Imaging

From the N900 Imaging machine, run

cd ~/n900-imaging
sudo ./flash.py

and follow the on screen directions

Machine Setup

THIS SECTION IS FOR SETTING UP A NEW IMAGING MACHINE The rest of the document is not applicable for flashing.

To make this go quicker, you can set up your MacBook (or any mac) to be a flashing computer.

Start by setting up the required Mozilla written tools

cd ~ #or wherever you want to work from
hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/build/tools
ln -s tools/buildfarm/mobile/n900-imaging

At this point you need to obtain the following files:

• moz-n900-vNN.ubi - mozilla custom firmware
• RX-51_2009SE_1.2009.41-1.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin
• RX-51_2009SE_2.2009.51-1_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin

The easiest way is to run

scp maemo@mobile-image02.build.mozilla.org:n900-imaging/moz-n900-*.ubi .
scp maemo@mobile-image02.build.mozilla.org:n900-imaging/RX-51*.bin .

Finally, you need the Mac OS X version of the flasher-3.5 program. Download 'maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2_i386.dmg' from here(live link doesn't work). Next you will need to obtain.

Flashing is the same as working on the linux machine,

sudo ./flash.py

Once the device is finished, reset the battery and turn the device on. Once up, launch the terminal and run

sudo initialize <num>

where <num> is the number of the N900. Example, n900-001 you would use 001
