmtx-faker), rebooted and it's working again.
qwerty12 why didn't you mention this? I see you did reply in the bug report (and I got the solution from one of your posts on there)

[qwerty12]

qwerty12 why didn't you mention this?

Erm, you already asked if the guy had FMTX Faker installed in post #2 thus implying that you already knew FMTX Faker caused problems. Besides, I couldn't care less. If you install programs from extras-devel, you get what you pay for.

Then use http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=532797&postcount=82 ;)

Still debating with myself about whether using g_idle_add () to get it to quit is the best of ways.

[Hcattaneo]

it works, fmtx-faker removed. version known :)))
thanks

I didn't mean to say anything bad in my post, sorry if you took it that way. I know the risks of extras-devel and I'm not blaming you for it.

I'm sorry too. Got some problems and I'm being a prick due to them. :)

[anapospastos]

OK it work just fine and solved my backup problem too. Thanks:)

[Hcattaneo]

thanks everyone for helping me out :))))

[MohammadAG]

Problem's back for me and it's not fmtx-faker's fault this time, already cleared /tmp, purged fmtx-faker and it's half working, the release version isn't known, the rest is, any ideas?
