- launch X Terminal
- type sudo gainroot (you need the rootsh package installed)
- type apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr
- if asked for confirmation press Y and Enter
- when done reboot the N900
WHAT IS ROOTSH PACKAGE HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD? i am totally newbie please help me step by step. I will really appriciate it. Thanks
ps:(Also when i typed in xterminal in mydevice sudo gainroot it is asking for password? am totally lost please help me.)

Rootsh is in the repositories, i forget which one (power search rootsh and look in downloads), the command "sudo gainroot" won't work without rootsh installed as without it you do not have root access.

Little tip: Once you have downloaded rootsh instead of writing "sudo gainroot" just writing "root" will do the same thing, its just a quicker way of doing it:D

ps, thanks are in the bottom right of posts.

Re: overclock kernels and version info loss

Darn i'm still stuck at these stupid "UNKNOWN" things from overclocking to 900MHz the first day I got my N900 on May1st :(

Tried everything but the nokia forum link which I will attempt after this msg. :mad:

PISSED at this now!
when I do apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr

I will get some text saying"DONE" and seems like there's a problem at "Reinstallation of mp-fremantle-generic-pr is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.

blah blah blah 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 upgraded crap which goes in circles....dreadful

Re: overclock kernels and version info loss

Did you try my script from the Nokia forum?

Re: overclock kernels and version info loss

If you try downloading the script from Nokia forums *again* (remember to delete the first one) I've added a bit that tries to fix the info without using apt-get install --reinstall

yeap i tried your script and also tried it manually. i have almost given up on this as i dont think it affect performance...but if theres another way to do it...would love to give it another shot.

i have rootsh and all that installed. it has to do with those repositories i think. which ones should be there or disabled while doing this entire process..

thanks guys...

Re: overclock kernels and version info loss

try downloading the script again.. it's improved..

delete the old copy first, download again, run again.. it *should* fix your problem..

Re: overclock kernels and version info loss

still stuck my friend after upgrading to the official PR1.2 global firmware update and OC' to 900MHz...stuck at the forever UNKNOWN thing again. IT WAS OK at 600MHz!!!! HAHA!

Here's where it's at and I absolutely hate it after doing many cut n paste...

Reinstallation of mp-fremantle-generic-pr is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT above line as I've seen it millions of times due to failure :(

Tried the script as well and no luck. I did it manually and no go.
