Loken, If it says you don’t have enough space it’s prob because you have install loads of apps from Devels, and now your Rootfs doesn’t have enough space.

Let me know if this doesn’t help.

It looks like there might be a problem with the NSU download files. Are people still having problems here?

If the download fails, maybe you can try over wireless ?

Thanks for the advice, seems like the download is still screwed up though.

I checked the amount of free space on rootfs, and realized that there was not enough space (compared to recommendations i’ve seen in several forums). So I had to uninstall some apps (as Tom did), and voila; after that OTA update started with no problems at all!

Actually, for me, the message meant I didn’t have enough (~55meg) free space on rootfs.
Uninstalling some applications allowed me to continue.
I suspect the reflash you do has much the same effect but is far more intrusive. Why the installer can’t just tell you the real reason I dunno.

Same problem as above all are facing
It stops downloading on 33.6 mb and shows an error message Downloading Failed. I have tried it more than 100 times and from many different systems but the same message
Its frustrating as Nokia Softwares developers should only launch a update when they r sure that it will work properly
As these days customer has many options on smart phone, but we stick to nokia only because of softwares like pc suite and ovi suite
N900 also doesn’t support simple functions like say caller name, Advance call manager, speed dialing
