The same thing just happened to me.
I had just install the latest update for Modest, the only other thing I can think is that this bug, although it says it is fixed for Chinook might still exist: I did add a new RSS feed today.
Oh well, I've just reflashed and I'm in the process of reinstalling applications (but I'll leave Modest off the system for a day or two i ncase that was the problem).

I don't have Modest and don't use the RSS applet either, I suspect it's the rtcomm update or the osso-something-idle irc plugin, but that's just a guess.
So reflashing makes it happy again?
Dang, I won't come home for another two weeks and while there's no shortage of PCs, those micro-USB fubs are as rare as kiwis.

It might be those. I did let something update earlier today, but I can't remember what it was. Perhaps someone else will have the same problem and we can get a better idea.
Which country/city are you in? Maybe there will be someone else on this board close enough to lend you a cable.
Meanwhile, advice for anyone else reading this thread: backup your system before updating any software. There could be something nasty lurking out there.

I installed UKMP, it worked for a while then just froze, after re-booting I get the blue progress bar, then it stops almost 75% of the way and starts over again. Can someone help me fix this problem? I've seen people say they've re-flashed... since I cannot get passed the boot ... how do I do this?
Thanks in advanced for all your help

You don't have to get past the boot to re-flash. With the tablet switched off, connect it to your PC with the USB cable, then turn it on while holding down the swap key. A USB icon should appear top-right on the screen, and the tablet won't attempt to boot.

Thanks Duncan,
I tried it and it worked like a charm... although me being the stubborn one went back and reloaded UKMP and whala.. crash! In process of re-flashing AGAIN.. I am wondering if I need to install something else BEFORE I can use this program.
Anyway thanks for your help...

N810 boots (the Nokia logo with the blue progress bar appears), then it asks to enter the lock code. I enter the lock code, then the Nokia logo comes on again and after a couple of seconds, the LEDs start to light up and then the tablet reboots. Lather, rinse, repeat.
I guess something is borked in the startup sequence of applications -- is there a way to do some kind of "safe boot", where it doesn't try to start any user installed apps or is the only way to get out of this a re-flash?
Cheers,
mjl
