Nokia N800/N810 get first over-the-air update: Walk-through

Back in april when Nokia launched the N810 WIMAX edition they also promised an updated version Internet Tablet operating system 2008 in the form of the OS2008 Feature Upgrade, also known as Diablo. The upgraded OS2008 introduced several useful new features to the platform, including an enhanced e-mail client, support for Chinese character rendering in the browser and RSS feeds. But one of the more important upgrades was the”Seamless Software Update” functionality to eliminate manual software updates.

With my N800 connected to the Wi-Fi connection, I got a strange orange icon ( with exclamation mark)in the Status bar. Upon clicking this icon you are notified that there’s a “New Software update availble.” Here it shows  wheather it’s a Nokia software, Third party software or Operating system update. In this case it was an update for the Nokia software. You click to install via Application manager and it will show you that there’s  “OS2008 Feature Upgrade” that have to do with “Updates to Email and Browser stability. The file itself is about 14MB and brings to OS2008 Feature Upgrade to version 4.2008.30.2. Once you do proceed with the update you are asked to an optional backup.

 

It first dowbnloads the update and then restarts, where the screen actually stays dimly lit and the notification light blinks several times and voila, no more updates via the PC!

Hi, I have n810 and have upgraded its firmware, my question is, when I log in my facebook account, and tried out some flash application, it kept saying that my flash player need update, but when i go to adobe.com to update it, there are some version, linux etc. But the application extension is different, and i can't install it. Do you have solution for this? many thanks
