Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

and another thing.......downgrading to a previous firmware always make the sim unrecognized....is this normal?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

It's already been determined this is not the latest RC out there. Someone actually had the numbers, 16-8 or something.

So this is certainly just a month old RC that has already been discarded and fixed. Users here thinking they got something "new" are just finding out why Nokia hasn't released it yet.

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

In my understanding, if the firmware updates the radio (which so far, most of them have) - then yes. You will not be able to "change" your mind if you flash the leaked 1.2

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

It's a result of the update updating the hardware chip's firmware too. The same thing happened in the last update (PR 1.1).

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

you really thought the PR1.2 has been ready for 4 weeks and nokia only holds it back to see how many posts PR1.2 speculation thread can collect?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

The leaked version is over 1 month old (March 31st actually) so it is not the RC version.

All you folks are stuck with an unstable buggy version until the normal release comes out because going back renders your cellphone useless.

Good luck!

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

This is an unstable, buggy and outdated(more than one mounth) beta.
Two possibilities:
-Stay with it and wait for the true 1.2
-Downgrade to 1.1.1, loose SIM card support and wait for the true 1.2

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

last i heard the final version has fixes up to April 4 where they locked the code ready for testing?? then what is hong kong using???

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

so this one who updated to pr1.2 rc should now wait for the real pr1.2

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

Such a sobering reminder that we're not dealing with commodity x86 parts.

Then again, this is just about par for the course for mobile handsets.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

i wish this release was never leaked. what i nightmare

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Dude.

You're screwed. This isn't the "stable" Hong Kong version. It's an old beta version of PR1.2 that got leaked somehow and now a bunch of fools and impatient folks have it running on their N900's.

As has already been stated, you're going to have to live with it until the normal version is released unless you don't care about your cellphone. Going back to 1.1.1 will disable your cellphone. So you're pretty much stuck with a crappy unstable version of PR1.2.

Hope it was worth it.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Fixed it for you.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

point bolded.

hong kong could be using anything between PR1.1.1 and PR9999.9999 .....

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

I flashed using the 1.2 firmware this morning and thankfully have had no problems with it. Glad to have it as I've not experienced any of the bugs from 1.1.1 and CPU usage seems to be 'normal' i.e. no 100% CPU utilisation until rebooted.

Next time there's a leak before an official release I think I'll wait...lucky this time but don't want to push my luck again.

If only there were more regular releases from Nokia to fix the bugs which REALLY make the phone a pain to use at times.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Locking means that no other updates or bugfixes (from other bugs) are going to make it into that release. So they focus on what has made it into PR 1.2. at that point.

At that point it may go into beta status or several versions of RC status. What status they call it depends on the company in question. For example, Google calls everything beta :rolleyes:

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

If they don't manage to fix the media player widget. I will never ever ever ever look at a nokia phone again.:mad:

nice to know its an early version:cool:

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

That's hilarious to me.

Sorry Fel, I don't mean to be a jerk.. but with how many people have been screaming lately that they want PR1.2 no matter what.. then to get this. It's poetic, in a way.

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

Yep. If you flashed the leaked PR1.2 you are using an OLD VERSION of it that is unstable and buggy. Going back to 1.1.1 will render your cellphone useless. So it's either:

A) Living with the unstable version of PR1.2 and keep cellphone capabilities
or
B) Going back to 1.1.1 but not be able to use your phone.

Sorry. Seriously though, thanks for your feedback, it serves as a great warning to others thinking of doing the same.

If only mobile devices were like commodity x86 parts.

n900 isn't saving sms, im & call history

thnx from holland

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

That's funny cuz everything is working fine for me.

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

EXACTLY
I will not play with this 1.2 available, at least if you have two N900, one for daily use and another to play with it. ;)

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what exactly is stopping you from flashing everything except the radio update?

It's not like the radio update would change something so radically (new AT command set, etc, etc) that things would stop working...

Re: n900 isn't saving sms, im & call history
 

im history is gone as soon as i close the window

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

It's all part of the same package, I think. You don't really have a choice what to flash and what not.

It is a bit strange to me that flashing 1.2 changes it to one version, but 1.1.1 doesn't change it back.. but it has been reported in several threads that your cellular data/phone will not work after flashing back to 1.1.1.

Re: n900 isn't saving sms, im & call history
 

i saw these threads coming sadly.
i don't think a fix for this has been found unfortunately

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

lol really really wasnt worth it. my iphone user friend was playing on the web with my n900 and now thinks its a crap device lol. no1 is touching my phone till the offical PR1.2

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

Why would we wanna flash back everything seems fine in this update

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

Well, according to http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...Tutorial/Usage at least, we can flash just a rootfs, and you can use --unpack to get just the rootfs from the main image.

EDIT: Even better, it looks like there is a --flash-only option.

had same issue. just restore from a backup. if u didnt back up your screwed.

wait till real PR1.2

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

and i dont have any problems with pr1.1.1!

Re: Which programs does not work on the PR1.2 RC?
 

I have not had any other problems than the whopping speed my N900 is going at the moment. I can barely follow the movements!

Besides, I liked some of the old bugs. I really hate it when Nokia intentionally fixes them :(

Tear does not work. Everything else does.

Re: BE ADVISED leaked PR1.2 firmware flashers: downgrade to previous firmware disables cellular radio
 

because not everything is peachy

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

u will have problems. just wait

Well: as long as I'm a Troll, and Trolls' brain is not a vital body part...
YES, OF COURSE, Troll updated... and troll happy, troll no problem, troll no bug, troll no boot, troll no nothing...
Perhaps because troll is soooo stupid and troll not only updated, troll overclocked with Titan-For-Trolls kernel...
Troll ask is: perhaps Titan enhancements at kernel portion makes more stable the troll LPR1.2?

Transition control, bootscreen manager, Tweaker, QuickLaunch, Powatool, Desktop Activity... all that nice things that usually could get new versions inestable... but ALL RIGHT HERE, SORRY BUT ALL RIGHT!

I read browser issues in some members posts... with pr1.1.1, if fast double-open a desktop shortcut and then close one of them before end-of-page-load, browser freezes until reboot... So I can live with the (supposed in my case) danger.

As many other times, simply free-for-choose question... one thing is inform the people of the risk, and another is lammers feeling they are very smart...

Anyway... I LOVE YOU, MOMMY ("day of the mother" here in Spain)
