New N900 Firmware PR 1.1.1 version 3.2010.02-8 Now Available
The Nokia N900 has received a new firmware in the form of PR 1.1.1 (version 3.2010.02-8). This looks like a minor update and is available as an image from N900 firmware section as well as over the air if you search for updates. The OTA option is a 16.2 MB download and looks like a precursor to the major PR 1.2 update.
This update adds a number of regions to the N900, as quite a number of countries were earlier missing from the N900′s list. Apart from that there is no changelog available. I will update this post if I see something new.
The changelog is now available here, this firmware fixes the battery drain issue when connected to WIFI and browser improvements among other minor things.
Update: If you get a memory error while trying to update the N900 over the air, trying rebooting the device once. If that still doesn’t solve your problem then disable the Extras-Devel and Extras-Testing repositories and try again.
Update 2: The update is also available via the Nokia Software Updater, however when you update using it, you will loose your applications and settings, while the contacts and other data including photos will remain intact. So please make sure you backup before you update.

hi Vaibhav,
I had NOT updated to firmware PR 1.1 and now I see Maemo update 3.2010.02-8.002 with size 92.7mb in the application manager. Please let me know the size and version number you see.
Thanks
Bipin
Bipin, I had updated to the PR 1.1 so it came up as a 16.5 MB update for me. But since you had not, the file size you see is bigger because it incorporates the updates from the PR 1.1 as well. The version we both see will be the same.
Application manager says that update is requiring N900 connected to PC and Nokia Software updater.
Shouldn’t be, I updated OTA without an issue. Try rebooring, disabiling the extras repos and then trying. It could be because you have run out of space in the root.
Thanks Vaibhav,
Just updated and everything seems to be working fine. It feels a bit more responsive.. Waiting for pr 1.2..
Updated firmware via NSU. After update programs and settings are missing and I was lazy do recommended backup
Strange, it looks like firwmare was not updated, but reflashed.
When you update the FW via NSU, you WILL loose apps and settings always. The contacts etc are intact though. I think I will update the post for the benefit of others.
For the record I have used NSU v2.4.3 (beta). Few times I have used NSU to update N97 FW, and everything was ok, I didn’t know that with N900 is different thing.
changelog please!!!!
rootfs usage has gone up by about 10% after updating via OTA.. anyone facing the same prob.. i also did a restart…
