Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

How can you tell if you have the Global firmware?

Im on 2.2009.51-1.203.2

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Yes, 205 is UK Vodafone. You probably want the global (MR0) version. There's a fair few people running that in the UK, and they don't seem to be having any issues with it. There's a possibility that warranty claims could run into issues if you're running the wrong firmware though.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

That's UK - the global equivalent would just report "2.2009.51-1".

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

i just flash my voda 205 to global one and i also flash emmc so its FRESH! phone is fully restored as i had it before. wat great backup feature!

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I have a 203, was getting twitchy, so my logic went thus:

I will probably end up re-flashing to mr0, so what would happen if I added the mr0 repo, and tried an apt-get update; apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr

Well the system is not what you'd call clean, has a few 203 packages installed, and required a little dpkg-foo, but it rebooted and seems fully functional. The firmware version is now 3.2010.02-08.

I'll probably reflash at some point but, I do love the apt. Apologies if anyone else posted about this.

DISCLAIMER: I have used Debian for about 6 years as my primary home OS on arm, mipsel and x86 systems. Trying the above is probably n900 suicide.

Guys... thanks for the suggestion to change the forum theme so I can navigate this forum better on the n900 but how am I able to change the theme when this option is also cut off? Here is a screen so you can see:

Care to provide a walk-through of that for us average bears?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

i gave up waiting and flashed to the global firmware. figured the saving in checking for future updates made it worth doing now :-)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Bear in mind that I haven't fully tested everything on my device, and my n900 may be subtly fscked up in a way I haven't yet noticed. Also please don't hate me if it hurts your n900.

It was basically:

Add a new repo in application manager. Copy of the Nokia one with 203 changed to mr0. I then disabled the original.

apt-get update
apt-get install mp-fremantle-generic-pr

It then downloaded a load of packages blah-blah-blah.

It craps out on hildon-desktop-applet-settings-mr0 (replacing 203). I got a dpkg-divert error.

To fix it (am sure of command only 90% certain that this is the file) I ran:

dpkg --purge hildon-desktop-applet-settings-203
dpkg-divert --remove /etc/hildon-desktop/home.plugins

I got the file for the dpkg-divert from the error message.

I then completed the upgrade with an apt-get -f install.

Like I said I have a few 203 packages remaining. With luck these will be upgraded next time!! Oh well what's the worse that can happen!

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

whats the difference between the global and uk firmware ?? i dont see any, except in Settings>About Phone, those few numbers have changed

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Nobody knows (or will tell us).

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I imagine that it shouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility to extract the filesystem images from two different variants of the firmware and compare them. There may be differences in the parts of the firmware that aren't visible on the filesystem (e.g. the code for the GSM chipset), but it might throw something up.

Of course, we'd need to have a UK release to compare with the global one first.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I cant read 122 pages, but has this been released on Voda UK yet ? nothing has appearred in the updates ?

Which ever language you speak the answer is no. There is no update as of yet for UK firmwares.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Andy and anyone else that hasn't got it yet. I spoke to Nokia and basically if you haven't got the minor update by now, you will need to wait until end of Feb/beginning of March and they are going to merge the minor update with the big one. There is an issue sending the current update OTA. My post on page 116 of this thread explains more :)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

the wait for the uk update is nowt to do with vodafone, seems to be a regional delay

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

What's the full version string from Settings/About product?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

it says:

2.2009.51-1.203.2

what now?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I still haven't seen an update. But based on some complaints, maybe that's good. :D

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Then you don't have the global firmware, you have the UK firmware, and are waiting like the rest of us.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

so change it to global with reflash or wait? sorry to nooby?:)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

either
Flash to the global :)

or Wait.....

To be honest the choice is yours :) - some people have no problems with the flasher (Worked fine for me), some people have no problems with the firmware (Update)

Some people have had problems with either or both :)

Check the changelog first, if any of those apps needed changes then maybe you do want the update sooner? (No official changelog, but search the forums, there is a pretty good list)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

Whichever you want. Some people have reflashed with the global firmware - it doesn't seem to cause any issues - and others (like myself) will wait.

only reason at the moment for me is that some people say the speed of flash and battery life but it isn't sure?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

then will i wait as noob

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

[QUOTE=nielsvg;535438]hmmmm not sure on the battery yet, as i am hammering it, but overall the device seems a little smoother, and web browsing is a bit better. not much change otherwise for me :)
