I think PR 1.2 is pretty cool guy. Eh disassembles firmware and doesn't afraid of Quim.

PR1.2 does not come with general portrait mode so doesn't the leaked RC. The browser got it since 1.1.1.

The batteries used for mobile devices nowadays have a safety circuit to prevent it to blow from overcharging this neat trick however does not prevent the controler or the other end to blow.

So you may brick it w/o being able to reflash or make use of another battery.

You never know what the test was this build was for! Maybe it was to adjust regulator voltages and you will find yourself with a brick in your pocket in no time. We will see.

If I had a spare device I would try but knowing to much about hardware and software causing hardware to blow I wont.

Well duh, it's pretty obvious that it originated from Nokia at some point, but this build is over 4 weeks old. No one knows where it's been and it's perfectly reasonable that someone may have slipped in something that wasn't there when it left the care of Nokia.

If you can disassemble to code that means other people can too, it also means they could add something nasty and roll it all back up and release it.

What is it with you lot and this Firmware got from a China website, you ALL are trying to tell everyone its got malware but what good would malware do on an N900 ? are your bank details stored on the office prog thats installed itself magically on this firmware, OR are you all simply JELOUS because none or all of you lot on the Meamo community are anywhere capable of writing firmware for the N900 that would even fix USSD.

How do you know? Do you have a N900 with the exact same firmware pre-installed with which you can compare?

No, we're trying to tell people it may have malware. You're the one telling everyone you're 100% certain, because you're so wonderfully amazing, that it doesn't.

And what could malware do? Well it could install a key logger and record you logging into sites. It could phone a premium rate number at 4am every morning for 10 minutes. It could be a spam bot. There are a number of things it could do. And it's perfectly reasonable that people be cautious.

whoever said that they would sue nokia if their own useage of a pirated/leaked firmware bricked their n900 is an idiot. Thats like you stealing a pack of condoms and then suing Trojan because the stolen condoms broke and you got HIV.....

Ok it is now very very obvious you just cannot abide at all anything to do with this firmware because it does actually work, and IF it was going to blow anything i think by now that would have been accomplished, oh hang on here i forgot its got a built in time bomb, oh for gods sake can you lot actually read yourselves and realise just how much "i hate this firmware because it is better than anything i could ever write" DO NOT USE IT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES KEEP AWAY IT IS A BOMB WILL BRICK YOUR N900" is coming across from you lot?
SO WHAT its 4 weeks old so what it has some flaws but i can honestly say my N900 has never performed better since the day it arrived.

It doesn't matter that, say, Avatar is available on Torrents with complete Blu-Ray quality.. providing links and showing people how to download them come with consequences.

Just ask isohunt for any US (and I think UK?) users.

Providing and aiding people in sharing and distributing illegal copyrighted materials has consequences. Personally.. I like being able to access T.M.O... I dunno about anyone else though.

Because it is against the EULA?

There are links to DL roms on the interweb but nobody posts them here. I mean, you are an engineer, you really can't be this ******ed (yes, I have reduced myself to poop slinging)

Wow, I'm not even sure where to begin.

I find it interesting that you keep mentioning that we're somehow jealous this firmware is better than anything we've written. It's quite bizarre thought process you've gone through to get there.

Are you suggesting that when PR1.2 is released we'll all sulk and burn our N900s because Nokia have done something better than we could ever do?

I'm pretty sure I've yet to see someone on this forum say not to use this firmware as it WILL brick your N900. I've mostly seen people warning that you don't know where it's come from, where it's been on the way, and that you may end up regretting it in the end. Which is fair enough.

However you seem to be on a crusade to get as many people to install it as possible. Coupled with your repeated claims about what an awesome engineer you are, that it's perfectly safe because you've seen the source code, that it's no different to a dump from another N900 and references to a chinese website (placing physical distance) I do now wonder if the person behind the release of the firmware is actually you. It does sound pretty far fetched but when you put all of your posts together it does look quite suspicious.

Guys... a few facts....
1. The PR1.2 RC-leaked, ( so far) is better than any other N900 firmware I've used.... PERIOD!
2. It's source is unknown (it obviously started out from Nokia but it's path to those Chinese servers is not known ) and may therefore contain malware etc. Simply means those using it need to bear that in mind and be cautious. .....regularly check to see what it's up to etc.

Just be aware of the risks.

So what is coming next? a lawsuit because some of us even like this firmware upgrade?
Right ok this is my last on this subject so if you mods wipe the lot or close this thread i dont care nor do i care who uses this FW.
Not very good for Nokia any of this at the end of the day so please... be my guest carry it on till eternity.

I dont know why Nokia have not released this update i have no explanation but i CAN assure you it is stable, please believe me after flashing my own N900 and for your info i am an engineer.
You will lose nothing by flashing even when the OTA update comes out as you can do that one too.
Please read the thread and everyone who has updated is more than happy .
