Guys Dont mind i am new into this i am not pro on comand linux. When o overcloked my n900 to 800mhz instead of saying maemo5 it is saying unknown and version unknown. i tried stock didnt work. somebody mention to do this
- launch X Terminal
- type sudo gainroot (you need the rootsh package installed)
- type apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr
- if asked for confirmation press Y and Enter
- when done reboot the N900
WHAT IS ROOTSH PACKAGE HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD? i am totally newbie please help me step by step. I will really appriciate it. Thanks
psAlso when i typed in xterminal in mydevice sudo gainroot it is asking for password? am totally lost please help me.)
Little tip: Once you have downloaded rootsh instead of writing "sudo gainroot" just writing "root" will do the same thing, its just a quicker way of doing it
ps, thanks are in the bottom right of posts.

Darn i'm still stuck at these stupid "UNKNOWN" things from overclocking to 900MHz the first day I got my N900 on May1st
Tried everything but the nokia forum link which I will attempt after this msg.
PISSED at this now!
when I do apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr
I will get some text saying"DONE" and seems like there's a problem at "Reinstallation of mp-fremantle-generic-pr is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
blah blah blah 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 upgraded crap which goes in circles....dreadful

If you try downloading the script from Nokia forums *again* (remember to delete the first one) I've added a bit that tries to fix the info without using apt-get install --reinstall

i have rootsh and all that installed. it has to do with those repositories i think. which ones should be there or disabled while doing this entire process..

try downloading the script again.. it's improved..
delete the old copy first, download again, run again.. it *should* fix your problem..

still stuck my friend after upgrading to the official PR1.2 global firmware update and OC' to 900MHz...stuck at the forever UNKNOWN thing again. IT WAS OK at 600MHz!!!! HAHA!
Here's where it's at and I absolutely hate it after doing many cut n paste...
Reinstallation of mp-fremantle-generic-pr is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.
I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT above line as I've seen it millions of times due to failure
Tried the script as well and no luck. I did it manually and no go.

It has details of how to install rootsh and how "To fix the "unknown" version info"
