Here what had happen is that
I switch the device and ON and it booted up I was sooo Happy.
I play with it changing the backgroud taking picture, play video Radio Transmit etc. So I decided to put my sim card. So I have to switch it Off. Inserted my sim press the power button but unfortunately Only Nokia Logo comes up and then Back Off. What could be the reason?

please send me the where i can download this version 2011.38.1

There is no 2011.38.1 in http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N900.php


So, where is your source?

hi jazz im just referring to evan cause too can't find the version 2011.38.1 on the site

Probably he meant Nokia Care Suite 4 Store 2011.38.1

Ah, got it.
It's for Infinity-Box -> BB5 Easy Service Tool Nokia Dongle
New N900 FW - RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1
But only combined image can be flashed, no eMMC support yet.
found via google...

Hi there, yes I had downloaded this with Navifirm some time ago. flashed with it together with the latest emmc from tablets-dev and all went well. did not really remember that it is not to be found in tablets-dev.

38-1 DOES exist.
No, he did NOT mean "Nokia Care Suite 4 Store 2011.38.1".
As you are correct that it is not listed for download, I guess the only way is to install 2010.36-2 and then update to 2011.38-1.

is there anyway that I can flash using nemo, meego or any other mobile OS?

Hi good people!

I am here again with no joy. What I have done :-
I was able to flash both combined image and emmc without any problem. While inserting the usb to my pc I don't even have to press the 'U' key on the keyboad cause my PC detect automatically. Successfully flash on Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 without any problem but I still my Nokia N900 won't boot up.

If I flash with R&D enable the loading dots keeps going forever after. But if I disabled R&D mode the loading dots comes roll in a few seconds and turn off. This is the behavior.

So the only way to boot up my device is to remove the battery while it is flashing in R&D mode.

Sending kernel image (1705 kB)...
100% (1705 of 0 kB, avg. 1705 kB/s)
Flashing kernel... done.
Sending and flashing rootfs image (185856 kB)...
100% (185856 of 0 kB, avg. 185856 kB/s)
Finishing flashing... done
Erasing CMT: 66%Sending request 0x12 failed: No error

So as you can see here I remove the battery at 66% while flashing. And then I turn the power button on. Yes it will boot but with a message "All telephony functions, including emergency calls, are disable due to communication error. To recover, you might have to reboot the device."

So the sims doesn't work, no wifi and no charging.

So why is it not booting up if I am able to flash properly both on Ubuntu and Windows XP SP3 with (RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM) and (RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM). What am I doing wrong.

I have this problem after attempt to install android on emmc.

Is there anyone having the same problem. Able to flash but still unable to boot?
If yes how did you fix it?

Thanks Good People
