Got problem with updater. It wouldn't recognize phone until I had PC suite installed, and then it wouldn't recognize it if it was on. And after all that it downloaded update but when it's about to install it says it lost connection and theres Retry button...
Deleted it all and only installed software updater but it can't recognize the phone, just hangs in there searching.
When trying to update it from the phone it says to use pc software updater.
Spent whole night trying this, don't know what else to do.
I don't really wanna mess with flashing and more technical stuff, don't really want to lose data or brick my phone since I'm not very good at this it seems. Also using win7 64bit...

Tried deleting some apps(fmms, dataplan thing that's in conflict now) but didn't help. I know last thing I installed was sygic maps, but I'm reluctant to delete that because it's rather large and I don't have backup files around...
meh

hm88,

Not if you run a 'backup' before you do this, and a 'restore' afterwards.

I normally backup to the MicroSD card just to be safe.

Any way to pinpoint which ones might be causing this?

Thank's for your help too! Without your post I would never have figured out the reason to these download failures.
It's strange that Nokia hasn't noticed yet that their server interrupts the download prematurely with the NSU.
I'll go into bugs.maemo.org and file a bug now, if I remember it right there's a category for these things too.

Great help on the flashing here guys. Did an OTA update and something wierd happened - started getting all the menu names etc in gibberish!! Not tech savy but the flash went well WOOT!

EDIT: Just restored my backup and did the same thing! So something obviously bogus in there....will just have to download all my apps again - luckily I had hardly any

There's been some talk abou that in some threads here. I guess it could also be if you have a really old Ovi suite...but doesn't sound too likely.
The issue is that N900 won't let me OTA says I have to use NSU.
Trying to use NSU doesn't work using ovi suite. Ovi suite says my N900 is not recognized.

Sorry, I didn't mean Ovi Suite (why did I write that). I meant the "Nokia PC Suite", that's the one that's important NOT to upgrade to the latest when it says that its available.
The one I have is 7.1.40.1, and that one connects perfect with the N900.
