| - | # Understand that these packages are unofficial software updates provided by the maemo.org community with no warranty expressed or implied and are not supported by Nokia. Is is highly recommended that you have a recent backup before proceeding and that you are comfortable [[Updating_the_firmware|reflashing]] your device if necessary.
| + | |
| - | # Make sure you have not (perhaps unintentionally) removed the appropriate osso-software-version-rxXX package for your device, or if you have [[Updating_the_firmware#Seamless_Software_Update|re-install it]] as SSU simply won't work without it.
| + | |
| - | # Visit http://repository.maemo.org/community/community.install with the built-in browser (microb) and open it with the application manager when prompted. This will install the community repository and an enabler package that loads its public key and sets up the package domain with a higher priority than the nokia-system one so that nokia-system packages can be updated.
| + | |
| - | # Refresh the application manager (bottom right button) so it will see the packages in the community-updates domain and offer the update.
| + | |
| - | # Install the update.
| + | |
| - | # Report any issues [https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=diablo-community-updates here].

| + | |
| - | # If you still wish to go ahead, visit http://repository.maemo.org/community-testing/community-testing.install with the built-in browser (microb) and open it with the application manager when prompted. Otherwise proceed as above.
