In which case why don't we all flash to global and stop worrying?
So, I have taken matters into my own hands and flashed my phone. It all seems to have worked and didn't take too long. I backed-up first so that I could restore my settings and applications. I used the following resources:

Looks like Nokia can't even respond on their own website. You'd think someone from Nokia (who either surfs here or on Nokia Support) would make a statement - even if it says 'its coming'!

Nokia and customers don't seem to mix do they. I think they could learn something if they only thought about us for 30 seconds.

If anyone says I'm a troll or am whinging will get told to @@@@ ***.
I don't think I'm being impatient either. Day 3 no update while the rest of the world sits back grinning with their faster and slicker N900's.....I'm not bitter:mad:
I'm just a pissed customer.

Why? I want the N900 to be a success like the rest of us. Leaving out certain groups without explanation isn not on - even if we had a message saying its not coming to us or its coming but later - will do!

I got fed up of waiting and flashed mine too.

Pretty painless procedure really. I only lost my startup video and the theme changed, otherwise everything's back to normal. The backup app works like a dream.

I realise the update is not that important, but I'm pretty sure the next one will be and I don't want to be hanging round for days (weeks/months?) for Nokia to get off their collective backsides and release a UK specific version.

You've inspired me to flash my N900 too. I have a UK version and I don't even live in the UK so what the heck?

I tried the NSU but didnt provide the update saying it was already up to date with PR1.1. Will try the flasher tonight to update it.

Apologies for not reading the whole thread, but as a UK user who got their update OTA on Tuesday (in Truro, Cornwall) I thought I'd check in.

After it flashed I restored the backup, and after that it spent quite a while downloading all of the applications that I had previously installed. Everything seems to have restored without a problem.

firmware question, when i changed product code to install generic firmware on n95 (set product code back after upgrade) i had a issue with GPS and sent the phone to nokia and they sent it back saying incorrect firmware which = no warranty. does the same apply to n900?

nidO 2010-02-18 13:18
Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 
Go for it. The flashing process is perfectly smooth and painless, just take a backup of the phone immediately before doing it and you can be back up and fully running on your new firmware in under 10 minutes.
When I flashed mine from UK to Global firmware the flash itself took 2-3 minutes, then started the phone and it spent approximately 5 minutes restoring everything and redownloading all my applications. Once that's complete, your device is in exactly the same state as before you flashed it, except using the global (and updated) firmware.

This is unclear. With your N95, changing the product code is a definite warranty voider, and always has been.
The N900 doesn't need a product code change though, all you're doing is installing a new firmware (provided by Nokia) using the flasher tool (provided by Nokia) onto an N900 (provided by Nokia). I've spoken to one person at Nokia Care who said that changing the firmware would void the warranty, but logic (along with the fact that the tablets-dev page specifically states you're authorised to use the firmware versions it presents once you enter your IMEI, and this includes the Global variant) suggest otherwise.

good bit of info that cheers but i know nokia in UK/Voda will just say NO WARRANTY (maybe if phone still works reflash back :D) lol

i'll wait till evening then just flash if not update comes to voda lol

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 
Ok, Ok, I think I have an answer!! My phone just reset, you know, how they usually do every now and again, but I thought what the heck, I'll call Nokia and ask the progress of the minor update!

Anyway, it appears that only some countries and even then, not all users in that country have managed to receive the minor update. This is an issue and apparently most UK and some Finland users have not been able to get the update as we all now!!

So, they guy at Nokia has confirmed that they know about the issue, and that there is a major update coming last week of Feb/First wek of March. What they will do is merge the minor update with the major update so we will all get everything in one go.

So it seems we may have to wait a little longer, but they recognise the issue and we will get it eventually!

Just thought I'd let you know what I was told! :)

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 
frustrated uk user. am now thinking about flashing. but what i'd really like is transparency ie what sort of schedule for release and what are the differences.

even a rough statement that the target is to roll through all country varients within 3 days or something would be enough to allow educated techie end users to make an informed decision.

prob will give it until the weekend then go generic.

anybody tried just changing the update url to remove the 203 etc success or failure?

Re: New N900 firmware 3.2010.02-8 released today (16 Feb)
 
ok thanks. i checked and see its not editable in the gui. guess could try edit in /etc/apt directly. but not before backup.

on subject of backup/restore and reflash.... is this really saving most thing ie apps. list of repositories. address book. im plugin configuration. text messages etc? and does it touch photos music etc. sounds good esp if wanting to go generic.

I'll sit back and see what happens. Though its tempting to try a drive up the A30 to Truro if the update is there. I need to go to a bank, anyway.

I hope Wes is right about them combining the two updates - the last big one depended on the small one that preceded it. :(

Hi guys
Can anyone help me and write how to invert these commands?

mv /usr/share/themes /home/opt/themes2
ln -s /home/opt/themes2 /usr/share/themes

I did it to make more space in roots and now after every reboot my phone is in basic theme.
I tried to do
mv /home/opt/themes2 /usr/share/themes
ln -s /usr/share/themes /home/opt/themes2

but of course it doesnt work. I know I shouldn't do that but I did and now I need some help.

Thanks in advance
kriss
