someone said:


1. Shut down the Nokia, pull the sd cards out, and set it aside.
2. Fire up the updater, I think by dragging the bin file on top of the updater app icon.
3. It will then do the waiting for device thing.
4. Hold down the home button on the Nokia, and then hit the power button. You should see the little usb icon show up on the screen.
5. Plug in the Nokia's usb to the computer.
6. The flasher app, that's been saying "waiting for device" or something like that will do the "Ah Ha!" thing and update your device.

Mmmm.. This confuses me. it looks ,like step 4 turns the n800 on??


I too am trying to update to OS800 on a Mac. I have NEVER updated Firmware before & this new purchase of mine is my FIRST interaction with Linux. I'm brand spanking new to it, so I may seem unbearably stupid or ignorant to some folks. Sorry for that. But I AM trying to learn.

Here is the process, as I understand it, and what I have done thus far.

1) Download 770Flasher

2) Download image from Nokia

3) Make certain N800 is fully charged, but NOT on or connected to Mac. Also ensure that neither memory card is in it.

4) Run 770Flasher

5) Select Image file from whatever location you downloaded it.

At this point... things seem to come to a complete stop.

On the 770Flasher window, I see the following:

Nokia 700 Flasher for Mac OS X

flasher v0.8.1 (Jun 8 2006)

Suitable USB device not found, waiting


(end)

That's it. When do I plug in the N800? Should the N800 be turned on when I plug it in? What SHOULD the screen prompts be? How will I know if there is a problem or I have done something wrong?

I really DO appreciate any help or advice anyone can share to help me past this.. so I can access more cool stuff on my fab new toy!
