Reflash help.
 
My 770 doesn't seem to boot, it just shows the Nokia startup thing and then it just reboots and keeps doing that. My question is, how do I reflash the OS using a windows computer?

It says to "Download the Nokia Internet Tablet Software Update Wizard"
Yet it does not give a link or anything? WTF? Plus, I can't use the USB connection because the 770 keeps rebooting automatically.
As you can see, I don't know much about linux. :(

What did you figure out????? I'm still a lost newbie and need to reflash. Nokia 770 website is not very helpful.

It was very simple. To download the software that you need to install/re-flash the device, you have to use Internet Explorer (Firefox doesn't show the link to download the application). Then, you have to download the image of the OS you are flashing. You can download that at the Maemo Garage website. After that, plug in the device via USB cable, and follow the flasher software's instructions. It's very simple. Good luck!
