Hi,

I have got a new second n900 which is emptyed by the preowner. My problem is that I have no second sim or wlan available to update the phone right now. All I have on hand is a PC with win 7 internet and usb/bluetooth to share the internet of the pc to the n900. What and how do I get the new empty n900 to connect to the pc to get all updates and than start installing easydebian and arch linux on it. Can I download the pc connectivity manager on the pc and copy it over to the phone via usbmassstorage and install it there to get a fixed connection via bluetooth to the pc?

CU and thanks for the help!

is bluetooth pan the thing I would need? found this deb file

Should I download this, install it and try to get internet via my pc?

my way:
download rootsh, mad-developer + dependencies to pc. Transfer via usb and install manualy. With those you can have internet via usb and install the rest.
