The clock issue seems to be known:

Your "wrong ID" number is really puzzling though. If i remember
correctly your ID is the mac address of your tablet network interface
(without the ":").

You can get this value by launching "/sbin/ifconfig" on a terminal when
the wifi network is available. look for a similar line:

wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1D:6E:11:11:11  

In this case, the id number would be 001D6E111111

Be sure you try to download a n810 firmware with a n810 mac address, or
a n800 firmware with a n800 mac address.

Good luck.
