Re: 2014 - Easy step-by-step guide on updating from PR1.2 to PR1.3 with working links
 
You want /dev/mmcblk0p1 (that's a number at the end), instead of /dev/mmcblk0pl.

Not solved! Please try instead
Code:
sudo gainroot
umount /dev/mmcblk0p1
Might put out an error, if the device is not mounted, ignore it. Then
Code:
fsck -aw /dev/mmcblk0p1
for a couple of times until the output of the command is clean.

Hm not sure.
Did you reboot? If yes try to get this output again for the free space
Code:
df
mount
free
ls -al /var/cache/apt

To have much more space for temporary download, please continue
Code:
mkdir -p /opt/var/cache/
cp -avx /var/cache/apt/ /opt/var/cache/
rm -rf /var/cache/apt
ln -s /opt/var/cache/apt /var/cache/apt
This moves the directory for the package management from rootfs to the larger optfs partition. This should give you space to update.

For the MyDocs partition please try Please try to mount the MyDocs partition manually
Code:
sudo gainroot
mount -o rw,noauto,nodev,exec,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,utf8,uid=29999,shortname=mixed,dmask=000,fmask=0000,rodir /home/user/MyDocs
From mount to MyDocs is one command spreading for three lines.

Skip this option
Code:
cp -a  /var/cache/apt/ /opt/var/cache/
I wonder if i ever get it that maemo's cp cpmmand has no -x option, sighhh!

Re: 2014 - Updating chinese 'new' N900
 
michaaa62, I have performed the first part and successfully updated libqt4-core. The phone worked at first, but I got errors pretty soon after, so I restarted it and now it seems it is in infinite boot cycle.

As far as I understand, now I should:
1. Install flasher-3.5
2. Follow these steps to get it working on 64bit Win7.
3. Run flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also, if my battery is not full (but as far as I remember over 50%), should I do it?

Without -R if you'll flash vanilla too

I have flashed rootfs successfully, and my N900 is alive and kicking.

Re: 2014 - Updating N900
 
Doesn't strike me as a broken phone, video playback without overclocking is tough on the little old thing... :-) mplayer has many different switches and features, you need to websearch to figure it all out. If you fiddle around a bit with that, you can often get a passable video playback (I even used to live stream Star Trek from my home machine over sshfs and 3G with reasonable results).

Also, try installing a CPU monitoring app like htop or conky and check that you don't have anything eating all your CPU cycles in the background (a bit less than 10% CPU is normal just to keep the screen updated with the output from conky or htop, depending on what monitoring app you use).

Re: 2014 - Updating N900
 
Not sure, I would be very surprised if mplayer can't do it. I never really used kmplayer, I simply ran mplayer from command line.

You might want to start a new thread about video playback, to keep the topic clean, but don't forget to search the forums properly first! People here are really happy to help others out, but only if the asker is prepared to put in some work themselves too (by checking that the answer isn't already answered first).
