hello.
my nokia 770 is not booting correctly. after the NOKIA logo and sound it shows a white screen for 3-5 seconds and it restarts. it keeps doing this all the time. a month ago I tried to update the software but I couldn't make it.
Any help is really needed and appreciated.

Thank you

If you are getting a sound then your are booting into the OS, are you getting the progress bar across the bottom?
To flash it you need the wizard here and you need the tablet in update mode(from off, hold down HOME key while turning on, you will see a USB icon on the top right of the screen when it is in update mode) then run the wizard.

Yes, I hear the sound and I see the progress bar on the bottom of the screen

If you use the wizard it will automatically select OS2006 and flash that to your tablet so the wizard is all you need to do that.

ericdkirk and Fionn Thank you so much. I updated the device and it's working.
It's been a month I couldn't work with my 770
I really appreciate your responses.
one more thing. can I update the 770 to a 2007 or 2008 versions?
where can I get them?
if I download them will I have to use the same wizard and select them for updating?

Thank you

Here is the page you can get the other firmware from. You will need your wifi MAC, it is behind your battery or in the about section of the control panel. I like the 2008 HE but the speaker is not very loud.

Thank you
do I have to install ONLY this with the wizard?
SU-18_2008HACKER_4.2007.50-6_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin

is it possible to go back to the 2006 later if something goes wrong with the 2008HE?

Yea any time you reflash you are overwriting everything, so you can download any 770 version from that site and flash it.
Over time you should look into booting off the card with the high speed kernel. I here that will make your 770 fly, I have not had time to do this since getting 08HE but I plan on trying this weekend.

I installed the 2008HE and my 770 freezes whatever application I try to run. browser, media player, everything.
