I just flashed the new image. The only thing I noticed was that when I start up, it's in Root mode? I thought reflashing disables root mode and you'd have to enable it via flasher again? Or does this mean that Nokia finally gave us Root default?

Even when reflashing, root mode is still enabled. I've had to reflash a couple of times after was enabled and it's still enabled after the flash.

Sounds like this an update that is worth having. I'm looking forward to it.

is anyone else having issues when running wolfram's extrootfs script to setup the symbolic links to the mmc card?

Even if this update doesn't give you any visual changes, it still definately should have bug fixes which is great no matter what since the Nokia 770 is very buggy at times. I think everyone should update.

I am not very sure if this image is worth updating. I havent noticed anything and if any my browser which almost never crashed before died on me a couple of times today.
The clock is 3 hrs ahead of the actual time and when you click on mmc under memory from the control panel it shows that it cant read the mmc since its connected to usb or something to that effect. I think it may be worthwhile holding on to the update esp if the new release with VoIP and PIM etc is just round the corner

It would definitely help if the maemo developers released a summary of changes.

I haven't experienced anything you just said. The MMC has always said that you can't view it if it's connected to a USB cable. The browser is working fine for me. And my clock is the same as it always has been since I used the Restore Settings feature on the 770. To me, this firmware update is much smoother and faster than the last one and file manager and similar programs open quicker. Just my 2 cents...

clicking on the mmc from the control panel gives the error even if you DONT have a usb cable connected. I guess i should have had the better sense to backup my previous settings. There have been numerous ppl who have encountered the "clock forward" problem. I just think it may be better to put off updating till the reports (good and bad) file in. Of course its not a big deal as one can always reflash back to the older image.

I am having trouble updating...

Windows XP using the Nokia cable (usb cable).

As soon as I boot the 770 with the home button pressed, windows says it is a unrecognized USB device.

I have already updated the device twice before and now it is running the root enabled version from December.

I might have to try using Linux to update the device.

Yes, I have that problem sometimes too. It has to do with it malfunctioning with that certain USB port. For me, it wouldn't work on 2 USB ports in the front of the PC. I then tried it in the back USB port and it worked fine. Try a different USB port and see if that helps.

Or you can use Linux like you said.

Hmm. That's weird. It works fine for me. And yeah, I ALWAYS backup the settings so I don't have to re-enter my network WEP, set up my phone, bookmarks, preferences, etc....
