Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I updated the download links to the 1st post in this thread.

Anyone tried the "Internat tablet update wizard" (windows)? Maybe the file load balancing (as what was claimed to be in place) works only when using that tool? :confused:

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

It went quick enough for me as a direct download (I go both RX-34 and RX-44), but I guess I got in early thanks to this thread :-)

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Just finished flashing OS2008HE to the 770... waiting for the changelog and first feedback to flash the latest update to the N800 (still on 2007), then if all goes well to the N810. It's going to be a flashy week :-)

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

It works .... It fixes the boot problem.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

That's good news for those having that issue!

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Just one more time, since it has been asked many times what's new in this firmware: This release fixes the power on (boot) problem only. If you are not having this issue you may as well keep using the 50-2 firmware.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Any news when the next performance and feature update will be due?

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

- just downloaded the n800 os2008 update...

- however, could someone post the content of the MD5SUMs file?

(stupid, fscking Nokia server is now unresponsive; dunno why the idiots there couldn't just post the MD5SUMs in plain view)

- even worse, after attempting the download i get a Web page stating:

"Your acceptance has expired!"

- so now i have to go back again and enter the @#$!@#$% MAC address YET AGAIN JUST TO GET A STUPID FSCKING MD5SUM!!!

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Thanks Mara - one less device to flash :-)

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I have this md5sum:

786a0150ca29e6688b3dbcbe14bacbd1 RX-34_2008SE_2.2007.51-3_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

edit:
so they didn't upgrade the kernel?
Hum security security..

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

And if you can use linux flasher and don't want to reinstall everything you can try to flash bootloader only if it helps with the issue. It is unlikely the fix is in rootfs.
the names of bootloader parts are quite long and specific to hardware build number, type cat /proc/component_version on device and select correct ones that include your device name (RX-??) and hw-build number (not sure if there are more of them, hopefully not).

EDIT: warning, if done incorrectly (like mixing options -x -2 -s with not matching file types - xloader, 2nd, secondary ) this may brick your device completely.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Where are these packages?
nolo 1.1.10-2
nolo 1.1.11-1

These should be the ones that have changed.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Yes, that's the bootloader (NOkia LOader ?). Not sure if you need to reflash all three parts (xloader, 2nd, secondary) but the safest is perhaps to flash all three (in one go, definitely not separately with reboots between ;-) so you won't mix older and newer ones together. IMO they depend on each other so it may be pretty dangerous to mix different versions.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Wait, my md5sum reports a different checksum:

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Hum 34 44
Don't tell me I downloaded the wrong one :D

MINE IS FOR n800!

edit: damned somebody go there and powercycle the modem please ..

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

That's from their website

All their files get a comma appended also

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Aw, I thought it will fix that annoying touchscreen bug =( Does real update is comming soon or not?( I'm a bit tired of typing "h" instead of "l" =(

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I notice that the download speed from maemo.org is slow (much slower than it was earlier this morning).
Thus I have decided to help a bit and I have posted the N810 firmware update RX-44_2008SE_2.2007.51-3_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin online at this link:

http://mango.dia.unisa.it/maemo/RX-4...ED_MR0_ARM.bin

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

A few hours ago I got it in ~ 40mn@60KB/s mean speed.

Now this link should be put on the first page...
As well as MD5sums.

I can upload the n800 firmware somewhere in 4h or so.. I have no way to host such a big file.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

anidel, thanks for doing that. It helped me to get it.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Amen! I'm getting to the point where I hate typing on my N800.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

- thank you... md5sum is confirmed...

- and what? so we're still going to have this exploit to worry about:

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Thanks, I thought as much but had to check. :)

I just downloaded the latest revision. Seems to work fine. Thanks again for the heads-up!

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Hmm cool. Useful.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I tried to dl the upgrade to my tablet or my harddrive from Nokia, they all time out and failed. I finally got it from this thread. But I ended up not using it. It turned out if you use the tablet update wizard, it downloaded a lot faster and finished in 6 min! Does Nokia treated update wizard differently? Apparantly it does! And in other thread, it does fixed the power on problem.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

That's what I speculated earlier in this thread... that only the wizard update method does have proper load balancing between file servers. The direct link to tablets-dev server is just a single server, I think? :confused:

On other note: I still don't see announcement in maemo.org or on Nokia web site if you click link what is the latest OS revision for N810... How many days they come behind? :rolleyes:

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Anyone know anything about the GPS update Texrat spoke of? Or is the fix just going to come naturally on March 1 ?

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

The GPS fix has so far been community-based. I do not know if/when it will make it into formal code.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

You need to put together a shortcut for it or something. :p

!wlan800 and it puts it in there for me over here. :D

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I see with the new update that the Sound and Display status bar icons have an extra dropdown item to get to the settings.

Anyone else found any other changes?

(I installed on a N800 using the NIT software update wizard)

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

They provided access to their respective control panel areas in 2.2007.50-2 also. Or am I not understanding you?

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

no - you are correct. I am an idiot :)

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Well, this thread was exciting for a few minutes! Now, not so much.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Has there been any release notes yet?

The europe.nokia.com page states:

"OS2008 v. 2.2007.51-3
This software release includes improved stability.
We recommend everyone to upgrade to the latest release."

when you click on "check to see latest version" on the N800 support page

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Release notes WOULD be nice.
The file name suggests this is from week 51 or 2007, so two months of testing. It would be nice to think there was more than just a power-on fix, with so many customers suffering frustration these two months.

Anyone else had trouble with the apps restore? After flashing, it offered to restore my backup from the SD card, which is good. Then it offered
to re-install my apps, as listed in the backup. I got a few apps back,
then errors, and eventually it quit completely.
Now I am manually adding them, and OH MY GOD ITS TEDIOUS. All those clicks and delays, you might as well be running Windows.
Time to just install ssh, and run apt-get, I think.
Argh! No ssh in the available list. Off to google ...

beware!

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Same as I was thinking... and I just flashed like a week ago too. Upgrading is becoming tedious as all get out... and I don't fully trust the backup method either after the 50-2 update issues.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I have uploaded a torrent to N800 firmware to The Pirate Bay here

Thanks for helping seed it.

I have checked the MD5 hash and its the same as previously mentioned :-

786a0150ca29e6688b3dbcbe14bacbd1

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

Just pointing out, when your getting firmware from torrents and other areas. You should try to match the MD5 hash (though I think it can be spoofed). But still, an extra precaution.

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

According to this http://maemo.org/news/announcements/..._released.html it's just a fix for the boot problem, nothing else changed, no need to upgrade if no booting problems were experienced

Re: Newest OS2008 updates here!
 

I suppose if I don't know what the "boot problem" was, then I am not experiencing it on my n810 and don't need to reflash... I'm just curious though -- what was the problem?
