Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

This firmware 'update' surfaced on the internet today.
It can be found at
http://www.a2phone.com/nokia-firmwar...010-36-2-v15-0

and

http://www.bandung-flasher.com/nokia...2-v15-0-a.html

I have the latest updates installed... just wondering what this is about. The first link labels it as PR1.3. Any comments?

i smell scam being a .exe file and your first post

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

It looks good but I also don't trust the .exe file.

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

Downloading right now, We'll see if it's a virus or not...

Edit: Lol are they serious? Both websites requires you to be a paid "premium member" in order to download the file.. Lmao.. Scam for sure.

Reported.

both those sites want $8 to download anything... wtf

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

It has the same version number as PR 1.3, we've already got PR1.3 officially. Is there any point looking further than that?

If you want to be generous you could assume the poster was just being naive in assuming this was something new he found. And these are hosting genuine file, but cashing in on the ignorance of people who don't know where to get the official download from.

Reported as scam :)

Hard to believe it's true. Why doesn't Nokia announce it?

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

guys relax those websites arent scam, they just charge you to download every firmware available for a specific fone.. you see its convenient way for some . while in this case.. this firmware is nothing but a region variant of pr 1.3 and is same as what we all are using. €heck this link and you ill know what I mean.

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

that would be my guess too. but 'scam' is so much easier to type :)

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

it looks like a scam to me!

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

me too... or else why would they ask for pay for downloadin

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

If they're charging for something that is freely available, then it is a scam.

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

they are charging for hosting the files on their server.. linux is free , that doesnt mean some one wouldnt charge for downloading from their server.. more or so its convenience factor.. the luxury of having every fw at one place, water is free ..so why do stores ,restaurants charge for it :).. and i am not even talking bout packaged water !

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

Because everyone sees us very interested about firmwares and directly install leaked firmwares, they make such a trick to let us buy this firmware. Of course someone did buy it.

He's a witch burn him....

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

lol charging for downloading free stuff is a scam? then everything from rapidshare to gamespy to filefront is a scam. sincde they charge you to download with premium speeds.

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

first post and asking you to pay... oooo.... scam. haha!

no it's not a scam. I had a query and I posted it. I am one of those who do not post until they have something useful to talk about. I didn't find any activity on this topic on this forum so had to sign up to post this query. The version which I have is 20.2010.36.2_002, so wanted to know if I was missing something. Moreover, I think this will be useful for someone who has bricked their phone... so thought it may be useful... without being a scam :P

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

Just being curious - where is the whole firmware available people are talking about here in case I brick my N900?

will give you all the information plus the links to the images and the flasher utility

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

That's a copyright violation at least. Besides, how do you know that those images haven't been modified with "value added" features to monitor your calls, steal your account passwords, make long calls to premium rate numbers in the middle of the night etc?

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 CARE 20.2010.36.2 v15.0
 

I dont see any convenience to pay for something that is available for free and for all. Besides compared to general Nokia phones we have a direct access to these files
