Nokia N900 Firmware Updated to 2.2009.51-1 – Changelog Included

The Nokia N900 received a minor update on Monday to prepare for the major update released just now. The Maemo team is calling the update Maemo 5 PR1.1, but the version number is 2.2009.51-1. Nokia has provided the official changelog and wow it is long!

n900 desk-2

I was planning on just copying and paste the changelog here, but you’ll be overwhelmed. Read the Maemo 5 PR1.1 changelog.

The update is available through the application manager on the Nokia N900, so go check if it’s available for you. I’ll report back my thoughts after spending some time with the new firmware.

    Reset your device by going to settings and tapping the top of the screen where the word settings is displayed. This worked wonders for me
  • It's great that Nokia actually improved N900 firmware and fixed tons of bugs reported by user. The best news is the hidden portrait mode browser. However, i'm curious whether Nokia implement full portrait mode in N900. Too bad I'm a Malaysian who still waiting N900 too come.

    I just tried installing the new version using Nokia Software Updater 2.2009.51-1 which I downloaded from the Nokia website.

    started all right, but when I was 1 second for the installation, I got an error in Nokia Software Updater and hill, I even went out the message that I had to reboot the pc.

    to do so and try again, I can not. now I do not detect the phone.
    not turn on. when I give the Power button I get the nokia logo and then shut off.

    I try again to update with Nokia Software Updater and I get a sign saying that the phone connects directly to the pc, which, had it directly connected to pc. says mediente not connect a USB hub, so I do not have it.

    the case is that the phone has been screwed. It will not start.

    I guess you uninstalled the operating system and going to install the new version is when the error has the Nokia Software Updater

    REFUSE TO 600 €

    pardon my English
  • arempee
    while downloding the update, there is a note at the bottom that it says DO NOT DISCONNECT the phone while updating, did you disconnect the USB from the phone while updating? I had this problem from my old NOKIA phone, so i had to send my phone to nokia center to get it fix. so i suggest to do desame thing!...
  • curro_cr
    thanks for your answer at any time disconnect the phone from pc.

    I sent the phone to a service technician for nokia.

    now I have to wait 15 or 20 days.

    thank you very much for Repond, a greeting

    SUccessfully upgraded although it took ages to clean up the apps to make space for it. So far, FASTER, but other than that, no visible change.
  • saad
    can you please explain what you mean by cleaning up apps to make space?? I tried downloading the new Maemo 5 version but I get an error message saying memory full !!!! Which apps did you have to clean up ?
    Appreciate your help,
  • Steph

    You need to contact Nokia for repair, this happened to me on my 5800 too. I suggest you use a different PC next time you attempt an upgrade.
