N770 firmware still available somewhere?
Hi!

At some point I installed HE onto my old 770, but it caused it
to crash all the time. As I got a 810 (and then a 900), I didn't
bother doing anything about it, but now I think it is a pity to
leave the hardware unused. I wanted to downgrade to the non-HE
firmware, but seems the Nokia server for the firmware is not
working any more. :(

If you install OS2006 you'll probably also want to install the patched
wifi driver from <https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2006> to fix
the memory corruption bug (ironically the later HE firmware versions
include the fix and thus are more stable than the official releases).

<http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/nokia_770.php> still looks fine from here.

Thanks! Unfortunately on my 770 the HE reboots every 5 minutes or so :(

Looks fine for me too, but when actually trying to download the
firmware, I get:

"Corrupted Content Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in
the data transmission was detected.

Hm, searching for that message shows it's a common problem with firefox
version >= 7, so try a different browser first. If it fails
consistently then it might be an akamai problem, in which case file a
bug report under
<https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=maemo.nokia.com%20Website>.

For what it's worth I was able to download
SU-18_2006SE_3.2006.49-2_PR_F5_MR0_ARM.bin (and its md5sum matches the
published one) so if it's a network problem at least it looks like a
local one. You could try downloading it from a different IP range
perhaps?

Ah, yes! Downloads OK with Chromium! Thanks!
