The main question is - should I really be bothered to do that, since I have device capable receiving system updates OTA?!? Personally, I only regard flashing as appropriate when I've entered major, non-fixable otherwise issue with my device. I know it's quick to do, I know there's pretty good backup app which restores nearly all my settings (apart from those I made manually via CLI, obviously - but yet another annoyance after flashin) but... I am really not finding this as the workaround for OTA update that just *should* be there. I've been in that zoo for few years once (Windows Mobile, I am looking at you!) where each system upgrade required a total havoc in device and I am seriously very far away from entering similar area again. For the record, I currently have generic UK firmware (.203) ver. PR1.1 and I'm not happy about lack of PR1.1.1 in my application manager ready to download. I can somewhat understand operator-specific fw upgrades being delayed due to external acceptance procedure, but why oh why generic editions are getting such delays too??? -- Dawid 'evad' Lorenz * http://adl.pl null://I would love to change the world, but they won't give me the source code ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I'm pretty sure Rapidshare is free and does not require you to pay to download. AFAIK you have to wait a minute or two when downloading. Rapidshare was used as a temporally option. Chris Pitchford has offered to provide hosting for UK firmwares. The main point being, MD5/SHA1 information should be available for all firmware versions/variants in tablets-dev not just the one currently listed in there, so for those firmwares Nokia 'refuse' to put/host in tablets-dev they can be mirrored elsewhere + when tablets-dev is down, tablets-dev has been down for several occasions. See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6878 for discussion.

UK Maemo firmware location = Rapidshare??!
Hey there, Does anyone know why the current N900 UK firmware is only available on rapidshare? http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_UK_variant_firmware I installed stuff from extras-devel and thus my n900 wants me to flash it - I'd be happy to do so, however downloading the firmware has proved somewhat of a challenge. Someone has been using Rapidshare as a "usable" file host. http://rapidshare.com/files/346892600/RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1.203.2_PR_F5_203_ARM.bin which is meant to allow one to download the latest UK generic firmware won't allow me to download the relevant file due to rapidshare being completely unhelpful and fail and wanting me to pay to download from it. Considering I bought the bleeding device (which I love dearly!) does anyone know of a reason these files aren't available from a *.maemo.org or *.nokia.com site...? :) I'd really really like to upgrade my phone soon! :) Any help or pointers is always appreciated. :) Cheers, Tim ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
