I have been running OS2008 V2.2007.50-2 since I got my N800 back in February. I have a lot of applications installed and configured and hate to have to go thru all the work over again. If I flash to the latest operating system is there any easy way to restore the applications? I have run the "backup/restore" utility and have my Sd cards backed up on my PC. Thanks for helping.

1. Put your backup file back on the internal SD card. Reflashing does NOTHING to the card, and you will need the file later (see below).

2. http://tabletschool.blogspot.com/200...-firmware.html

3. Enter Applications Manager > Applications Catalog > Maemo Extras. Enter the words "chinook diablo" in the box marked Distribution. You might want to do this for all the other repositories that have a blank Distribution box.

4. Diablo will ask you without prompting whether you want to restore your applications. Tell it yes (except for the wallpaper images).

Hi;

Restore from backup works for many, but not all apps.

For example, the restore did not put back my nmap, telnet, nano, tcpdump, vncviewer, and a few others.

It will also not restore customizatons to .profile, prefs.js, bootmenus, etc.

I wish there was an easy way to fully restore after a flash. I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks,

Steve
