The Nokia Update wizard (Windows, currently version 1.2.2) will allow you to re-install the OS and should simply re-install the latest version of OS2008 if this is already on your device. http://europe.nokia.com/A4678158

Tip, you can also pre-download the OS prior to running the Nokia Update Wizard and this saves time in the future with updating to the latest and/or earlier versions of OS (You do not have to wait for wizard to download OS as part of update procedure) Follow the instructions here http://europe.nokia.com/A4680164

Make sure that once you have re-installed the latest OS on your device you switch it off, removing the battery to be sure it "Hard resets" the device.

Then before you try to install anything else, go to the Canola2 website and follow the install instructions for the N810

Advise how you get on and will try and help you further if you are still having problems.

No. Afraid not, Mike. Did everything you said but it still gets stuck at the Downloading Canola 6.88MB screen then 'Downloading canola2 failed'. Reflashed using the NSU method and using the file you sent a link to. It's just not downloading anything. Nothing will get downloaded so nothing can install.

I took the battery out, as instructed. Though I don't really think the reinstall software process really did anything as it was over *very* quickly (not the 20 mins it was before) and NSU was reporting 'already up to date'. I tried again by selecting the file I downloaded but the same thing happened.

Should I copy the file to the device and execute it from there?

Tim

No - just tried that. The N810 can't execute the file.

Mmmmm...

Hi Tim, thats strange for sure and you can access the internet from the N810?

With regard to re-installing the OS if you downloaded first and then locally re-install (Flashed) the OS using the Nokia Update Wizard then yes the install will be a lot faster as you are not waiting whilst it first downloads the software.

Hmmm ?

May be it's a problem with the caching of the files on the mirrors (if any) and not a tablet's fault ?

Yes but what about installing another application timsalmon? I think you explained that you could not install anything not just Canola2 on your N810?

Sure this is a silly question, You are getting a successful update of OS with the update wizard confirming to remove NIT from USB connection etc at end of update process?

Just did it all again. Same thing. Noticed during the process, however, that it said 'Catalog already installed but disabled - enable now?' so it does seem to be a problem with either the unit or the Application Manager. It downloads the first stage bit OK then gets stuck on the Canola download.

Just tried a new experiement - reflashed then battery out then didn't go anywhere near Canola and tried to install something else from the list. Failed again, so it's not the Canola Base download that's screwing the unit.

Throughout all this it connects to the internet fine using Web.

And as I said earlier, the N800 downloads and installs Canola perfectly using the same router and network.

Beginning to sound like the N810 is defective?

Tim

Yes - NSU confirms successful update and tells me to remove USB.

Tim

But then you cannot install ANY other applications? (or just cannot install Canola2)

If you cannot install Canola2 via web site after a clean OS install but can install other applications then this would then suggest something wrong at the http://openbossa.indt.org.br/canola/ website? as mentioned by anidel
