There is warning screen, as mentioned in first post. I don't know why? I tried to change security code from the settings UI also, same result.


// might be corrupted firmware image????

As long as there is a warning screen you cannot set the password. Only way to fix it is to use the flashing command:

sudo flasher -f -F main.bin -R

(And ofcourse you need main.bin which has no errors in it).

No, unless you have taken backups of the deb files, then you can just reinstall those with dpkg -i *.deb, otherwise you must reinstall one by one from the store.

This is why I don't prefer to flash. Anyway I will try this weekend.

After flashing n9 seems to be working fine. Last time i missed the final step which might be the reason for that warning message.
"Reboot into the new OS (flasher -R)."
