At the end, Maemo Diablo release for N810 is out. But if you have valuable information, programs or configuration on it maybe you’re worried about what you’ll loose in a reflashing. In fact, if you’ve done the upgrade yet you’ll notice that the main part of the apps from Extras repository are missing in Diablo for the moment. Fortunately, there’s a way to install the apps from the old Chinook repository.<\/p>\n

Here are six simple steps to perform the upgrade process and restore all your current applications:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Backup your \/home\/user to a safe place by hand. Standard backup tool won’t
    \nbackup every file you’ve at home and maybe you could need them later…<\/li>\n
  2. Do a backup using the backup tool.<\/li>\n
  3. Reflash the device with the new image<\/a> using the flasher tool<\/a> according to the reflashing instructions<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Restore the backup. Some old apps will remain grayshaded because the backup
    \ntool can’t find them in the now current Diablo repository.<\/li>\n
  5. Open Application Manager. Menu, tools, application catalog. Maemo Extras,
    \nedit. Distribution: chinook, uncheck the “disabled” checkbox, Accept. Close.<\/li>\n
  6. Menu, tools, restore applications. Accept.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s all. Enjoy your updated device!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
