Perhaps I already have it, and I need to run that flash-and-reboot thing?

The flash-and-reboot did NOT fix the initfs here (still has old initfs and kernel - control panel says I have updated). Do anyone have a pointer to the boot real sequence? If I have a good description of how the n800 is booting and what links it has to the internal flash when booted from SD I can probably figure out how to fix this...

Hello ALL
I'm somewhat confused right now because my issues just now started happening:
Here's a list of them:

1. Everything is working "EXCEPT" my internet connection, but the LAN reports its connecting and working fine. I get and IP/SUBNET/etc
2. When I try and got on to the web I get an error msg: Memory low (even when the device is plugged in
3. Can't send/receive emails
4. Control Panel OS Version reads: NULL (but didn't yesterday) - WLAN: OK - Bluetooth: OK
I'm able to take Screenshoots, but can't post because I can't get the tablet to connect.

Any suggestions? Before I re-Flash?

I am trying to update my tablet but even thought i updated my repos, i dont see a "os 2008 feature upgrade" app listed in my update menu. Also, what's even more alarming is that it says that my osso-software-version is missing!

nooooo! I really, really need a way to get my osso-software-version fixed, is their a way to fix this??, If not, i'm screwed..

I have small problem with booting from internal card. (I try to read this topic and use search).

I do as in this post:

Code:

1) I booted to internal MMC; saw the update notification.. went ahead and updated..it warned me i would reboot - and I already knew my bootmenu was going to be hosed. So; it gets done; without error; and reboots.
2) Tablet reboots into flash on it's own... I run application manager and check for updates.. install 2 new updates... tablet reboots again; still in flash - and I get a pretty little "operating system updates installed".
3) Removed penguinbaits bootmenu-installer
4) Re-installed penguinbaits bootmenu-installer (took a while.. but still worked fine).
5) Reboot and select internal MMC

So menu appears. When i select booting from internal card, I get message (as usual): "booting from immc2...". But after several seconds tablet restarted.
How can I fix this?

I have a really random and trivial bug since I installed this update.

For some reason my battery icon does not animate while charging any more.

Its no big deal, but I’m just curious if this happening for anybody else? Is there a way to turn the "battery filling up" animation on and off?

worked for me - back online booting with updated SD partition, but I did read through all the thread.

quick summary of avoiding problems and the explicit steps:

backup existing bootmenu.conf

Code:

cp /mnt/initfs/bootmenu.conf /media/mmc2/

be in 'blue pill' mode so app manager not confused
do the update from sd partition (auto reboots)
boot from internal flash
confirm 'blue pill' mode again
update again
grab fanoush's initfs_flasher
Code:
```
wget http://fanoush.wz.cz/maemo/initfs_flasher.tgz
```
do this because he has added the links already, or update your old install as per http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...1&postcount=24

unpack, cd, recover bootmenu.conf, flash (auto reboot)

Code:

tar xzf initfs_flasher.tgz
cd initfs_flasher/
cp /media/mmc2/bootmenu.conf .
./initfs_flash

remaining niggles:

my battery icon does still show the 'recharge' animation
haven't fixed /etc/hostname yet
app manager shows 2 'Nokia System Software Updates' entries, but I presume this is because I need to set Distribution to '/' instead of './' in order to get it to refresh. deleted the one that said /diablo/, kept the one that said /diablo-1/. still had to change './' to '/' or it comes up 'failed to refresh'. (my isp ??? no other itt posts seem to mention)

well, just in case I wasn't the last to upgrade...

rob.

Tried refreshing the gtk icon cache?

hostname I doubt will be updated. It does not belong to any package. Infact, come think of it, the diablo I was using before it was released had no hostname file at all. I [had then] installed it on top of chinook and the chinook hostname file got deleted.

You were meant to keep both entries.

My recharge icon is working again now... for no good reason. Maybe it got all the silliness out of it's system after recovering from a pretty severe crash.
