For whatever reason my n810 was cycling off after loading..

I managed (not sure how I managed it) to get it flashed and it started working again.. Well now that I am trying to reinstall apps (or install new ones).. It will download all the way and say "failed to download" or after I click an app it will "Check for updates" and freeze half way through the check.

Any idea's as to wahts wrong?

Have you removed the battery for several minutes before restartig you n810?

Have you checked you wlan settings? Can you surf the web with microb?

That's were the first questions / ideas that came to my mind. Not sure if they are helpful to you. Good luck.

This is a symptom of a battery with a low charge. I also saw this when I bought a higher capacity Mugen battery. This time it was the design of the connectors in the battery being farther back in the battery than for the Nokia battery. This I fixed by using a business card as a shim to push the battery against the contacts.

I'm siding with Fragos. Sounds like the battery has the drive hosed. Try reflashing, and then boot it while the power cord is plugged in and see if you can install apps. If you can do it there, but not on battery, you'll need a new battery. If not, your internal flash drive may be going bad.
