Ok - this seems to be working... Now the long lonely download :-!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26
 

I have OTA but it wont let me do it and the NSU says I'm up to date. I bought my N900 direct from Nokia so I should be able to update no problems. Why is it so hard for Nokia to do anything right?

If you have the extra's devel catalogue installed, there is an update in there (1.1.1) which fixes this issue.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

I just realised the turning control for the phone app seems to be slightly broken as well

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

works for me, although, on mine because i did a reset as well, I had to change Display orientation in the phone app settings from portrait to automatic

One thing im not keen on is the main menu! I know alot of people didnt like the 'more apps' part, but i liked it, it seperated all my phone based stuff with my games ect. I know you can move icons around now, but can you add folders?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU in rest of world - May 26
 

OTA now working after NSU reinstall of old firmware.

Re: OTA updates realy?
 

I noticed this today when I tried to upgrade to 1.2...

Any ideas, as I'd rather not flash my phone to get the new version?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

no folders but if you download an app called "Catorise" it will put everything into categories for you!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

nice one, you are a life saver. on a side note i notice my free rootfs went up by 21mb when i updated

Re: OTA updates realy?
 

Updated OTA without any issues via 3G, had about 51MB free in root.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

All back to normal now, theme and wallpaper, all my transitions ect. I havent noticed many big differences, the back key's position in the browser threw me a few times, and the lack of screen tearing is nice, but nothing major.

I cant ever see a 1.3 happening, so lets make the most of this one!

Re: OTA updates realy?
 

you need a lot of spare rootfs space to download ota. check the wiki on here for some tips. for me disabling all the repo's except the standard nokia ones freed up enough to do it.

Re: OTA updates realy?
 

just plug my mobile into my computer backed up all ma stuff. went to update nokia software says i dont have an update. but i can see it in my app manager every time i click to update it says i need to plug into my computer done that tryed to update same thing. :S same was so excited to. ill keep trying and let you guys know what happend.

what did others have to do to update? i remember last updates being easyer then this.

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

yep already done that, i looked up how to free space but im not confident enough to start executing terminal commands, any other way of freeing up space?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

The thread "OTA updates realy?" with four posts has been merged into this thread. Please do not create new threads for each angle and aspect of the PR1.2 update experience. The site would be overrun.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Ra few pages back dude, a few of us have had to reinstall the previous firmware again using the nokia software updater, then the OTA 1.2 update works fine. Just takes a bit longer. Make sure you back up first!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Hi, I've flashed my N900 to PR1.2 using http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php. Have not had time to check everything yet, except trying to setup exchange email....with private certificate.. but alas, it does not work yet. Will do some troubleshooting later on tonight.:p Hopefully will get it working....

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Ok.. a friend's phone with more free root space (55meg ish) couldn't upgrade.. said he needed to use usb/pc

Freeing space not the issue as I had far less

however, some magic depedency tracking scripts revealed:

gltron requires libgles1
libgles1 requires libgles1-sgx-img
libgles1-sgx-img requires opengles-sgx-img-common SPECIFIC VERSION: 0.20091104.6.1+0m5

That version of opengles-sgx-img-common is not in PR1.2.. a later version is.. so removing gltron and its depedencies let my colleague install (except his battery is now too low!)

It seems it freed up that dependency on libgles1-sgx-img which would've been broken after the PR1.2 update..

So.. if you have GLtron installed.. scrub it off.. and maybe reinstall afterwards..

Re: PR 1.2 is OUT In UK!!
 

disable all un-needed repositories and uninstall any unused themes

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

That's two different people who are now installing after removing GLTron.. Not saying it will solve all cases.. but it does seem likely you wouldn't be able to upgrade with gltron installed..

Personal dataplan monitor is broken and i can no longer send i.m's via skype

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

i just uninstalled Gltron and it still doesnt work. reinstalling 1.1 now.

I tried flashing but it didnt seem to work despite following the steps.

I have a n900 that bought in the US should i download us firmware or golbal?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Go for the US version.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

I'm getting the update on the phone, but it tells me to update using nokia updater. I gather from other posts that people have had success by updating to a previous firmware, but when I use nokia updater, it only offers me the option of re-installing the current firmware?

Current is 3.2010.02.8

Any help would be appreciated :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, NSU/flasher - May 25, OTA in rest of world - May 26
 

I enabled extras-devel and now Im unable to install Extra protocol plugins for conversations and contacts ... which has a bug inside btw (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...315#post675315) ... so, for some time, Im returning back to PR 1.1 ... :confused:

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

**** thihs stupid phone. i cant even connect it to my pc anymore because the USB PORT IS MADE OF ****. as i was reinstalling 1.1 it disconnects for no reason and now will only charge.

Im very close to selling this phone as its driving me to its wits end.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

I am attempting to upgrade my firmware by using
Took 7 minutes to download 127MB. Now It has been installing for more than 1 hour.... Hope this works

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

let us know please, as I'm really keen to get it working :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

NSU comes into play from tomorrow I guess.

Today, it's over the air for UK only!

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

what i did eventualy is use the nokia software update to reinstall the current firmware. *WHICH GOT RID OF EVERYTHING SO BE WARNED*.
then over the air update worked. shame because i had gltron install so could have gotten rid of that and reinstalled. never mind only had 9mb rootfs so needed a good flashing.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Anything NEW .. COOL.. Nice in the update..?

or just some new buttons?

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

OTA in the UK my a**e... Nothing for me on O2 as of now... Same as 1.1.1 - Bad form O2, real bad

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

Your N900 will not go into usb/flash mode unless you have a full battery (i forget what the cut off % is)
also if you apply a little gentle pressure to the charger/usb plug you will see that the 2 clips that hold it in will sit a little lower putting less pressure on the port when you pull the lead out, ive done it to my charger and usb lead and they still stay in securley but no longer feel like they are gonna pull something loose when pulled out

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

This is getting beyond a joke now.

- OTA - Does not work, says I need to connect to PC
- USB - Takes about 5 tries and lots of fiddling to get the phone to give me the option to connect as mass storage or Pc suit mode.
- NSU - says no latest firmware, try reinstalling, reinstalls then stops and says there was an error with the USB connection. Phone frozen and need to take battery out.

I wait this long for this update and I cant even update. Good Job Nokia, you're inches away from losing another loyal customer.

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

50 % installed let you guys know when its done. im on vodafone by the way. i think it was before they started give there own firmware. hence why i have the update.

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 

is taking me a long time also... hope the battery does not run out before it finishes :)

Re: Maemo 5 PR1.2 released: OTA in UK - May 25, flasher - May 25, OTA & NSU worldwide - May 26
 

sounds like some body was carefull with there usb port . find a nice flat and steady are to lay ur wire and fone out so it wont move after you have it connected.

reistall same firmware. after this is done check for over the air updates you will have to re sync with ur wireless after the update tho.

* you lose everything in your fone so back up everything you want*
