Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

For everyone interested we managed to make a flasher program that enables people to flash their n900 without all the fuss

Windows/DOS only! (no linux support)

Just download this file

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8253219/N900...-installer.exe

http://www.sygysweb.nl/download/Image1.jpg

Install the program using the directory it chooses and run it. there are several options that can be choosen to flash. it is also possible to only flash kernel to a specific speed (overclock the n900) or flash it back to the stock when your n900 is in a reboot loop.

Try it and tell me if you like it!

This program is made by Reg and Jorim.tielemans.
Ideas and brainstorm were provided through my forum.

Maybe its a good idea to put this program on the wiki page or somewhere so that everyone can access it. We have a limited server for sharing this file. Maybe someone can put it on torrent.

Seems a very nice program

Thanks:)

Re: flasher
 

Do you have someone to confirm that PR1.2 + EMMC for example works fine?

Re: flasher
 

yeah i just reflashed to it. And it works fine. its only a UI for the flasher-3.5.exe program and does the code typing for you.

Keep in mind that the Firmwares in the package are the global versions.

The install notes on the right can be ignored. since we made a installer.exe program this all happens automatically

Re: flasher
 

It also installs some extra driver files for the cable driver. Havent tested it on windows 7 64 bit. but there is a chance that it will work also, because of the extra drivers

Re: flasher
 

I'm with Windows 7 x64.
I have some issues and I have interest to flash with Global (since I'm in Bulgaria, European Union) PR.1.2 and EMMC.
It will be my first flash and I have some upcomming events - symposiums, conferenses.
I will wait until someone confirm it is complete safety to flash under Windows 7 x64.

Thank you for share sygys
I hope more testers with share their experience

Re: flasher
 

thnx sygys for the post.. i have jus one querry.. will it overclock PR 1.2?.. or the overclockin is only for PR 1.1?.. thnks and regards

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

nice thing sygys.
but how exactly works the overclocking?is it stable?which kernel do your app use?is the overclock enabled even after reboot?
and can i with your flasher flash my own with backupmenu maked rootfs image?

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

has anyone actually tried this out yet?

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

Is it working on Vista?

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

I remember setting up a brainstorm request for something like this.

If you want to flash a different firmware, the UK variant for example, would you just download the relevant firmwares and place these in the same folder as Maemo Flasher as if you were going to use that?

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

434MB WTF?!!

Could you please upload to Mediafire or other better file sharing sites?? I'm getting a 7kb/s speed and also i'm capped atm so it'll take a while. Does it come packed with the eMMc and firmware?? Otherwise why is the file size so large?? If it is, can you upload just the program itself and provide instructions so we can put our own firmware files into the proper folders, this'll be much easier and quicker for us.


Lastly, does this work on Windows 7 x64??

Re: Easy to use flasher for windows/dos
 

sorry for the delay. what the program does is, using the normal flasher-3.5 with the allready existing firmware images. normally you would have to type all the commands now the flasher.exe does this for you. you simply choose the kernel you want and the program starts flasher3.5 and does all the commands for you. you even get the question if you want to flash the emmc after the flash is finished. its a very complete and easy to use program... so even the dummies can unbrick their devices.

the overclock kernels are titan images the orriginals like 1.3 are offcourse from nokia.

the reason its 465 mb is because the flasher allready contains the PR1.3 global kernel and offcourse the over clock kernels. so with this program you have everything you need to flash.

updates of the flasher.exe are put on the server seperately so you do not need to download the whole ackage after an update. i will put the new version incl. 1.3 on my server (100 Mbit) tomorrow.

By the way, this program was made by Reg a good friend of mine. im only giving feedback to improve and promoting it to everyone interested. so all credit goes to him actually. i provide a dutch help forum for people that arent very good in reading english here... its easier for us to discuss in our own language...

hope you guys like the program.we dutch people use it allot!

it wont work on 64 bit systems by the way... there are some driver problems.
