You update the N810 OS by using a PC either running windows or linux or using a Mac.

When I put in the WLAN ID in the box in that site, then click SEND, the reply coms back, "Product ID not valid. Please re-enter the 12-digit code." I think this unit is some kind of protptype. I can't return it, so I would like to beable to use it. Any Ideas?

I think you can use a linux PC for the flasher and ask someone to send you an image they have downloaded. Anyway the image is supposed "open" anyway.

was it one of the Wimax demo's that where floating around?

Maybe contact Nokia and see what they have to say if it truly has no ID number

I guess I will have to ask around and find someone who runs linux. It definately won't work on a PC. Thanks

The label says Model:XXXX and Type: RX-44 and Prototype B3 and HWID 0704 and a bunch of other stuff. Who would I contact at Nokia?

It has an ID number. It's just that it doesn't work to download the new OS.

I downloaded the Update Wizard. And, thanks to someone giving me a WLAN that worked I downloaded the update image. BUT -- when I run the wizard ... at first it does not automatically connect online, with more trys it never connects online. It does recognize that the n810 is connected. Then I use the manual update by choosing the file that I downloaded. The wizard replys "Unsuported software update file." Then it goes on to say, "The software on your Nokia 810 was not updated, because the update file is not supported by your device." What's happening???

Publicly released firmware doesn't install on prototype devices. Nokia generally keeps the firmware that does work on prototypes internal. There's been some discussion of this in previous threads.
