Flasher for Mac OS X problem

I'm using the Nokia 770 Flasher for Mac OS X v0.8.1 for the first time.

The external memory card is removed from the n800. The USB cable is
connected directly from the n800 to the Mac mini--no USB hub. The n800
is turned off. I use the flasher to locate the image and select it.
I wait until the flasher says "Suitable USB device not found, waiting"
and then I turn on the n800. I press down on the Home button as I
press down on the power button.

Here what I get...

SW version in image: RX-34_2007SE_4.2007.38-2_PR_MR0
Image 'kernel', size 1317632 bytes
Version 2.6.18-200738osso1

Version 0.94-17
Image 'rootfs', size 87162880 bytes

Valid for RX-34: 1301, 1302, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, 1601, 1602
Version 1.1.6-5
Image 'secondary', size 95872 bytes
Valid for RX-34: 1301, 1302, 1501, 1502, 1503, 1504, 1601, 1602
Version 1.1.6-5
USB device found found at bus 004, device address 003-0421-0105-02-00
sh: line 1: /Applications/Utilities/Nokia: No such file or directory
Found device RX-34, hardware revision 1301
NOLO version 1.1.2
Version of 'sw-release': RX-34_2007SE_1.2006.47-20_PR_MR0
Sending xloader image (8 kB)...
100% (8 of 8 kB, avg. 2958 kB/s)

That's all the flasher will do.

How long should I wait before giving up? I've waited about ten
minutes. Nothing happens. Should I wait longer?

I bought the n800 last January. I'm kind of disgusted that there's
still no Mac OS X support from Nokia.

The amazing Linux device! Microsoft Windows required for OS upgrade.
;-)

Tallyho,
Thomas Armagost

Try holding the Home (house) key down when you power up... seems to
help get things connected and keep the USB mode active

I did hold it down during the initial power-up and USB connection. I
stopped holding it down shortly after the flasher recognized the n800.
Should I hold down the Home key longer than that?

Approximately how long should the entire upgrade process take? Thirty
seconds? Ten minutes? An hour and a half?

This worries me a little. Does it mean anything?

Are you using my GUI flasher? Apparently it doesn't support spaces in
the filenames, but as I've not got a Mac anymore I can't check (or fix
this).

Cheers,

Andrew

Sounds like andrew has the issue noted with the name, though it has
worked well for of on all the tablets. Flashing takes a few min
including time to power up in my experience ...

Re: Flasher for Mac OS X problem [In reply to]

Yes, I'd renamed the OS X subdirectory "Nokia flasher" months ago. I
changed the name back to "Nokia" and the flasher worked.

Thanks for your help.

I upgraded to the most recent version of OS2007. I'll flash OS2008
eventually.

Tallyho,
