n900 software ota update problem?
 
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, new here!

The problem I'm having is with my nokia n900 not updating firmware ota!

I first got the phone when it first came out, used it for a week or 2 and left it, until last week I decided to use it again!

Now the current firmware I'm on is
V 10.2010.19-1.205.1
Rx-51, Nokia N900

I have rootsh installed, have a few respitorys installed ie maemo extras, testing devel etc. I have disabled all of them except software update but still doesn't show a update for the phone!

However for some reason Nokia System Software Updates isn't updating when I click update?

I have tried on X-Term as well, but still it doesn't update firmware OTA!

I have tried ' sudo gain root, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade' but still no joy!

I haven't got my laptop with me so can't update on desktop, can only update ota!

The only reason I want to update is because I want applications such as Twitter, Opera but I can't on this current firmware!

Tried a post on 'prodigits' and it was suggested to try here? Any help would be appreciated!

Many thanks!

Hi and welcome to TMO :). Can you post more information please. What errors are thrown up when you apt-get update/upgrade?

rumel2011 2012-07-24 23:50
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
No errors at all? It updates everything other than the maemo firmware?

I can try an update/upgrade now and paste the log?

rumel2011 2012-07-25 09:28
i have attached a file with the log on.

I can't see any attachment, you might not have earned those privileges yet. Try copy/pasting them.

Tried thanking you but it says I don't have permission to?

Will have a try updating using the avahi-daemon in x-term, but I don't think this will solve my problem because my apps are updating, only not the firmware 'maemo 5'

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
You've got holded packages, which might block the upgrade.
Please try to upgrade the holded packages manually and then upgrade the system:
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get install -s libcurl3 libeet1 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver
Now this will only simulate the install to check, if everything may go fine, at least, with apt's logic. If any errors please post them here.

If not please proceed with the upgrade of the holded stuff:
Code:
apt-get install -f libcurl3 libeet1 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver
apt-get update
apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-community-pr
apt-get upgrade

Sorry a bit of a noob when it comes to typing codes on x-term, but at which points do I press enter? Or do I type the whole code in and press enter?

Line by line is the way to go -though some are longer than a line here-, read the output to get some clues in the process, that will develop you into a nerd :)
Code:
sudo gainroot
Code:
apt-get update
Code:
apt-get install -s libcurl3 libeet1 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver
If no errors proceed with the upgrade of the holded stuff:
Code:
apt-get install -f libcurl3 libeet1 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver
Code:
apt-get update
Code:
apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-community-pr
Code:
apt-get upgrade
Easiest would be copy and paste.

this is the error message i get?

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
each of the michaaa62's boxes of code is one line of text that you type in or copy & paste in and then press <enter>

eg.
apt-get install -s libcurl3 libeet1 libgcc1 libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver <enter>

with this command you're asking apt-get to (simulate with the -s switch) install the packages that follow it, all in one batch.

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
@rumel2011 still have issues writing apt-get :)

i recommend you to copy/paste the commands in the dialogs to your N900 one by one

rumel2011 2012-07-25 22:25
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
i have copied and pasted the dialogue? :?

All the text in bold should've been on one line
The command you're trying to enter is to upgrade the following packages as well.
libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-ttf2.0 libstdc++6 perl-base tweakflashver

But anyway, it seems there's a problem with the libeina1 package and searching through the forums for the error indicates this might be related to Bluemaemo, which depends on older version of libeet, which will then block your upgrade.

Are you using this software?

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
im not aware of using blueaemo or libeet! the firmware im using is the one that was pre-installed when it came out the box 2 years ago! the only thing i installed was rootsh and a few games!

just checked in app manager and nothing comes up for bluemaemo or libeet?

Are those games essential? It might be the case that one of those games is dependant on a deprecated package that is blocking the upgrade, and so uninstalling them might solve your problem.

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
I can uninstall everything and have a look if you like?

michaaa62 2012-07-26 13:38
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
Please post the output of
Code:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install libeina1
to check what is blocking the upgrade.

Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
got a question, would i be able to download a firmware file, download nokia desktop software updater and uodate firmware on a friends laptop? without having to connect to the internet?

michaaa62 2012-07-26 18:05
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
Sure you can.
That's the way to go: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware
Pick the OS you will use on your friends laptop, note that 64-bit somwtime gives problems, download the firmware for your region and the flasher for the OS. You may not use the Emmc-Vanilla to keep your data! Just flash the PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin file for your region.

I will start downloading it now! Quick question, why can't I use emmc-vanilla to back up my data? Shall I just back up using copy and paste? Or using the one provided in nokia pc suite?

Also I live in uk, would it be better using uk file or the global one? Many thanks!

rumel2011 2012-07-26 19:08
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
Also should I be flashing the EMMC as well?

No problem at all, will be downloading the files over night, would it be better to use the global firmware? Or uk?

Acurus_ 2012-07-26 20:29
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
I use the global one.

rumel2011 2012-07-27 22:01
Re: n900 software ota update problem?
 
well updated to the global firmware and all is well now!

Finally can download and use opera browser and twitter!

Thanks for all the help everyone!
