Hi guys, I bought my friend's Nokia 770 and I love it! My only problem is that we tried to upgrade the Flash player on it. I found this forum due to a topic about the Flash player that I found. As my husband knows more Linux than I, he followed the instructions, but also installed microb-browser.

We did not have the root password, however, so Flash went uninstalled. I emailed my friend to see if he remembers it...anyway, when I went to a Flash enabled site, I got the same error message over and over again and it seemed to be coming from microb. I could not kill the browser or stop the error messages, so I shut the unit off and restarted it.

I uninstalled microb, but these seems to have killed the web browser. When I start the web browser, it won't load any pages. IE, tapping www.google.com into the location bar does nothing. The windows stays blank.

Is there anyway to fix this without reflashing the unit?

you can dissable flash in microbs settings, try sudo gainroot to get root access if not the is information on maemo wiki, you have to use the reflah tool to put the 770 in development mode

Thanks...I have all the files to reflash, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do it. I was hoping to be able to restore the original browser that comes with the tablet, which I'm guessing is not microb. I still want to be able to use Flash.

Hmm, I think Microb was never destined to work right. I re-installed in hopes of being able to use the web again, and simply trying to go to Google spawns errors.

No, you guys just broke something—MicroB works fine, but not on a broken system.

More accurately, though, it was never really intended for the 770.

Thanks GA, reflash it is then :-)

Microb appears in the app catalog, if it's not meant for the system I'm puzzled as to why it appears there now.

The MicroB team was kind enough to put a release together for the 770, but that doesn't mean it's really designed for it. 64MB of RAM is really too little for MicroB (definitely make sure you have swap enabled).

Ah, I see I see. My husband reflashed the unit and now it's working again. He noticed that the catalog of apps is much shorter now. He thinks our friend might have added some things that weren't meant for the 770.

I'm going to be a total newb again and ask, how do you swap? I don't see a memory manager of some sort.

Maybe, but, generally speaking, if it installs it should work OK.
