Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

So "OS2008 Feature Upgrade" came up on in "updates" on my N810 Diablo today. So I blindly told it to go for it.

Bad idea, I got an error about the Browser Daemon could not be found in the archives or something like that. So I thought I would reboot and see what happens.

Worse idea, Now the N810 just cycles a half bootup sequence, and reboots again and again.

I seem to remember having this problem once before and re-flashing wiped everything clean and made it boot again (which was a pain of course because I lost everying on the root file system).

This time, however I get an error:"
Finishing flashing ... Sending request 0x52 failed!
Unable to get error strings: Connection timed out.
"

(Oh yea, was using the Linux flasher, which had worked twice before, and on the exact same RX44... Image that I had used previously)

So still my N810 will not successfully boot.

So now what do I do? Anyone know what the "Cold Flash" is?

It would sure be nice to know how to get into a single user shell or some other "safe-boot" mode WHEN certain updates corrupt the OS like this. Maybe I should rebuild it as a dual boot (assuming I ever get it working again) so I can use one OS to repair the other.

Here exactly the same :(
Any idea?

Re: Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

Guys, providing the EXACT command that you used for flashing the device would be very helpful! ;-)

Re: Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

and "or something like that." comments also don't help me to reproduce the issue... :-(

Re: Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

I have the same problem...

Re: Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

My N800 Diablo took the Feature Upgrade (33 MB download) and worked fine after the reboot.

Problem might be confined to the N810?

Re: Help: 2008 feature upgrade = DEATH!
 

Exactly the same thing here. N810, took the upgrade (33mb) and now it won't load at all. Nokia screen and the blue bar gets to about 90% and restarts.

If anyone has any thoughts at all I would be enormously grateful.

My N810 took the update without problem, only the same bugs still exist. Would be GREAT if they finally fixed the Modest E-mail issues. Maybe for Christmas, 2010. I just LOVE when it silently randomly crashes and I have to reboot to get it to open

Advice for next time, wait a few days before you do a major update. (not being sarcastic) If you search the forum there are alot of people that have been having the same problem since the update came out a few days ago. I've been watching, seems alot of people have had to flash thier devices to get them running again.

Honestly, this was the first time I didn't check the forums first. :o

I sort of assumed the update was minor and told it to proceed. Silly man!

If I can get it working again, I guess I'll write this one off as a lesson learned. Thanks anyhow.
