Just a quick follow-up.
I have upgraded my N810 (Singtel) version to diablo using the linux version of the flasher. No problems encountered during the upgrade.
Of course, it is now a stock Diablo-based N810 with no Singtel 'enhancements'. But that does not bother me as I'm not a Singtel subscriber: I got my N810 'cheap' from somebody who was a subscriber.
Regards,
Kam-Yung

I forgot to mention: I did not backup application settings before the upgrade. This may prevent any Singtel specific apps from potentially causing problems when the N810 tries to do a restore.

I gave my N810 for repairing the touchscreen and the one they gave back had singtel. Flashed in Linux and it worked.

I also sent my N810 in for a screen repair and it came back with the singtel software. This is quite annoying!!! I am completely new to linux besides maemo on the n810 and am not quite sure I understand the directions for flashing in linux. Can anyone explain in laymans/simple terms for me...I am interested in learning more and in recovering full use of my tablet...
thanks
thanks

Also, where did you get the directions for flashing from Linux? I believe there are a few web pages available and it is possible you may have been following the wrong or outdated instructions.
The 'official' version is at http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware

hi there, I had the same problem upgrading the firmware on the N810 bought from Singtel. Please visit my thread http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=24019
I have upgraded and don't expect Singtel or Nokia to assist you. You will still end up with the old version.
Cheers!

will the warranty still be valid after flashing it with vanilla firmware?

Anyway, if the Original N810 had vanilla firmware, then its should be fine to update the crappy one you got as a replacement.

cat /etc/osso_software_version
Isn't it it the same string?
I don't know if you can just edit that file as root
to change that string to a "valid" one and flash your tablet os?
Probably not that simple.
