Thanks Guys I was looking for this stuff for a while now but couldn't find it (I wonder why ;x ) I have a Linux Flasher for maemo for a long time on my HDD waiting to finally update my second n900 but now when you provided me a link to mirror of official repos Im wondering if i could just update it from meamo/n900/terminal level ?

Long live Maemo ! Thanks for such fast replies ! You Guys are the best :D

Ah, good ...
no probs then for you.
you can do what you think will work...
but I'd do it by the book.
then you can troubleshoot what you need to fix easier.

And yeah...
We know we are all that and then some... {not that ego stroking is a prerequisite here...}
But it sure is nice to hear from one another now and again how fab we all are.
That most certainly deserves a "thanks"
:D
Long live maemo!

I will do it step by step as wiki suggest ;) Now Im looking on the repo site what is this custom emmc, so thinking about all the process begins ^^ Im happy to be finally a member of such a proud group :) I'm lurking here from the start of my n900 journey and now I'm still keeping myself far away from all those full of security risks OS's like pourdroid, I-somethink or M$ bugs. Bought Jolla for some modern mobile "on daily heat" action like fast playing YT without rebooting to some desktop distro on n900 but n900 is aging pretty well and I was more then happy to see that whole maemo community lives far beyond Nokia itself :)

Hope To see you Guys around sometimes ;) Again thanks for links and tips :D

BTW
but maybe just maybe those google js scripts on the site for recaptcha isnt best idea, Im just sayin' :p ;)

and where did u buy your new N900 by the way. im looking for one!

Re: Maemo PR 1.3 nowadays Need Community help
 

Polish auction service allegro.pl from some gsm service that sold me one from Polish Orange distribution (battery is damaged from lying down and not being charged for few years, probably, but hey ! it isn't that bad after all ^^ battery is changeable part ), You can find n900 on ebay as well but friend of my got fake one so watch out.
this ----> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xd7IVCV3Jg <--- can help a lot, and from my experience if phone have screen protector mounted "out of the box" (not matte one with huge sticker to tear it off ) than its probably a fake one.
Good luck finding your new device :) :D

yeah....
keep your eyes peeled on fleabay...
save search type on fleabay and you'll get daily updates when nxx0's pop up...
smart idea to have a few tucked away ...just in case..

my n8x0's are well nigh indestructible and have no worry whatsoever about their longevity...I have a few of each just in case...
the n900 however has it's own particular quirks ...so I make sure to have multiples in storage waiting...I watch them and hence treat gently..
