Yes you do. 44.1 prepares the device (frees up some space in rootfs) to receive the bigger 51.1!

Thanks for that. 15 minutes to update firmware? Hefty updates!

I moved /var/cache/apt/archive to a symlink to /home/ hoping that the download of the .deb files in to there wouldn't eat as much disk and then when overwriting the apps they were installing over the top of, I'd be good to go. Unfortunately as I watched it run through the upgrade my / quickly started to drop to 0% free, after it got there the used space increased towards the same as the total filesystem size! (Using the 5-10% root only allocation some filesystems have I assume).

FWIW, you could have rebooted after the initial 'apt-get upgrade' failed and it would have freed up a bunch of space. That's what I had to do, along with moving the apt archive cache, of course..

I figured it probably wouldn't be bricked, since it hadn't yet gotten around to doing the flashing parts.

I was pleased to see that the new python is optified. That saves a huge chunk of space on /.

Thank you to the Nokia staff for releasing this FW (and the prior FW update preparing for this) so soon after I received my device on December 23rd.
It is not even a month and you have released first major bug fix FW.
I have not had one reboot since updating to the latest FW.

Also my personal thanks to all here that voted for bug fixes and tried to honestly give feedback to help fix the problems even if your feedback was incorrect because you didn't know what you were talking about (like me, I know nothing about Maemo or python). The point is that you guys were helping or trying to help.

i updated my nokia n900 firmware with the PR 1.1, and now it wont start up.

after updating my phone screen turned blank, i left it for a couple of minutes but nothing happened so i left it again for a couple more minutes but still blank screen.

i turned it off and now when im trying to turn it on it just shows the nokia logo, then the loading animation then, BLANK SCREEN.

i dont know what to do with this!! my hair is starting to fall off right now!

(sorry i dont know how to create my own thread)

All I can suggest is reflashing using flasher: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

"Remember to replace the RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin with the firmware you wish to update with."

Hmm. NSU has been stuck on "1 second left" for the 44.1 update for the last 30 minutes. Is this usual? The phone has a white screen with NOKIA and the USB symbol on the top right hand corner.

It just means you need to use the name of the firmware file you've downloaded instead (if you've downloaded one of the regional firmwares).

See the other thread, and please don't post the same question on multiple threads.

You can install again afterwards, I think it's actually just the OTA updater being overly pessimistic.
