Re: Please help, I need a flash image
Tim, Been there, done that. And it sucks that Nokia is unwilling/incompetent in helping out. Good news is that there is a workaround. Have a look at this thread: http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=24501 Basically you need to figure out how to use a tool like Webscarab or wait until someone fixes that bug[1]. Good luck! Pete [1]https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3808 Tim Ashman wrote: Hopefully someone can help me. Nokia's phone support wants me to send the unit in and I'm just not going to do that. Here is my problem. Last night I nuked the ability of my n810 to boot. I came in this morning downloaded the windows flasher utility and proceeded to try and reflash the unit. After the wizard sees my unit I click next and it reports that my computers clock is wrong and that it can't continue because it can't authenicate. Huh, besides the fact that I have no idea why it would care I was stuck. so... I tried the linux manual way. I went to my other computer downloaded the flash command utility and proceeded to the get the image page. I entered in my WLAN ID and the page reports that it is not a valid product. Great. So I called nokia to say I'm sadly disappointed with them is an understatement. Not only did the support rep not understand the problem, he kept asking me to do things on the tablet after several times of me telling him the unit would not reach the home screen and was in an endless loop I asked for his supervisor. After 5 minutes he came on and simply told me I had to send the unit in. So I'm asking if anyone can send me or make available the latest or even any version of the diablo firmware so that I can try and flash my unit manually I would really appriecate it. The real problem appears to be with the windows wizard software and the fact that right now we are in the two week period where the US use to change to daylight savings, but now it is not for two weeks. I've tried setting my clock backwards and forwards, etc to no avail. If someone knows that this is a problem with my actual windows pc, maybe there is some weird patch, I don't know but this forum is my last hope. If nobody here can help I will not be purchasing another nokia device and will take a look at android or one of the netbooks running linux. Please help I like my nokia and sending the unit in when in probably two weeks the problem will fix itself is just stupid. Not to mention that nokia support was completely unwilling to help by sending me the flash image or even entertaining the idea that something might be wrong on their end.

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? 0.2008.14-9? Where did you get that version (and the device) from? Internal release for the RX-48. Clearly this is an internal pre- release device. Your description is vague - What *exactly* was the issue with flashing it? Any error messages? 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. 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. 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. 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. (NOTICE: I use a Mac now and have only used the Windows flasher circa IT OS 2007, so it might have changed by now..)
