Well, it was actually possible to run an SSU on Chinook (even before it was released; see, you get early secret hardware, but I got early secret software ), but it's not defined, and not the right way.

I'd try http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N810.php, but unless some of those images are labeled RX-48, that's not very good either, though you can always try a version for different hardware. (Again, back before the N810 and OS2008 was released, we ran an N810 image on our N800s.) (And I've tried all obvious version versions of nokia_N810W, etc. in hopes of finding the WiMAX edition firmware, and consequent glory; there didn't seem to be anything live at that point, or I just wasn't imaginative enough...)

If all else fails, use a text editor and edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hildon-application-manager.list, and enable (and perhapd modify) the SSU entry. The link in my sig goes to a post where I might have hinted at the correct procedure. YMMV, of course, and you'll be better off if you can get your friend to smuggle you any internal Nokia Diablo/RX-48 image, and SSU from there...


Oh, yeah, and life is totally unfair.

Edit: if you can't figure out how to upgrade, you can ship it to me, and I'll make it work...
