Probs with n800 (booting in R&D mode)
 
Well I got my Nokia n800 today off Zendoo.com.
First I noticed the battery wasn't charged right.
Next when booted I see the kernel info and a Nokia splash with some infs info. Is the normal for the n800 boot up?
The device came with Maemo 2007,but I flashed it to the latest Diablo.
Still shows kernal and infs info at boot.
Also,the n800 isn't seeing my WIFI.

Hello fellow tablet user my name is Jermaine and I own a N810 and also in the past I have owned a N800 and mine has never booted like that, I want to know if you bought it used for a website and if so that could be why also when you open the box did it have the nokia sticker holding the box closed.

It is not normal. Your tablet has been set to R&D mode. You're going to need to flash your tablet from a Linux computer to set things right.

Hopefully, someone else will step in at this point to provide you with more specifics.

EDIT: I just noticed that according to the R&D mode wiki page, the Windows flasher should correct things automatically. Did you flash via Windows?

Did you not see where I said I bought it from Zendoo.com?
It's used!

I use Mac OS X. Anyway to resolve this on a Mac?
I'm nervous! It won't even see my WIFI.

Yes, use the Mac flasher from (I assume this is an PPC Mac - if not, then install Linux or something on a spare partition): http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/d3.php

And invoke the flasher with "flasher-2.0.macosx --disable-rd-mode". And once that is done, you will want to update. Instructions can be found here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

Sorry, didn't read the part where you said you have already flashed it to Diablo. If you don't want to reflash, disabling RD-Mode will remove the green information upon bootup. Good luck!

The syntax for the Mac flasher is the same as the Linux one.

Still have issues. On a PPC Mac and have the Flasher 2.o,but when I evoke a script itwon't allow commands!

Why can it connect to WIFI in R&D mode?

Code:
sudo chmod 755 ./flasher-2.0.macosx
sudo ./flasher-2.0.macosx --disablo-rd-mode -R

Ok after entering the first part it asks for my password.
I enter that and then it gives this line:

chmod: ./flasher-2.0.macosx: No such file or directory

I try and enter the second part same thing.
I should not my PPC Mac lacks USB 2.0. It's 1.1.

Are you doing it in the directory that file is in? It's not smart enough to guess where the file you want to work with is located. That little ./ tells it to look for the file in the directory you're currently in (which is your Home folder by default).

Presumably that's not where you downloaded the flasher to, however, so you'll first need to change the directory you're in to the one the flasher's in with cd <directory>.

PPC or Intel, it doesn't matter. The flasher will run just fine under Rosetta on Intel.

Ahh I got it that time! Sily me I had the file in the download folder and trying to run i t.
I simply moved it to my Home directory. Worked perfectly.
Yet still my 800 isn't seeing my WIFI.
Odd.

Still no connection! I flashed from 2007 to Diablo and back again. Nothing! No WiFi is showing up.
Maybe R^D mode hosed it.
I'm ready to send this crap back. Atleast my 770 works.
