Did you do the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf trick from

?
The firmware currently installed was flashed to the week 51 firmware, as I had bricked the phone several times messing around with reconfiguring the russian keyboard to something useful to me.
After flashing to week 51 I canīt get the bt keyboard to work. I can pair with it but it wonīt connect, even after following all steps found here and there. Jan, who also took part in this thread had the same problem on his week 51 firmware. qobi is running the week 44 firmware.

just for your information, I also updated to the latest firmware OTA, and I have a functional setup with a Nokia SU-8W.
I did however have to stop and start bluetoothd (issuing "bluetoothd stop", "bluetoothd start" as root) before I could connect the keyboard.

If you flash, it will overwrite any changes you made to /etc/bluetooth/main.conf so you will need to redo that change. If you do OTA then it uses apt-get which will preserve those changes. olighak and Jan, can you try to redit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf and see whether that works. you will need to stop bluethood and start bluetoothd as root after you edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf but you should not have to do that after reboots.

It's probably in /home/usr/MyDocs/tmp not in /tmp

It is safer and easier to do this directly on the N900 rather than a Windows desktop by:
1. copying the file xkb-chinook.tar from my earlier post to /tmp on your N900.
2. then do
$ sudo gainroot
# cd /tmp
# tar xf xkb-chinook.tar
# mv -i /tmp/xkb-chinook /usr/share/X11/.
# exit
There are several reasons you want to do the above as root on a Unix/Linux machine on a Unix/Linux file system (such as ext2, ext3, ...). Among them, to preserve file/directory uids, gids, and permissions (and ctimes and mtimes while you are at it), as well as symlinks.
xkb-chinook xkb-chinook.tar
/home/user/MyDocs/tmp # mv -i /tmp/xkb-chinook /usr/share/X11/.
mv: cannot rename '/tmp/xkb-chinook': No such file or directory

Since you get this:
/home/user/MyDocs/tmp # ls
xkb-chinook xkb-chinook.tar
Try this:
/home/user/MyDocs/tmp # mv -i ./xkb-chinook /usr/share/X11/.
/home/user/MyDocs/tmp # ls
xkb-chinook xkb-chinook.tar
Try this:
/home/user/MyDocs/tmp # mv -i ./xkb-chinook /usr/share/X11/.
Thanks!
