for me i have this weird habit if i reflash my phone i prefer to keep it clean by formatting all drives and only restore what is necessary like contacts and smses only
*
Yes agree with u. I also do the same. I have a lot of application installed but after flash i just install application that compitable with pr1.2. if u see under appman then edit maemo u will see fremantle-1.2 before it use fremantle only. I just restore contact, sms and bookmark only.

TQ

guys, i've failed flashing AGAIN to pr1.2. i've done full reflashing (rootfs+eMMC) but still got infinite reboot loop. now reflash to pr 1.1, seems ok, but the first boot took long enough (around 2 minutes). After load into homescreen, my sim card is not detected.

btw,RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin and RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin (global release) is what i'm using to flash.
*
I flash like this...

1. Off your N900

2. Press U on yr N900 keyboard together insert USB cable until u see dim Nokia Logo in the

middle of the N900 screen and USB Logo on the right top of your N900.

3. Flash root file system 1st. Make sure without -R parameter (R = reboot)
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f

4. Once finish/complete flash, disconnect USB and switch off (if n900 on). Must off b4 n900

load new pr1.2.

5. Press U again on yr N900 keyboard together insert USB cable until u see dim Nokia Logo in

the middle of the N900 screen and USB Logo on the right top of your N900.

6. Flash eMMC with -R parameter.
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R

7. Once finish it will auto reboot.

TQ

Agree. the manual flashing process very fast. for me is about 2-3 mins then done. my contact, email, sms still there after reflash. no need to restore from backup.
*
Hmm how come after u flash yr email/sms/contact still there ? are u flash PR1.2 only ? or together with eMMC. Mine after flash PR1.2 and eMMC all gone. Need to restore.

TQ

maybe your bin file is corrupted.

first boot usually take few minutes. and the sim card problem i had it too. after flashing emmc then never happen again.
*
If firmware corrupted at the 1st place it won't allow u to transfer and upgrade yr firmware. It will stop at the command prompt.

at step 4, once finish, my n900 auto reboot and i've never got any chance to turn it off before got never ending reboot. or do u mean take out the battery to force-turn off?
*
When finish u can see yr N900 led will blink and at Windows command prompt completed. Then disconnect USB and hold on/off button. If cannot then take out battery.

today is the official release date for global pr1.2

i flash like this:

1. run command prompt, cd to flasher directory
2. turn off n900, unplug from pc
3. plug in n900, pc detect flash memory, ignore and close
4. run the command to flash, it will say "waiting..."
5. turn on n900
6. flasher start running and complete
7. unplug n900 and switch on

i did not press u at all.

meli, your step 3 is misleading. you must make sure WITHOUT -R parameter.
although your command is correct
*
yup sorry my mistake suppose without -R. Follow the command.

Thanks bro

my n900 never turn off after the flash in step 5. as people say you must not boot your n900 between firmware flash and emmc flash.
i guess the U button is to prevent pc from detecting the eMMC drive. just press U for 'official way'. im just sharing my experience
the no-meego-shit piss me off
*
Mine brick when i flash PR1.2 and boot the device then flash eMMC. Afterthat it load half way the white screen with dotted color. Then reflash again without boot then ok.

meLi,

Care to share what's the RED and BLUE box widget?

And also, what's the widget showing CPU Frequency?

Did you create or put any widget on desktop to change clock speed on demand?
QUOTE(ccgenius @ May 26 2010, 08:12 PM)
ya meLi, i would like to know where do you get the cpu frequency widget also.. you make it yourself?
I'm using Queen BeeCon Widget.

For the CPU Frequency i'm using this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=673080&postcount=4017 it show cpu frequency only. To chang a clock speed will do later since i'm not OC my new fw yet. Like this

user posted image

For the use this code paste into QBW. Use widget type snippet. And change box saiz, font and color.

Phone Status

echo Uptime: `uptime|cut -d " " -f4-|sed 's/\, *load.*/ hours/';`
hal-device bme | awk -F"[. ]" '$5 == "is_charging" {chrg = $7}; $5 == "percentage" {perc = $7} END if (chrg == "false") {print "Battery: " perc "%"} else {print "Battery is Charging"}';
hal-device bme | grep battery.reporting | awk -F. '{print $3}' | sort | awk '$1 == "current" { current = $3}; $1== "design" {print "Battery (mAh): " current "/" $3}';

Disk Monitor

df -h| awk '/(^rootfs)|(\/home)|(\/mmc1)/{print $6;printf("%17s\n",$5 "/" $4)}'


A lot of command u can put into QBW like WAN IP, ISP Name etc. Also can look at Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts http://wiki.maemo.org/Desktop_Command_Exec..._Widget_scripts .Can be use at QBW. All on my desktop are QBW. U can add as many QBW widget on yr desktop.

p/s: I'm notice new fw using /opt and /home using the same partition.

TQ

To get the History, touch and hold the back "Back ARROW" key beside the "+" (bookmark) sign. It'll launch the History page.
*
Also can slide from the right bottom to launch history page. Same like u slide from the left bottom to get selection/copy/paste symbol

I got prob OC titan kernel and load starving. Keep restart when booting. 2 times keep restart then it normal boot and back to 600MHz. That is beauty of titan oc. Auto set to default if yr N900 keep rebooting.

Now im testing load ideal 250 850.
