If you want to know FOR A FACT whether anything with legal ramifications is true, you need to interview several lawyers who have tried a case involving same and see what they say. Of course, you will need to pay full fees involved.

If you would like to know with less certainty than that, consider the following.

Thousands of users have flashed their devices and not one has ever reported problems with Nokia care or reported here that anyone from Nokia has ever told them that flashing voided their warranty.

Overclocking is a separate issue, and there have been specific warnings from Nokia that overclocking voids the warranty. I have not seen any written claims from users that state that Nokia has told them their problem won't be fixed becaused they overclocked, but it could happen, in theory.

N9 lost all signal
 

Yesterday my N9 started acting wierd...
suddently it:
lost all signal
camera coudn't launch
restarted by itself.

Once it had sartet up it wrote something like "there is something wrong with your sim-card" /
at other times is says "an error has occured cannot connect to network - Contact Nokia store"

I tried using my simcard in another phone - and it workes fine - so it's not the simcard causing this, i think.

Then i figured that it could be a software problem, så first i tried to:

Restore Settings, do the following:

Open “Settings”
Tap “Reset”
Choose “Restore Settings”
Tap “Yes” to confirm the process.

Still got the message "there is something wrong with your sim-card".

then i tried:

To Clear Device, do the following:

Open “Settings”
Tap “Reset”
Choose “Clear Device”
Tap “Yes” to confirm the process.

still got the same message once starting up.

Finally i tried to flash it following the steps in this guide...i used the """""""Flasher -f -F rootfs.bin -F emmc.bin -R"""""""" thing..

The result was this:

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

I've just bought a second hand cyan n9 and i want to flash it to get it cleaned. its product code is 059L5H1: N9 RM-696 Country Variant Switzerland CH Cyan 16GB V1_COLOR but the latest firmware on navifirm for it is 20.2011.40.4 which i'm guessing is not pr1.2. which firm should i flash? GLOBAL CYAN SWAP (059K3R5) or i can flash any other 16gb firm as portuguese version (i'm from spain)

thank you

Re: N9 lost all signal
 

I have the same problem!! You had any luck yet???:(

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

My N9 got stuck into a reboot loop when I added a line into a .conf file for adding support to an non-us external keyboard. I don't know what I did wrong, as the line I added seems correct considering the tutorial, but anyway, since then, reboot loop.

I tried to reach step #7 here, but no way. Maemoflasher cannot find the phone, so I cannot do anything. Any idea?

Here are the symptoms I detailed in the topic about the tweak I tried:


It is kind of very very urgent for me. I'm leaving on saturday morning and I will need a phone where I'm going (as well as maps). I have a spare N900 if I can't figure out how to fix the N9, but I would have to configure it and build a microsim adapter. I know I shouldn't have played with a .conf file as I knew I would need a working phone shortly, that was stupid. But honestly I really did not think that this line would brick the phone, especially because people have done it before me and I am sure I edited the file just as they did. :/

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

I finally managed to get the phone to be detected by the computer by using another USB cable (which is strange, as the USB icon appeared briefly on the N9 with the oher cable). However, Maemoflasher still does not detect anything, either in Windows (Seven 64) or in a Linux virtual machine.

[Edit] Got it working, and solved the reboot loop by restoring the .conf file. Yeepee.
