Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

Hi,

I never had any problems flashing my N800 with new releases of IT OS.
But if I try to flash it with the new OS2008 it always stops when flashing the kernel-image. I doesn't work under Windows neither under Linux.
If I use the flasher-3.0 under Linux I get the folowing error:
I also got this error with the Beta Version but expected that it would work with the final release. Tried also to enable rd-mode an so on but nothing seems to help. But when I try to flash a version of OS2007 theres no problem. It's no problem of a corrupt file because I tried to download it again and the md5 is also OK.
Maybe someone else has a similar problem or knows what the errorcode 0x50 means?:confused:

greetings davgus

Does nobody have an idea? :(
I'd really like to use OS2008 on the N800. I tried everything but it just doesn't flash.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

The only difference I can imagine between flashing 2007 and flashing 2008 (assuming no corruption) is that the 2008 file size is quite a bit larger. Could you be running out of memory or temp storage space on your PC?

I assume you're trying to flash RX-34_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin ?

Yap, I'm trying to flash RX-34_2008SE_2.2007.50-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin
I don't think it's a Problem of Temp Space I tried it on different Computers with different Operating systems. And I can flash everything except the kernel (zImage). If I do it seperately I'm also able to flash the rootfs which is a lot bigger than the kernel I think.

Well I don't know where this all fits in but: I have been having a hard time with flashing n800 with os08. Nokia told me to send it back to them! After reading this thread I tried flashing in beta then went a hunting for os07. Success! :D

I tag this on to this tread to share and maybe the hive mind can figure out what is happening.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

I'm not sure if I got it right...
So you also hab problems flashing OS08 on the N800 but it worked with the beta version?
In my case the betarelease also didn't work.
Still noone an idea what this "Flashing kernel... Sending request 0x50 failed!" means?

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

When you tried it on different computers, Davgus, did you download a new copy of the .bin file? Did it fail at the same point?

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

failed at the same point for me!

Back to os07 again, again. Maybe there is something wrong with the machine and I ought do what Nokia service suggested: return it to them. there email was a bit of a boiler plate so I wrote back and ask that a human read and respond.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

Yap, I tried it with different files and the error is alway at the same point.
When it tries to flash the kernel-image I get the folowing error:
And it also stops at the same point with the Beta release of OS08. Maybe the both have the same kernel-image I don't know. But I don't understand why my N800 doesn't accept these kernel-image. I can even flash a file as kernel-image that isn't a kernel-image but it just doesn't take this one file.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

Or is it possible to use another kernel with OS2008? Maybe I could flash everything of the offical release and just use another zImage file?
I'm not that fit in those things, is there anyone who knows more about that?

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

Question: Where did you get the error code? Is there a wizard log?

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

This is what flasher-3.0 showed me in an Linux-Terminal while flashing.
But I'm not sure if 0x50 is an error code. Maybe it's just a command the flasher tries to send to my N800?

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

I just uploaded the zImage file, that I'm trying to flash. I'm very sure that there's no file corruption but maybe someone could compare it to his or so...
Here's a link to the file

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

Mmhhh, it seems that nobody has an idea and that I'm the only one with this problems. Maybe I should send the N800 to Nokia.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

I'm a non tech with the same problem. I think the best thing to do is wait about a week for everything to get cleared up.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

So really nobody has a soultion or tested my kernelimage with his n800? Maybe it would be the best to send my device to the nokia service. Maybe a cold-flash or something like that could help.

Re: Unable to flash the N800 with OS2008
 

I've found resolution for this problem with flashing initfs. Just a little out of space here. So i have rebuilt initfs image and it flashed successfully without any errors. Result filesize is about 1,5 mb instead of 2 mb in OS2008 image.

ps maybe issue with kernel image have same source...
pps sorry for my bad english
