Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Er, sorry, I misread your comment.

Try putting the phone into Sync and Connect mode, then do flasher -i. Once that successfully connects to the phone, then do the actual flash. It doesn't look like you were following the guide (though in theory it should work either way).

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

same.... dont recog phone

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Keep trying. It took me about 8 disconnect/reconnect USB attempts for the flasher to finally recognize my N9.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Patocr, are you usign the USB original cable that came with the phone?
Be aware that not all USB cables are created equal and if you're using a generic cable or one from another device, that could explain why your phone is not being recognized.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

im using the original cable.... i also tried with my other nokia cable, the one i used to flash several phones.

Anyway, the only time a pc recognized it, was a month b4 when i tried to reflash the pone to my actual version, and it couldn't because ota timestamp was newer than navifirm's one.

Still.... all day trying, no luck.
fk m

edit: not good.
now my phone wont charge up to 100%.
everytime i connect the phone in the usb i get the msg that usb has not enough power to charge the phone.
i can't even get close to a flashing point.
im exhausted.
im done, im selling.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

@patocr just from a different standpoint -
have you tried an alternate USB port? (im sure you have but in case you havnt - and i see you keep mentioning that your pc says it cant charge...)
Some usb ports just cant supply enough initial current - inrush - so might not work - especially on laptops and those for desktops that arent connected directly to the motherboard - in my experience.
Does Nokia Link or NSU see your phone on the same usb ports?
Also for charging alone - try charging directly from a wall charger - see if that helps.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

i tried it. all.
i have a imac. so ports are ports, i have 4, tried it all.
i have another desktop pc, the same. i have a notebook, the same.

its like a bug, everytime i connect to a pc now i get that msg. and after, states that i can charge. with wall charger, its okay.

Nsu see's it, but keeps saying my phone is connected through usb, were it isnt.
i want to trow it to the trash.

i cannot use fb or twiter nor im getting the update, nor i cant reflash to correct bugs. i feel like i have the most expensive phone and cant use it.

SUCKS BIG.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Have been trying to get Fenix mail and some Settings to launch since PR1.2 update. Tried NSU and Flasher to no avail.

Does Flasher actually write over all system files? (i.e. format the phone then re-install the firmware) Cuz it's not really working the way I envision it would.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

HOLY **** CRAP!
i made it work...... i managed to get a windows pc with XP, and using an old cable, i got it working.

now flashing (from argentinian personal n9 pr1.1 to hispanic 1.2)
hope it works good.

will edit when it ends.

EDIT: GREAT THX

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

@patocr - good to see you wont be selling now!
hows that pr1.2??

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Another Bravo for the guide. Gotta back that arse up now cause I had quicktweak on my N9 when I did the update to 1.2:confused:; now I need to flash to factory state:eek:. Into the deep I go, relatively unafraid, thanks to community support;).

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

I Hope someone can help here.

Today my phone went sluggish and I rebooted it, but it got stuck into a reboot loop, tried to revive it with Nokia link with no results.

Now I managed to flash it with my Mac following the instructions in this thread, flashing went fine but the phone is still in the loop, it goes barely to the point where i should enter pin before rebooting...

Any suggestions? Or is it to Nokia Care with me :(

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

What if you try zeroizing it? (remember, this = all data destroyed)

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Trying it now, as I am on Mac, did I understand correctly that I can't get the emmc? But the first command line should probably do the trick (if anything does), so i just leave this out?

EDIT: Zeroizing worked! Thank you for this extrmely helpful thread

Now to the tedious process of getting it back the way it was..

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Does anyone have an alternative site for the Mac flasher program? Its seems to be borked from the official download site on the first page.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Hi there,
this is so far the best guide i have found, but I need some little help before I flash my phone
insdie the log files of the firmware my phone version that I get from NaviFirm+:
059L698: N9 RM-696 Country Variant Australia AU Black 16GB V1
Log Files:
simlock_maemo__deB_allowed2_3gstandard_bb5_multi_a sic0.bin
simlock_maemo__deB_allowed2_3gstandard_bb5_multi_a sic1.bin
But I found this 2 .bin files, and I don't know if this will lock the SIM of my phone and then I will be in troubles well I guess.
So if any can tell me something about it, this .bin files can be exclude from the flash installation or they must also be also included in the installation??
Can any buddy help me, I’m so noob
:p

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

They won't lock your phone, but they also aren't needed for flashing. flasher only cares about the two huge .bin files starting with DFL61.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Sorry my english.

would have trouble doing it to LTA or Global version ?

tnks

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Hey.. I have a
N9 RM-696 Country Variant Sweden SE Black 16Gweden SE Black 16GB
Can i flash it to
RM-696 NDT CENTRAL EUROPE BLACK 16G
?

