Hey there

I got a problem.
Flashed my N900 to the new PR1.3 and installed some apps...

JUMP TO THE SOLUTION

I don't have the "reboot loop" part, but the USSD widget isn't working any more ("unable to initialize modem")...

the error show that the tel.app crashs and after a reboot

....

yeah

reboot
,,,, reboot


fuuuu

im testing it right now ...


edit//


YEP reboot loop wenn USSD Widget is installed and a reboot is taken.

curious: why do you need ussd widget ?

I thought the #646# (Example) is already working since PR 1.2

Well if you always use the same number (ie credit balance) it's much easier to have it programmed into the widget and see the results properly laid out on the desktop (especially if it's multi-line), instead of doing it manually in the dialer...

yep i need it to check my balance
its much easier to do this with the desktop widget.

is there any solution with queen beecon widget and ussd?

I just joined the club

Some USSD codes did not work on my N900 so I installed ussd4all and tried - didn't work either. Then the phone app kept crashing. I tried to reboot - and reboot, reboot, reboot...

It turned out that ussd4all tries to copy and patch
/usr/lib/librtcom-call-ui.so.0.0.0 as
/usr/lib/librtcom-call-ui.so.0.0.0-p1
and rewrites the symlink librtcom-call-ui.so.0 to the patched version of the library. If patching fails the patched variant is never created and the symlink is broken afterwards.

Maybe these steps help some poor soul who tried the same:

First we have to enable R&D mode and disable the "lifeguard reset" which reboots the device because the phone system process dies:
1 connect N900 via USB
2. slide out the keyboard
3. turn off the phone (power button long press - if you can manage it) and turn it on again pressing "u" on the keyboard
4. "NOKIA" white screen appears and shows USB logo in upper right corner
5. on the PC invoke
flasher-3.5 --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset

Disconnect USB and boot your N900. That should work as usual now. The phone app still crashes.

Maybe you should remove ussd4all now. You can do this but it won't fix the phone ui.

Fix the broken library symlink:
open xterm
cd /usr/lib
ls -l librtcom-call-ui*
# see the link to lib....-p1 ? ...-p1 does not exist? fine!
ln -sf librtcom-call-ui.so.0.0.0 librtcom-call-ui.so.0

Reboot and check that your phone ui works again - it should!

Finally disable R&D again:
same procedure as above this time with
flasher-3.5 --disable-rd-mode --clear-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset

unplug, reboot - be happy! :-)

PS: I am *not* responsible for any damages - if you brick your device (more than it already is...) then you are on your own!

thx for the BIG Tutorial


ähm did anybody can send me the ussdquery.py form /usr/bin/ ?


when we get this, we can build us our own widget with Queen Beecon

This happened to me one week after purchasing my N900 (then PR1.2). I wound up sending it in for repair -- took eight days in transit and less apparently only a few hours in the shop -- it was returned the day the authorized repair center received it.

with the widget on it or without?

because there is a software problem not n900 problem


SAD
that the maemo repo is down.....
so i cant test the ussd-common qith queen beecon widget
