Ok, so I updated it to PR 1.2 through OTA (over the air, i.e updated it through the App Manager), and it worked fine.

I begin to restore from the backup I made, and everything restored fine and most apps restored fine, except a few that showed error messages saying i'm missing a few key components. I can't remember exactly, but most of them are missing the libqt 4.6 or something like that.

Which is strange, since that shouldn't be the problem if i' updated to PR 1.2.

So now, i dunno if i should reinstall PR 1.2 again but using Maemo Flasher or using Nokia Software Updater, i'd rather not install again coz i had to leave it on for several hours to install all that crap so i dun wanna do that again if possible.

I'm not sure if it's really the problem due to me updating PR 1.2 through OTA (even though it was successful with no errors whatsoever), or whether it's because i'm using an older Nokia N900.

Just to give a quick re-cap, basically i bought my first N900 (brand new) on April 2010 this year. I then sold it after using it for 2 months coz i couldn't justify paying $900 NZD for it, even though it's a good phone. After a month, i started to miss it a lot, so i bought it again but from a different seller, and this time is a second hand one, which i bought for $600 and still has warranty on it.

However, this one seemed different, the keyboard is smooth, compared to the first one i had which was a bit rough. APPARENTLY, people told me that the one with the rough keyboard is the newer model, whereas the smooth keyboard is the old one.


Now, i've read a lot of posts where people had defected N900s, and that they had problems with updating to PR 1.2 or have problems AFTER updating to PR 1.2, and just a lot of problems with their N900 in general etc etc. I've never had those problems on my first N900, but now that i have apparently the old model, is this the reason why i'm having this problem??


I couldn't find any documentations on the differences between these models either. The only thing i know is that the newer models come shipped with PR 1.1.1 already, and when i got this second one, it had that installed already as well. Right now, i'm asking whether the seller updated it before selling to me, or whether it came like that. But anyway, if someone can provide some documentation or changelogs regarding these 2 slightly different models, it'd be awesome.



Anyway, i need help with this. Some stuff such as Easy Debian couldn't be restored because like i mentioned already, it requires those key components.
