Actually I'm not bound by OS, but no, the tool doesn't seem to find any update and is asking for a firmware file to be loaded manually. And getting that has proven to be quite the challenge, as it appears that this is a pre-release model. Thanks, Pete > The Windows tool is actually quite nice.

Yes, Ryan got it right. It was given given to a friend of mine directly by Nokia. As someone else mentioned using the RX-34 and RX-44 images is not an option[1]. In any case, I can't even access them on tablets-dev.nokia as it says my ID (MAC address) is invalid. And the windows tool comes up empty, and asks for a binary. I guess all I need is an updated image, if that is possible with this device. I've contacted Nokia directly and I'm waiting to hear back.

He is using Windows, so, yeah - the tool should be picking up the latest firmware automatically. The issue is more likely related to what Ryan was saying about non release hardware. The Windows tool is actually quite nice. It does have one flaw - it makes you connect the tablet whilst it downloads the firmware, which is not a good idea IMO. It should allow the firmware to be downloaded first - though I'm guessing it's using the tablet to get the MAC address info, so maybe it's just a design flaw mascaraing as a questionable practice :-) Should probably give the option to manually enter the MAC address, or at least, remember the last one, so that the painful wait on battery is lessened.

That's not what happens. You have to download the OS image yourself and specify it to tthe flasher. You can get the OS images at http://maemo.org/downloads/OS2008/ - look at the bottom of the right-hand column under "OS & SDK". You'll need your tablet's 12-digit product ID. The product ID is printed on the tablet's packaging and on the label underneath the tablet's battery, and displayed in the Control Panel (field WLAN MAC address in Control Panel > Device > About Product).

Where did you get that version (and the device) from? Internal release for the RX-48.

Well, the issue is that there's no public images available for RX-48. The RX-34 and RX-44 images don't have the stuff needed for the RX-48, so getting them running on the RX-48 isn't going to be an option like it was for the RX-34 back in November with the RX-48 image. -- Ryan Abel Maemo Community Council chair ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Updating n810w (rx-48) to latest firmware
Hi, I have n810 wimax (rx-48) where I need to upgrade from maemo 0.2008.14-9 to the latest version (4.2008.36-5). However, I can't seem to get my hands on a frimware binary. I've tried both http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_N810.php and the Windows software update tool from Nokia (Nokia_Internet_Tablet_Software_Update_Wizard.exe) without any luck. Has anyone had the same problem? Thanks, Pete ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
