Hi,
and thanks for understanding the real problem. I found my way to here, as the official files and instructions at the mentioned url's were exactly the same as had been with previous releases of the internet tablet platform. So, the flasher programs might just as well be just out-of-date.

A minor correction, on N810 the HOME-button is the center of the large button on the front left of the keyboard.

For those who are still (imho, deservedly) dubious about the upgrade process, as it's always easy to make your device a brick with flashers, here's my upgrade log:

Code:
$ sudo ./flasher-2.0.macosx -F nokia_N810.php -f -R --enable-rd-mode

For some reason, my browser saved the downloaded file as 'nokia-810.php'. Well, this is he first time I seem to be flashing a php program to an embedded device .
