The Surface is tempting (but expensive and wrong OS).

How much efforts did you spent for disabling all the spy features?

10 seconds....

By a full reflash?

What command have you used?

But, taking the symptom of unexpected shutdown into account, it may ne also a broken MMC chip.
Hopefully not, so possibly only a broken download of image file. Did you compare the MD5sum?

Code:

sudo flasher -f -F main.bin --flash-only=cmt

i have no clue how can i fix this now.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Ah okay. Your device starts?
I assumed it does not. But looking at your command you really only want to flash cmt.

Okay, so when the device starts: what is so difficult to disable devicelock under Settings-Security-Devicelock?

But it might be HW failure of modem, too. :(

and why disable device lock so difficult? first off all i doesn't even know it was on. the other problem is that till i tried to flash cmt the phone cannot start in normal mode. after power on it warns me to "install a verified operating system" or something like that...that's why i can't go on and switch off the lock, can't backup, etc...

oh and yes. i have a bad feeling about this too :mad:

Only chance to verify:
full reflash (eMMMc and firmware).
As your device starts a backup is easy ...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Yes. Everything!

You may try firmware only. But ...
