One of the problems i see on this forum is N900's self booting and not a battery cause now why do you think this is happening?.
Would you mind explaining to me how my 3 python files in /opt fscked up your boot sector please?

Hell.. pianobar is a direct port from upstream compiled by simply adding the right DEBIAN file to the source code and using the maemo-optify available in the OBS for optification.... So please - explain to me how that is messing with your boot sector?

My guess is you actually mean Root FS - not boot sector. And if you seriously believe accidentally filling up your Root FS is more dangerous than a random firmware flash from some unknown chinese website... there's no hope for you.

Installing an application is not to write to the boot sector, it is to place files in a special place on a certain partition. No fire there unless you actually replace existing programs or you install a program that's badly written but this is always true.


And even more enjoy being able to do new things with their device. If they installed something from Extras without understanding what might happen, they're in the same boat as the reflashers.


Or this is the strength of the N900/Maemo community: to be able to actually expand or modify the capabilities of such a hacker friendly device.
Please read your own words inparticular .....

Ok? What's your point? The most dangerous updates are the ones that come from Nokia since they actually do replace existing OS files/change the firmware. A mistake in QA and you'll make life hard for many.

And why won't you clarify your arguments and reply to where you are called out as being misinformed and spreading false information? Don't you want to learn how things actually work?

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 
One thing that has come across very strong on this thread is the very fact very few people agree that the leaked firmware should have been flashed to the N900.
Incidently MY N900 now fully supports USSD and the GPS works brilliant, for those that have not flashed this leaked firmware , is your N900 capable of dialing a star or an asterix?
Before you say anything MY N900 is working 100% better than ever before since i purchased it with absolutely NO problems whatsoever that i can find upto now.

Guys, isn't this poll kinda dumb? Of course it's going to be disappointing, it makes your N900 like a prisoner with the most girly hair and calls itself Bubba.
