Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

What if you just start Xterm and
cat /etc/osso_software_version

Isn't it it the same string?
I don't know if you can just edit that file as root
to change that string to a "valid" one and flash your tablet os?
Probably not that simple.

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

Just a quick follow-up.

I have upgraded my N810 (Singtel) version to diablo using the linux version of the flasher. No problems encountered during the upgrade.

Of course, it is now a stock Diablo-based N810 with no Singtel 'enhancements'. But that does not bother me as I'm not a Singtel subscriber: I got my N810 'cheap' from somebody who was a subscriber.

I forgot to mention: I did not backup application settings before the upgrade. This may prevent any Singtel specific apps from potentially causing problems when the N810 tries to do a restore.

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

I gave my N810 for repairing the touchscreen and the one they gave back had singtel. Flashed in Linux and it worked.

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

I also sent my N810 in for a screen repair and it came back with the singtel software. This is quite annoying!!! I am completely new to linux besides maemo on the n810 and am not quite sure I understand the directions for flashing in linux. Can anyone explain in laymans/simple terms for me...I am interested in learning more and in recovering full use of my tablet...
thanks

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

Can you give more information? At which step in the directions given did it become unclear to you?

Also, where did you get the directions for flashing from Linux? I believe there are a few web pages available and it is possible you may have been following the wrong or outdated instructions.

The 'official' version is at http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

hi there, I had the same problem upgrading the firmware on the N810 bought from Singtel. Please visit my thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=24019

I have upgraded and don't expect Singtel or Nokia to assist you. You will still end up with the old version.

Cheers!

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

will the warranty still be valid after flashing it with vanilla firmware?

Re: Problem with N810 Singapore model upgrade to Diablo
 

Probably not, but who cares?

Anyway, if the Original N810 had vanilla firmware, then its should be fine to update the crappy one you got as a replacement.
