Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

dont forget to reboot everyone!!
does help!!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

That's the URL for Vodafone versions, so you must have the Vodafone firmware variant installed (did you buy the phone second-hand?). You'll need to do a full reflash with the UK generic (203) firmware (which is a pain in the *ss as Nokia still haven't made any updated firmware available for the UK).

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Reboot, now on

3.2010.02-8.203.1

IS that it? :D

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

New unit, sealed from Amazon. Possibly an unwanted upgrade. I'll wait for Vodafone to push their update out.
Thank you. :)

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

yup....... done!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

My firmware version is 3.2010.02-8.002 <- No other updates here in Ireland.
I recently update to this version after I brought the phone. I expect differences due to legal/Language issues in each country.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Finally!

I cant believe how much hard work this is for end users :confused:

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

i bought my phone on a vodafone contract in uk and had the update ages ago! maybe it was before vodafone started pushin their shitty branded FW. I remember reading on nokia forum that with symbian updates they're delayed on uk networks due to stricter approval processes, and then delayed even more by brandin. why do they have to mess with already sometimes flaky firmware!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

I have been running my phone with this firmware from ages (based in UK, London). I don't know what is going on.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Thanks worked perfectly. X terminal is quite cool as well, as you can see it all being installed as it goes through it. Learning more about this device every day!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

two of my mates have the original firmware and aint had the update. myself and my other mate have flashed our phones to the 203 generic and have the update. all four of us are vodafone uk. im pretty sure its down to uk networks being big buffons.... if i sence any interferance then im flashing to the global!!! in ur face vodafone

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

and how to check my 'variant'?
i have flashed my phone with this
RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM
once..
i think this is the global variant?
am i right?
and according to whatevr the above variant is, and my firmware..ie 3.2010.02-8...should i expect a firmware update released today or i already have that?>

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Yes, that's the global variant, and no, you shouldn't expect an update today - this update is only bringing the UK generic variant up to the same version as the rest of the world got several weeks ago.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

thnks buddy, yet again.!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

So hopefully people are getting to grips with how to clear their root folders and launching this update. But does anyone have any insight into why it has appeared and what changes its made, if any?!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Would appreciate if someone can reply this:

- What is the difference between Global and UK firmware versions?
- Does it mean updating (Flashing) phone to latest GLOBAL version 3.2010.02-8 will allow me to use any sim card outside UK?

Sorry if anyone has already replied to these questions.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Nobody knows what the difference is (or nobody who knows is saying). And I don't see why flashing to the global firmware would make any difference to using SIM cards outside the UK - you should be able to do so with or without reflashing.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

hi
while updating my 203 uk generic n900 OTA, I got an error "operation failed" while the update was downloading to the device...it appeared for a while n then dissappeared. The download finished and then it started updating and the rest of the update process went smoothly. I had 60 mb free space on rootfs, I had disabled extra, extra devel and my maemo repo too jst incase. Now my qs is why did it give me tht error? and do i need to worry?

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Try in terminal

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

There were reports of this from other users when PR1.1.1 was originally made available - it doesn't seem to cause any issues though, so I wouldn't worry.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

First thing I`ve done was to flash my phone to the global firmware.....like I knew that I would have problems with the UK one!ehehe

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

might as well repost :D - to save some terminal commands the healthcheck app - recently in downloads will show you your rootfs free space and current firmware version (+ generic name, like PR1.1 or PR1.1.1)

Slightly biased as its my app - but fits the circumstances :D

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

I had problems updating (it told me I had to do it via the PC suite). I fixed it by removing the "libgles1-sgx-img" package, then I could upgrade over-the-air.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

well all this has just got me totaly confused?
ive been running 3.2010.02-8 for the past month
is this the same as 3.2010.02-8.203?
im on voda uk

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Looks like you have the repo for the Vodafone image. I have O2 and mine was direct from nokia, my repo is similar but not the same:
https://downloads.maemo.nokia.com/fremantle/ssu/203

Check your current product version first though!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

this thread is about 3.2010.02-8.203 he made typo in title
if you was already running this update on UK model then you probably have global version flashed on device allowing the update b/c it was only released for UK and vodafone UK today

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Yes - you're using the global variant rather than either of the UK-specific variants though. It's just the UK generic variant that has (finally) had the update released.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

If this wasn't a branded vodafone unit then I would consider debranding and putting it on the generic UK image. Vodafone tend to customise their images and the like so you might find unwanted crap further down the line. If you backup and then flash to the generic uk image (203) then you should pickup the update as well.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

It's only hard work if you use non-standard repos (dev/testing etc) or you fill your root partition.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Imagine how late it would be if Orange got their hands on the image and then image the serious flaky nature of their version? They took stable images and buggered them up on Symbian - image the mess they could make with Maemo!!

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

*Noob alert*
How do i find out what software I am running?
Got my N900 last friday from vodafone direct, and i have just checked the updater and there is nothing there, so I wonder if i am already running it?

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

alinoor I had the same problem. Only problem is that my QVI Maps do not work will not load. Does your QVI Maps work?

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Go to the settings dialog and scroll all the way down, tap "About product" and look for "Version"

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Easiest way is to open the phone, go to dial pad and type *#0000# and then hit call. If you got it direct from Vodafone I suspect you will have the variant ending in 205 which means you have no update available yet as not released yet for Vodafone variant

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Okay I have done that and it says:
2.2009.51-1.205.1
What version is that?

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

That looks like PR 1.1 Vodafone UK Variant. There is no update available for the Vodafone variant at present that I have heard of. The generic UK variant is 203 not 205 and that's the one that finally came up to PR 1.1.1 several weeks after most of the rest of the world.

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

Okay cool thanks :) Any word on when us poor vodafone customers will get an update?

Re: New firmware update this morning in the UK 3.2010.02-8.201.1
 

elinoor,

i also had that problem. also i downloaded an app straight after and it came up with terms and conditions for fw update. not the app. but app installed!! even reset my phone for me...strange!! but its all super super now :)
