| newn900 | Suitable USB device not found, waiting. | 06:43 |
| newn900 | wish i could run the bin flash off the phone directly | 06:46 |
| brolin_empey | newn900: I do not know but KotCzarny or DocScrutinizer05 or maybe someone else may be able to help you. | 06:49 |
| newn900 | I'll hang out here for a while but its almost 6am though so won't respond. | 06:50 |
| L29Ah | newn900: does its usb otherwise work? | 06:53 |
| newn900 | yep | 06:53 |
| newn900 | i just got it... seller refurbished | 06:53 |
| newn900 | i'm fairly its running pr 1.0 | 06:54 |
| newn900 | sure &^^ | 06:54 |
| L29Ah | have you tried 0xFFFF? | 06:55 |
| newn900 | what is that? | 06:55 |
| L29Ah | https://github.com/pali/0xFFFF | 06:55 |
| newn900 | oh i'm running windows :-( | 06:57 |
| KotCzarny | ~flashing | 07:34 |
| infobot | well, maemo-flashing is http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware, or - on linux PC - download&extract http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/patches_n_tools/maemo-my-private-workdir.tgz, cd into it, do sudo ./flash-it-all.sh; or see ~flashing-cmdline, or see ~lazyflashing | 07:34 |
| newn900 | yeah i've read over that about 4 times already | 07:41 |
| KotCzarny | and which part gives you trouble? | 07:42 |
| newn900 | stuck with suitable USB device not found, waiting | 07:47 |
| KotCzarny | are you starting with powered off n900? | 07:48 |
| KotCzarny | ie. battery out | 07:48 |
| newn900 | shutdown via menu, then power on with u held so usb symbol appears | 07:48 |
| KotCzarny | try getting battery out | 07:49 |
| KotCzarny | starting flasher, connecting cable then insert battery | 07:49 |
| newn900 | C:\Program Files (x86)\maemo\flasher-3.5>flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_21.2011.38-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R | 07:49 |
| KotCzarny | also, run cmd prompt as administrator | 07:49 |
| newn900 | yeah i am.. | 07:50 |
| newn900 | i think i need to reboot and try setting unsigned drivers option.. pretty sure i'm running 3 unsigned drivers for other applications though. | 07:50 |
| KotCzarny | you can also download some livecd linux and boot it | 07:50 |
| newn900 | that'll be tomorrow so :) | 07:51 |
| newn900 | thanks for your help | 07:51 |
| KotCzarny | just keep in mind it's more than 10 years old | 07:51 |
| KotCzarny | so grab some older os if you can run it | 07:51 |
| newn900 | i know... i bought one when thy came out first | 07:51 |
| newn900 | i have two now.. | 07:52 |
| newn900 | one is busted. dropped it hard | 07:52 |
| newn900 | i'd probaly be well off if i could remove the main memory chip and solder it onto my new device | 07:52 |
| brolin_empey | newn900: You can use UNetbootin on Windows to create a live USB drive with a persistent installation of an Ubuntu-based GNU+Linux distribution. | 08:12 |
