I have been using the Nokia N900 as a second phone for a long time (the first one is an iPhone), and therefore, as soon as I learned about the release of the new firmware, I immediately decided to upgrade. After all, the new firmware PR 1.2 is probably much, much better! Knowing that this was not an easy task, I singled out several hours on Sunday evening, and used them completely. But first things first.
At first, I decided to upgrade by air, but again received a mysterious message “Not enough memory in the selected location.”
I already wrote about how to deal with this, but the trouble is that now only a complicated method works, and I have ordered to live a long time. Covered a loophole from such tricky guys.
Unfortunately, my temperament does not allow me to write many, many teams, and I decided to still find a simple option. I went to Maemo.org, where I was reminded of the existence of the
Nokia Software Updater program. Aha Here it is the easy way! I downloaded, installed, launched. The program found the N900, found the update, offered to install, and, downloading 6.3 megabytes, stopped with abuse. They say, maybe your USB is wrong, maybe the Internet is bad, but maybe we have something wrong with the server, but I can't continue downloading, try again.

I tried twenty times, no less. Did not help. And rebooted, and the cable pulled, all in vain.
I tried to install the
Maemo Flasher program, but with it the windup was also not easy, to say the least. And so, and syak tried - not flashing. I emphasize that only my crooked hands are to blame here, and experienced guys, most likely, will have no problems.
Meanwhile, the Western Internet has become wool, and it turned out that the 6.3 megabyte crash is worldwide. And everyone groans, groans, but cannot be cured. Something glitches on the server of Nokia itself.
And it seemed to me: what if we take this unfinished piece of scrap and replace it with a full-fledged image
available here ? Perhaps the most difficult was to find - where this scrap is hiding. But found. Here is the address:
C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ Nokia \ Nokia Service Layer \ A \ nsl_service_module_00001 \ vpls \ www.dsut.onl ine.nokia.com.oti.caresuite \ Products \ rx-51Replaced the file there, launched the Nokia Software Updater again and - lo and behold! - everything was perfectly done. While I didn’t dig deeply, I didn’t have time, but I already found out that with the new N900 firmware without dances with a tambourine I understood USSD requests!
I hope this recipe will be useful to the brothers on the device. With the new Maemo! :)
