Preparations

Before flashing:

  • Ensure that your battery is fully charged.
  • Unplug the charger and turn the device off.

Different images

There are two images available, open MeeGo image and one with some closed Nokia proprietary binaries. The open MeeGo image contains only opensource components and can be downloaded from FIXME.

The image with the closed Nokia proprietary binaries will add following functionalities:

  • Battery management (BME)
  • WLAN firmware
  • BT frirmware

Installing MeeGo image

Get the open MeeGo image and also the kernel (zImage-arm-n900) from FIXME.

1. Make sure your device is turned off and the battery is fully charged.

2. Next start the flasher software:

sudo flasher-3.5 -f -k zImage-arm-n900 -r <meego.ubiimg> 

3. Connect the device to computer with USB cable.

4. If the flasher does not recognize the device go back to step 1.
