[Closed - Leaked PR1.2] HELPDESK anything from downgrading to current problems goes here
 

Hey all,

My post got lost in the barrage under the PR1.2 thread, but I thought I'd post a warning that the leaked fw breaks the conversation app. You can still send/receive messages, but they aren't logged anymore. There's no option for communication history under contacts either.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

You got something wrong. Works as before for me.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Hmm... wonder what's happening. I noticed a few other posts in the 1.2 thread that sounded similar to the problem i'm seeing. I'll try reflashing and see if it helps.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Works as before for me too. Try reflashing.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Recover your backups again.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

work with mine too lol.. I guess you just unlucky.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Both a reflash and re-restore haven't helped. The problem isn't just that it's not restoring the communication history, it's also not saving any new items.

Any other ideas? Does anyone know where the communication db is stored so i can try deleting it totally?

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

your data may be currupted. Hmm.. good question, where is it?it must be an xml file somewhere!

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

I have the same problem too. I dont care about the history sms or conversation but the new one wont be logged eitther

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

It logs new sms or convo for me, though...?

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

then which bin file did you use for back up? Maybe mine is a bad one.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

ok, think i might have fixed it. I deleted all the .db and .db-journal files from ~/.rtcom-eventlogger/

Now it seems to be storing new communications again. I'll try restoring from my backup and see what happens now.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

I suggest you wipe the eMMC. Convo DB is stored somewhere in your 2G storage. So wiping it will fix your issues :)

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

I used the original link, which now had been taken off.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Ok. Deleting those files fixed the conversation app, but I still can't restore from the backup. There must have been weirdness in the old conversations file which is causing the trouble.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

works fine here too

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

I should add that deleting those files cleared the calendar too...

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

How many messages do you have? Mine restored fine even with 2000 messages...

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Probably ~5000. I'd never bothered clearing anything out :P

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Whoa!

Perhaps the folks never really expected the convo app to need to deal with so much messages, so it just went sorta haywire.

Re: Conversations broken after 1.2 leak
 

Yeah quite possibly. I'm not fussed - it was time for a total clear out anyway!

N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

i have a big problem now guys.

I flashed my phone to 1,2 FW today.

Everything worked good until now.. I rebooted my phone because i uninstalled some app. But now my phone comes only to NOKIA text and restarts imdediatly after the text. ANd then it keeps like until i take the battery of.:(

And when i put the battery back it goes the same way again. To Nokia text and then restarting automaticly. Keeps like that always:(

What should i do guys?

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

reflash with usb, if that doesn't work add an erase of eMMC to that. Should fix it!

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

Reflash?

Reflash back to previous version?

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

PR1.2 needs different instructions for reflashing the eMMC, FIASCO first, eMMC after that, no reboot in between.


@ op, you really shouldn't have installed a:
1. Leaked
2. Test
build of PR1.2

Reflash back to PR1.1.1, no idea if the modem was updated in which case you can't use your phone.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

Sounds like a reflash to me.

Otherwise search the site I have read somewhere there is another solution to flashing?

E: me and my slow typing hahaha

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

be carefull not to run out your battery as the n900 will not charge it in this state. Also if you dont have enough battery you will not be able to put the phone in r&d mode"the mode used to flash the device".

If by the slim chance you have already ran your battery down you must charge by desktop charger or by the nokia x5800.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

I don't have that issue, can't really offer any more help over what others have offered.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to 1,2 FW :(
 

but will a reflash work even when the phone auto restarts in usb mode???

Because thye phone always auto restarts.(


EDIT: and my battery should be on 5 % now mb. I had on 15 % before the problem:(

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Yes it will re-flash because you are not trying to turn on the N900, you hold the "u" on the main keyboard plug in the usb cable already attatched to the p****ill the faint nokia logo appears with the usb sign in the top right hand corner of the screen (the display backlight does not light up) , then you start to flash from that point.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Yea i understand you but i cant do like that.

The usb logo comes and goes after 1 sec.

Because the phone is restarting itself:(:(

I have no chance to reflash.. i must first stop this damn auto restarting.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

What happens if you take out the battery press the start button drain the N900 then just put the battery back in? does it still self start?

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Well, removing battery will stop that.

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

AM asking for a reason and the reason is IF the N900 tries to start itself after drain and putting the battery back in that is most likely because your battery is too low and is confusing the N900 hence the restart.

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

He still needs a charged battery to start the usb procedure. hang on i will look into the service manual.

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

if its low battery problem charging via wall charger will do it. but USB charging sometimes wont depends how low it is

Re: N900 auto restarts after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

Has you tried to plug-in your battery AFTER getting pressed "u" and usb connected?

EDIT: Of course, after using the 5800 Xpress Charger for a while...

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

If he doesn't have another phone that uses the same battery, he has to either buy a desktop charger for the battery, or buy a new battery, which should come 50% charged, borrow a battery from a friend or he's likely to be screwed.

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

No it will not flash unless you can get it to the mode of flash, after a quick look at the service manual IF you cannot start the flash procedure then your only hope without taking it to a Nokia service centre is to use whats known in the trade as a BB5 flasher and you will have to use the BB5 flash concept method and i can tell you the N900 WILL flash under these conditions. I am still looking.

Re: N900 in reboot loop after updating to leaked PR1.2
 

ive seen a thread exactly the same as this one a few weeks ago (before this leaked pr1.2) , the guy couldnt flash because the phone kept rebooting, your gonna have to search each section till you find it and see if there was a solution there
