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.
