Of course, you can borrow the closed bits from your maemo install, until a deal has been worked out with Nokia. But I guess that kinda goes against the whole spirit of Mer, doesn't it?

Hi!

Sorry for that newbie question but i´ve tried Mer 0.7 (great job! hope soon it´ll be a real alternative) and now i want to go back and let my n800 like before with Diablo (no boot screen and all data written by Mer installation erased). What i´m supposed to do? i need to reflash my tablet?

Thx a lot for all your work!

You'll need either linux or OSX and then make sure to download the flasher-3.0 utility for whichever operating system you're using (there is none available for Windows). Then download the image from nokia. You can search the forums and google and you ought to be able to find it (the image file is called RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin).

Once you have the flasher and current Diablo image downloaded. you'll need to run the command: 'chmod +x flasher-3.0' to be able to use the flasher. Then run the command: sudo ./flasher-3.0 -f -F RX-44_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin --flash-only=kernel

Thank you very much for your advice

I have windows Xp right now but i´ve found the flasher software for windows in the Nokia page (and the image, of course). Are you sure is only for linux and OSX? Or the Nokia windows provided is not valid for this? I have read that i only need both files and the usb cable (and then follow the instructions). Maybe this kind of flash is different, really don´t know (for that i´m asking :P)...

Once more, thank you very much.

Edit: The name of the software is "Nokia_Internet_Tablet_Software_Update_Wizard. exe"
And the image: "RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin", just 34, not 44 like you say (maybe it was a mistake when you wrote it).

The Windows flasher can't do flashing the kernel only; it only does the entire firmware.

Right, the 44 is the name for the N810. Do you have the N800?

You might even be able to do this with a linux livecd instead of a full install.

Yes, i have N800.

Nice idea about live cd but i have to reinstall my debian so it´s not wasted time

Thank you very much neatojones

Okay, well RX34 is the N800 and RX44 is the N810, but, I don't think it will matter if you use the N810 image if you're only planning on flashing the kernel (someone correct me if I'm wrong). But, I guess you might as well download the image for N800 anyway and use it instead.
