Hi

I got it working. Win 7 wants to install a driver of its own so it blocks very effectively functionality of flasher-3.5. No idea if there is a way to get around it. So Win 7 updates cant be done unless you get your device to pc-suite -mode unless somebody gets a way around (if).

I downloaded the firmware 42 three times and third time got it working. Managed to flash without problems using pen drive ubuntu.

but now the whole device isn't so much better from a solid brick.

-Web browser doesnt accept text input to text boxes, reloads the page couple of times when trying and finally renders a page
"Päivitä"(its finnish with broken umlauts,päivitä, means: update) plus a link to the page you tried to open

-app manager can't install anything. tried to install foreca weather and log shows this:

dpkg:unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
unable to open files list file for package 'fmtx-middleware':Structure need


-email app starts but shows blank screen and the circle that indicates loading


have I done something wrong? is there something wrong in the 42 image? is there problems with my hardware? should I just file a bug per point?

if you want flash it you don't need to push a special key anymore. Just
start flasher and then connect the n900 via usb to the computer. If you
turn it on, flasher will gain control over the device.

Good luck,
