This reply is for oldmancoyote1 who asked about flashing the N810 on his Mac.

1. Download flasher utility for MacOS X and the N810 firmware image:
http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/d3.php?...her-2.0.macosx

http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N...ED_MR0_ARM.bin

2. Open a terminal and change to the directory where you installed the flasher utility. Run the following command to make the flasher utility executable:
3. Now we flash the firmware:
• N810: Unplug charger and switch off the Nokia N810. Connect the tablet to your computer via USB
• Mac: Execute as root (or as a normal user with rights to use the USB port):
• Mac: "Suitable USB device not found, waiting" is displayed on the console
• N810: Now plug in the charger to switch on the N810 or switch it on using the power button WHILE holding the Home-button (Press the center of the large button on the front left of the screen)
• Mac: Watch the messages as the image loads to the N810 after which it reboots automatically -- you're done now!

4. If you want to put the tablet into R&D mode run the following command:
When R&D mode is enabled
• you can use sudo gainroot to get a root shell on the device
• the power button turns the device on instantly (usually you have to keep it pressed for a while)
