Anyone know where I can get hold of the latest firmware and flashing utility to sort out my N800?


I need the RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin file but all the links on the Nokia site seem to be blown :(


EDIT: Never mind. I managed to find a new link here!


EDIT2: Now I need to get hold of the flasher utility :(


EDIT3: Got that here!


In case anyone else needs to know, here's how to flash it from ubuntu..

  1. Make sure your battery is fully charged.

  2. Install the flasher utility using either Gdebi or the software manager.

  3. Copy/move your firmware into your home folder

  4. Connect your device to your computer via USB.

  5. Run
    flasher-3.5 -F RX-34_DIABLO_5.2008.43-7_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
    in a terminal.

  6. While holding the Home/Swap button, power on the device by holding the power button. You should see a Nokia logo in the middle of the screen, and a USB icon in the top right corner.

  7. Release the Home/Swap button when the green line has started filling up across the bottom of the screen.


That should be all :)
