Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

This is just not the way to talk to anyone and very annoying to realise that this kind of talk should be allowed and not deleted by a moderator, trying to get someone to submission over words is just not fair and is also very demoralizing.
If someone has an answer they should give it without wanting something in return as this is indeed supposed to be a fair and helpful community.
I dont condone what goes on here on this forum as it drastically lacks better moderation techniques as a whole.

Hey guys small problem going from pr1.2 back to old
 

Hey guys before u post and say oh you should have never installed it if u dont know what your doing etc etc, i understand the risks involved. I went to PR.1 2 RC just to have alook around and test it abit.

Now i have flashed back to my old firmware as i will and always was waiting for the final release.

Now my problem is after i flashed it, it is just and the black screen with the dots going past and past, after bout 10mins it loads up but without the simcard data like is has a cross next the the sim pic.

Im sure this has happend to some others but i cannot for the life of me find any threads or going tru thousands of post is the other one about it.

So any help from anyone out there would be greatly appreciated.

Please dont say i need to flash the emmc as i havent downloaded it :( and im on slow net atm.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

thanks for the support. i think your part of the wrong forum mate. im also an idiot for having extras-devel and testing enabled to try and test applications for the open source community. some help you are


dont call me an idiot. i made the mistake of flashing and now im warning people of the risks of updating and the problems you will get.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Well its really good that you admit that :D

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Yup, the bug is still there. Have to remove the widget and re-add them. However, previous PR1.1.1, sometimes or most of the times, when I re-add the Media Player widget, all other downloaded widgets gets remove, and I have to re-add them back again.

Not sure this bug still in this unofficial release.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

When you choose to flash, you should know the risk and be prepared for it. It is whether you're willing to take the risk. If you have considered the risk and taking the chances, I don't think you're considered an idiot, unless you do it straight away without any thinking.

It could be fake firmware, it could be a virus file, even before you choose to download it, you should consider and think about the risk. It's not just about flashing alone.

Similarly, for devel and testing apps, overclocking, etc. These are all "risk" to take by anyone who chose to do so. The difference is whether the person have put some thoughts about it and wiling the take the risk and accept the flaws, problems, etc.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

All the issues you have mentioned in the first post, I've had similar or worse with PR 1.0, 1.1 and 1.1.1. So why is it more unstable? I've gone mine on the LPR1.2 and it's more stable so far with less bugs than PR1.1.1 that I last had on. I doubt official PR1.2 will be light years ahead more stable either.

This LPR1.2 fixed stuff I really wanted fixed. Quite happy actually.

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Good one.. Ive noticed that also..

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

I very much like this response as its fair comment all round, NOBODY should start name calling over anything as it is not the way you would talk to someone you love for example, indeed there is a sense of fun in playing as the andventurous spirit exists in all of us.
If i do something to play about and it goes wrong then so be it i learn from that point on and it is actually more fun and experiance learning how to put something right you put wrong, after all as we say "nothing ventured nothing gained".
As a whole Nokia are somewhat slow on the N900 being a new concept and all and for some (me included) some very important issues needed to be implemented on the N900 such as ussd and navigation, these have in fact been implemented on the firmware upgrade that was used in this case.
It is all to easy to jump down on somebody under these kind of circumstances with childish remarks and insults and is never going to stop untill the right kind of moderation is applied on this very forum.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

The issues above I agree did happen in pr1.1.1 but all those issues I had in the leaked firmware happened in a VERY short period of time.


a new one
11: Woke up to my phone alarm not going off? it had the alarm time on the screen with snooze and stop but no alarm. will be going back to PR1.1.1 first thing when I get home. :D

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Please let us know your experiances when trying to go back to 1.1 as it may be a little tricky so will be an interesting read i am sure lol.
I am NOT being derogative or negative here, if someone can actually confirm possibility of downgrading it will be very benefitial for obvious reasons.
I have had no problems in any way with the leaked upgrade and obviously have no intentions of downgrading at all as it actually gave me 2 very important fixe's ussd and navigation issues fixed.
Having said that , when i have some time this week i will personally look into the downgrade problems and i think at the moment it has to be done in a specific way as downgrade without the proper tools and software is difficult in any event.
Let us know your experiances please and good luck.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

ill keep you guys updated.


