Clean Install of N900

What's this all about?

For the past few months I've had a tendancy to reflash my n900, in a search for the holy grail of reflashes to end all reflashes. As I stagger my way to the goal, I'll be using this as a scratch pad to note all my findings, cack-handed or otherwise.


Let's Begin at the Beginning

Flash eMMC and firmware 1.3

Download the images from the usual place. Flash and bring the beast to life.

  • Add wifi connection, unless you have an understanding service provider and you are in a 3.5G area (2g here - you'd be crazy to attempt that).
  • Open HAM and install rootsh ; you are no longer constrained by the PC brigage and have access to the box of matches and petrol.

Launch Terminal and install essentials

In terminal, enter the following:

root
apt-get install openssh

Enter your new root password when asked and, assuming your beast is connected to the network, you can now SSH and no longer suffer finger cramp.
