I got mine up by letting it chill for a good 25-30 minutes...will report after I flash with OS2008.

edit: Successfully flashed to OS2008 - device functions perfectly so far. I just turned it off and then on, it seems great. Do not give up guys.

Install xterm and becomeroot

1. Boot the device normally by holding down the power button, you can unplug the charger once the device is booted.
2. After the device is booted, you need to install xterm.
3. Tapping HERE on the tablet should install xterm for you.
4. Tap HERE to install the becomeroot package.

Reboot the Device

1. Assuming xterm installed correctly, then open it up (should be in Extras in the Application Menu).
2. Plug the device into one of the USB ports on your computer.
3. Since reboot requires a root shell, type sudo gainroot and hit enter.
4. After you have a root shell, type reboot and hit enter.
5. Then as soon as you hit enter, begin holding down the Home key, and don't let go until you see a USB logo in the upper right of the Nokia splash screen.

Flash the Device

1. If you see the USB logo at the Nokia splash screen, then the device is now waiting to be flashed.
2. Go ahead and plug the barrel charger in in case the download takes a long time.
3. Now, start the flasher and let it flash the device.


After the flasher's done, the device will be running the latest firmware and you should have no more problems powering on.
Remember to chill it for a good amount of time, turn it on, and go. Good luck.
