I have the old 2006 os version, and i cant update it with nokia updater. I tried it on four computers. It couldnt connect to the internet when i was on it, it said i didnt have the right time on my computer and i did, and on another computer it said i tried too many times so it kicked me off. I tried it manually from the maemo website nokia gave me and it said it wasnt compatible with my device. I tried it on xp and vista. What can i do?

This is definitely a N800 and not the older 770 model? (the N800 is silverish and has a built in stand, the 770 is primarily black plastic with a metal slip cover?)

You can get the latest firmware image for the N800 here:

http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N800.php

You will need to type in your WLAN Mac address, which can be found on a sticker in the battery compartment or in the control panel under about. You need to type it in as strickly alpha-numeric (letters and numbers) without typing in the : or - that are typically used to seperate Mac address character groups.

Once you have downloaded the firmware, use the N800 software updater from here:

http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/...ate_Wizard.exe

to update your device and point it at the file on your hard drive instead of letting it trying to search for the latest fw online.

Thats the problem, i went to that website and downloaded that image and the nokia updater told me it wasnt capatible with my device. The closest i got to updating it was on my computer at home, which told me i could't connect to the internet although i was on. How can i get the updater to recognize that im on the internet? Or how can i get the updater to recognize the image file? Thanks for the help.

and yes its an n800

Please verify the MD5 checksum of the file you downloaded. For the latest OS image with filename RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.26-8_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin it should be e6643b4b14698759b5df4fa3a626dfc8

If you are getting something other than that as a result, then you have a corrupted download for some reason. If you don't have a MD5 program currently, the one I use is called DigestIT and is a free download here:

What OSes have you tried flashing the N800 from? How clean are the OS installations? Have you checked for viruses and spyware/malware?

Are you using the current, official utility for flashing the N800 found at http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/...ate_Wizard.exe
or something else?
