Nokia 2.4 Android 11 Firmware

[Edward]

Ive developed an issue since the last Android 10 OS update where the phone doesn't charge unless it's in 'USB Controlled by device' mode, which it usually fails to switch to. I'd like to try flashing stock firmware to it, as resetting to factory default didn't fix the issue.

I've tried downloading a stock firmware file and using the recovery mode option to install from SD card, but alas the timestamp on the file was older than the current OS, and so it refused to downgrade.

Since I'm a complete newbie to the android hacking world, I'm looking for an easy to understand solution to install a fresh stock firmware / ROM (not sure what the nomenclature difference is) or failing that, backing up the existing firmware and re-installing that. Naturally, the phone isn't rooted nor is the bootloader unlocked etc, nor do I currently know how to do those things.

I'm continually frustrated with Nokia. They make truly excellent hardware but akways seem to produce the most disappointing software. The N95 & the N810 are perfect examples of this. Powerful and innovative computers let down by shoddy software.

There are various tutorials on the web, but here's my quick & pain free howto for people running Ubuntu. This is based on the instructions from the Nitdroid Homepage and the InternetTabletTalk forums.

Remember to change /dev/sdb3 to whatever your device is actually called.We now need to go to the "/android" directory and extract the filesystem to it. At the command line, type

cd /android

This means that the flashing software is looking for the N810.On the N810, hold down the "Switch" button (The one which looks like two overlapping squares, just under the camera). With the button held down, push the power button.You'll see some messages on your PC's screen indicating that the device is being flashed. Let go of the buttons.Wait.Wait a little while longer.Have a biscuit to calm your nerves.It should be over and done with in less than a minute.Once it's complete, unplug the N810. Power it off, then on again. You should see this screen.It takes about 5 minutes for the first boot to complete. If it takes substantially longer than that, read the troubleshooting section.TADA! You now have Android on your N810.WiFi works - as do the keyboard and touchscreen. At the moment, sound, BlueTooth & GPS don't. There are a few random crashes, and the performance leaves a little to be desired. Much like the original Maemo software!Troubleshooting.

If it all goes wrong, here's how to get your N810 back to the latest official firmware.

I really like the N810, but I wouldn't describe it as excellent hardware. The touchscreen is dreadful and really lets down an otherwise great device.

Or maybe I'm just upset that my screen got scratched and means that the onscreen keyboard is now unusable as it is constantly detecting extra screen presses. I've not known that happen to a screen on any device in more than 5 years.

hey mate i wanted to ask where you say type the command in the command line -- where is that and how to go to the directory and everything iam not soo good with programming and was just following your instructions it'll be better if you had a video but no worries please tell me i was also having problems while creating file systems on my nokia n97 ! help please!!! :/