i know how all the goodie goodie's are like told ya so and in your face. but this has been fun lol i dont regret doing it.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

So far, I am happy with this leaked PR1.2 .It resolve exchange 2003 issue that I have with PR1.1.1. I can sync with my office mail/calendar and contact.I will use the leaked version until the official launch.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

i just tried it... it worked fine for me

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

You just tried what? downgrade or install this leaked firmware?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

ye it works fine for me too??. Was trying to prove to my boss it was my phone alarm not going off for being late but I looked like a dick when it worked :(. not sure what happened this morning but it really didnt make an alarm sound.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

i tried going back to PR1.1.1 but no joy with the Cellular network. So now i'm back to PR1.2(Leaked) and waiting for the official one :(
PR1.2(leaked) is great but I am not used to the new Virtual keyboard. Hope the official one coming out real soon :D

The boat has left and can't catch the boat back because the passport has been stamped.. No other choice but to going a long the flow.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

did you do this http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=45

???

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Does anyone know who leaked this firmware? It has to be one of the inside Nokia developer/employees..

Lets hope the world will never know who he is :)

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

I actually found this quote by you to be very offensive and racist:

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Unstable my ***. Everything works like a charm.

Losers always whine about their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen...

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

It is not racist or offensive. If anything leaks these days (being it early CPU benchmarks or DSLR test shots..) there is a great chance it is coming from China.
So knowing the Chinese mentality a leak could be expected.

On topic of the unstability:

Can somebody tell me what to do to crash my PR1.2 RC N900 OS?
Im surfing around in Fennec 1.1 Beta :eek:, testing skype video towards PC, watching flash news about the oil leak threatening Louisiana , Mississippi , Alabama and Florida and feel too happy.
Tested SIP client towards Mobile phone network, SMS history, camera. :cool:
Surfing is quick and responsive!

I notice the battery meter does NOT drop quickly to 85 percent as it did with PR 1.1.1. so I smell something fishy.

Yet it seems to good to be true. Are the people experiencing troubles with this firmware the same that always have unstable PC's full of spyware? I can hardly beleive that.
Can somebody get me off this cloud as I cannot handle the hapiness ;)

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Yeah but not working with that method. it say 0/3xxxxkb file size being download.. done and nothing happened. Reboot and still nothing happened

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

LOL

This is the only solution right now:

I'm not touching any more of that lol.. I'm stuck :D

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

what exactly are the racist words used? the leak ie download came from a chinese site within china , fact,
and for your information i have many chinese engineer friends and have immense fun working with them., or are you like many on here trying to provoke argument???

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

this is more like finding a passed out prom queen in front of your home.....

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

The cellular modem chipset might have some intelligence to detect timestamps on the firmware and never allow a downgrade. I tried the --cmt-no-verify flag and it didn't do anything. I've tried everything short of hex editing the old cmt file to make it appear newer to the phone (if that's even possible). I tested incoming/outgoing calls, sms, data and all work with the 1.2 file. IMO it's low risk compared to running on a full leaked 1.2 rootfs and all.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable

that thread has been closed?? isnt that more like punishing us or maybe making us work to fix our mistakes without support?

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Instead of the attacks, why not ask better questions, allow time for better observations and above all, start reporting of bugs, quirks and/or problems... that should be done instead of just stating how foolish people were to have flashed their devices - stupider things have been done in the name of gadget lust.

Regardless... why not treat this as a glimpse of what's to come, what's being worked on still and what needs to happen before PR1.2 comes out instead of the constant finger-wag by some of the members. That's getting boring.

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

wait... what?!?
reporting bugs from pretty old firmware that has never been released?

please, spare Andre....

Re: Leaked PR1.2 unstable
 

Imagine if something was actually overlooked. Looking at what was included and fixed in PR1.2, it reads like a bunch of stuff requested from these boards as well as what's been reported.

Last I checked, that would be a good thing. Guess turning this shitstorm into something positive is just above some folks.

Keep complaining then... carry on.