Im running PR 1.2
The legacys are 339 to 001 respectivly...
Thanks for the help

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

The LTA version actually is the global version, so go ahead.

The firmware for that variant was actually released this week, but if you want to flash it to 001, that should work too. :)

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

How can i do it if imm running pr 1.2 legacy 339 and want to flash to legacy Global 001

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Just tried it, "downgrade disallowed"
Im gonna wait till PR 1.3 comes out, then change my variant :)

Gonna reflash with original for now.
Thanks

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

If I do this on my phone the flashing works with no errors but bricks the phone any idea why?

Gabriel

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Sucess on reflashing with the same system and variant and rest of the world emmc.
When another firmware update comes out im gonna flash it to Global.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Does anyone know, I tried the zeroize device. Though my phone works, at boot it still displays the warning that I have modified the device software making the warranty void etc. how do I fix this? I cant use security code with this sh*t

EDIT: Before I zeroize, this is already present. I just thought it can fix it but it didnt.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

What firmware variant and versions were you using and what is the product number of your phone?

Were any errors reported by the flasher?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

PR1.2 for product code 059J232. Actually I have a long story.

When I was still on PR1.1, I did a device clear (Settings>reset>clear device) then I reflashed with PR1.1. I am able to flash the device safely with the same file before, but that time it failed, I think it became corrupted, but dont know how?:confused: Anyway, after the failed flash, my phone still boots but with errors (no signal, cant display the about product) So I just downloaded the PR1.2 for my variant. then flashed the phone. This is the first time the warning showed, and the phone auto shuts off. So I tried to reflash the PR1.1 of my variant, (the same, corrupted file. but I wasn't aware yet that it is corrupted) again, it failed to flash. but when I start my phone, it still boots but I know theres wrong (again, the mobile network and about product) I tried to use the flash only cmt of pr1.2 on my pr1.1 and it fixed the mobile network and about product issue. so my phone functions well on PR1.1. I tried to update to pr1.2 OTA. It was successful, I can see on my about product that I am running pr1.2. everything is okay but one thing, every time I boot my device, the same warning shows(warning, you have modified device software etc etc) for about 10 secs, before it actually boot. That is the time I tried to zeroize device. I downloaded pr1.2 for my variant on navifirm but still, same problem.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Looks like you have the same problem as me. See this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82877

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

The instructions twice say to click the boxes for the TWO files stariting with DFL61_HARMATTAN. For all of them I only see one file starting with that. Using NaviFirmEx. What am I doing wrong?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

This is an incredibly strange problem.

Are you sure the flash was 100% successful with PR1.2? It sounds like parts of the system simply aren't being flashed, period.

If you don't mind screwing up your phone again, what happens if you flash with the -v option (upload all the output)?

You didn't select "Nokia Care Suit" in the menu (re-check the directions).

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Can anyone answer my question?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Here is the verbose output. I had to clip it a bit because it was too big for the forum. Let me know if you want the full output and I'll put it on my site.

I looks like I may have screwed things when I tried to change my Product Code from Malaysia to Northern Europe when I first got the phone. None of the certs match my product revision "RM-696 rev. 059K". From a bit of googling the 059K should be a number more like 1601.

Any advice on how to find the correct revision and how to change it?

Thanks for making this great guide !

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

HELP !!!

I flashed my phone from malaysian version to european version, and I got the apparently common CMT error ???

I see the apparently easy solution of reinstalling the native firmware app. However Where do I find the native firmware at ???

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

That explains everything - your guess is right on the dot.

If you can figure out what your hardware variant code is, use whatever you tried to change your product code with to set it to xxxx00 (where xxxx is the HW variant). If you flash back to PR1.1 you might be able to figure out which HW variant your phone is using sysinfoclient -a.

This is why changing the product code is ill-advised - remember, there's no need to do so before flashing!

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Im gonna try to reflash my device. In the directions it states that i shld change the main.bin & eMMC.bin to the image names im supposed to flash to. does this mean i shld change the main.bin image name to smth like
DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin
? Thanks for all the help guys :)

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

What is your phone product code and what version of the EU firmware did you use?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Thanks, totally agree about changing the product code. The only advantage it has is enabling OTA and NSU for future updates to the new product code.

sysinfoclient -a isn't revealing anything. May have to ask a friend at Nokia for a favour but am going to look at some of the certs on the phone first.

For the english users :) just found it as a recommended link from spanish video

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

I do think this is the reason. because I did change my product code to northern europe, too, before having this issue. Using NSS. because I thought I need to change the product code before installing other variant
