members,

I have still not received the 1.2 update OTA. am I doing something wrong? isn't this supposed to automatically download to the phone?? i'm leaving the phone connected to tmobile internet connection and still no update? I tried to go to app manager and clicking the update tab..still nothing? maybe i'm missing something?

I have tmobile and i'm in california....

thanks for your help.

If you have Nokia Software Updater on your computer hook up the N900 and run NSU. I wasn't receiving the OTA notification so this is what I did and it seems to have worked well.

It's not supposed to automatically download; you're supposed to be able to choose it from App Mgr.

I have tmobile and I'm in california too, but I used the flash method to upgrade.

Make sure that in your catalog list in app mgr the Nokia System Software Updates catalog is active.

Someone else may have other suggestions.

unfortunately I have a macbook. so I dont have nokia software updater.
I receive the prev update no problem OTA. just happened on its own.
not sure what the problem is with this one.

Agree, I am in California and using tmobile, but I choose to flash myself yesterday and now I am a happy man.

Finally can use skype video and gtalk video .

I dont know how to flash. sorry i'm not so computer savvy.

Following instructions from here: http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

In Simple form:

Flashing using the command line
In order to flash directly from the XP/Vista/Windows 7 command line, follow these steps:

1. Download and install the latest version of Flasher e.g. maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2.exe from the website above.
2. Download the latest firmware (.bin) file and save it to %ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5\ (the default installation path for Flasher) or to the custom path of your choice.
3. Ensure the battery is at least half full.
4. Unplug charger cable and switch off the device.
5. Open the Command Prompt (Start then Run or Windows Logo key + R) and type cmd then press Enter.
6. Change the directory to the Flasher's path (TIP: Use the TAB key to auto-complete the commands and file-names)

cd "%ProgramFiles%\maemo\flasher-3.5"

7. Hold the u key on the device keyboard and connect the USB cable at the same time (see the Flasher documentation)
8. Run the following command:

flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.002_PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin -f -R


The update will take approximately 4 minutes after which the N900 will reboot and display the Welcome Screen with Regional settings.

Thats the method I used to upgrade to PR 1.2. yesterday was the first time I do the flashing. Well its really not that bad.

I am using XP SP3.

I dont want to flash the device. I want the basic OTA update. I must be doing something wrong.

I have a macbook. no vista/xp .
