So I take it you didn't search for instructions first? It'd be quicker than starting a new thread.

Ah well. Start here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t..._does_it_do.3F

...and then read:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...ng_your_device

For the record, I googled 'flash n900' to find that. Pretty easy, huh?

Can it be assumed your pc is runningwindows? If so, scroll down to this bit...
http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_t...ng_the_Flasher

When you get to a bit you don't understand - say 'xyz'
- do a web search for 'xyz'
- post "What does 'xyz' mean?

Your post will need to include some evidence that you're making an effort, even if you're confused and going round in circles.

ps. I know the above reply had a bit of a tone but it was all good stuff so please use the Thanks buttons.

You have to download the bin file into your maemo flasher directory on your computer.

Then from command prompt, go to the maemo flasher directory and run the flash command.

Then de-register .bin file extensions in VLC.
