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.

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
