Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

@ pelago, Nothing happens after that. It just comes out ," raffi@ubuntu:~/Desktop/flasher$ "

Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

Maybe you could try flasher-3.0-static from that same tablets-dev page.

Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

I wonder what the filesize is ("ls -l"), and if you checked the checksum after download? Sounds extremely broken.

Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

@ qwerty12 - That didn't work either.

@Andre Klapper - How do i check the checksum? File size for flasher-3.0.amd64 is 608.4 KB. File size for flasher-3.0-static is 481.3 KB.

Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

Kilobytes are very vague. ;-)
The webpages says 622952 bytes.

$:andre\> cksum flasher-3.0.amd64

Thanks to everyone who helped & spared their time throughout this.

Strange, strange, strange... :confused:

Re: Newbie need help flashing n810 from linux

Hey guys. I have flashed my n810, thanks to my old P4 system. Had to get some parts to complete the system to install Ubuntu. Thanks again. :)
