Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

got a question, would i be able to download a firmware file, download nokia desktop software updater and uodate firmware on a friends laptop? without having to connect to the internet?

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

Sure you can.
That's the way to go: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
Pick the OS you will use on your friends laptop, note that 64-bit somwtime gives problems, download the firmware for your region and the flasher for the OS. You may not use the Emmc-Vanilla to keep your data! Just flash the PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin file for your region.

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

please try:

sudo gainroot (enter)

apt-get install libcurl3 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver (enter)

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

I will start downloading it now! Quick question, why can't I use emmc-vanilla to back up my data? Shall I just back up using copy and paste? Or using the one provided in nokia pc suite?

Also I live in uk, would it be better using uk file or the global one? Many thanks!

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

Also should I be flashing the EMMC as well?

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 

You should try firstly, what I have posted.
