No, you use the command line to execute flasher... ;)

simply put you open a cmd (with admin rights!) and navigate to the flasher.exe

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Okay download is complete for the firmware. Do guide! I have no idea what you just said up there...

mcbook 2013-07-24 16:11

^^

so, you installed winflasher right?
Now you need to copy the firmware.bin file to where the flasher.exe is

thats usually under C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher

now you need a CMD promt with admin permissions!

press start and type cmd in the search bar -> right click on cmd.exe and run as administrator

then navigate to the flasher folder (where the flasher.exe and your firmware image are)

to do that type in cmd

EDIT

Code:

cd "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher"
to make things simpler rename the firmware image to main.bin

now you are ready to flash your device

shut down your N9 (if it's not already off) and

type this to flash the firmware

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin
NOW you need to connect your n9 via USB and it should start flashing the firmware
you can monitor progress in cmd window

if it writes something like "success" or "flashing successful"
or something

type
Code:

flasher -R
and disconnect usb

there it is! good luck

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
The firmware file is in VLC media file (bin.) format. Is that correct? Like I said when I opend the file its a video for glee or it doesn't matter I just need to copy it to where the flasher folder is...

mcbook 2013-07-24 16:24

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
there is no such thing as a VLC media file .bin

if you see a vlc icon on the file it only means the .bin files are associated with vlc

doesn't necessarily mean it's a video file!

dishevelled 2013-07-24 16:26

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Oh! I'll just copy the vlc icon it to the flasher folder / flasher exe. located at C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher yeah?

dishevelled 2013-07-24 16:35

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Done and copied the vlc icon to the flasher exe. And command cd "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher" in the cmd..nothing happened..

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
should I continue...flash.

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Got a FIASCO ERROR after typing in flasher -f -F main.bin

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Do I need to copy the main.bin file to replace the firmware image like the video...http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/109/eqjq.png/

I find the video so much more relatable :)

Its in russian but you can use it:

After done whats said in image then go to: C:program files/nokia/flasher/

and do: flasher -R

mcbook 2013-07-24 19:33

Is your main.bin in the same folder as flasher.exe?

type "dir" to get a list of files and folders for the current directory...

dishevelled 2013-07-25 03:32

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
@mikosssss, in the cmd I type flasher -R? When I try flasher -i it actually responds with waiting...USB not found (should I plug my phone here?)

@mcbook type dir into where? I copied the main.bin to the flasher folder located at C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher

mcbook 2013-07-25 06:20

Into CMD... (the command prompt)

from your screenshot i can see that you have executed flasher but it couldn't find the firmware image which means that you spelled it wrong or it isn't in the right folder...

mcbook 2013-07-25 06:22

To clarify flasher commands:

flasher -R makes your N9 reboot
flasher -i gives you information about your phone when you connect your N9

I STRONGLY suggest that you read the firmware flashing guide!
It has all the information you need...

This is where I put the main.bin file in under
C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher

Is it correct?

mcbook 2013-07-25 07:59

Yes this is the right place

now just open a cmd with admin permissions, navigate to the flasher folder and execute flasher with the proper flags and path to main.bin -> connect your N9 when it says waiting and flash your

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Before that i should charge my phone right, now.

Right after this, what should I do, which code should i type. I want to be sure after i connect my phone. Where/which file can i find my contacts/photos, in my phone after flashing or a file in the computer?

Mikkosssss 2013-07-25 16:05

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Then do flasher -R on cmd and your phone should boot and contacts and messages are in contacts and messaging applications.

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
You might have to reconnect it.

But if that is your biggest worry all went fine. :p

And it only took 72 post in this thread to get it working. :D

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
HAHA...I never imagined this, but i finally did some right to the Nokia service people. After talking to the headquarters lady on the phone, her name was Karen, she apologised for not being able to fix my phone and kept insisting that there is no such thing as 'flashing'.

HAH.
Reconnect it?? :D

dishevelled 2013-07-25 17:57

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
I DID IT. I just called someone and the network is back :'))))))

BTW, is there a way to sync my notes? :)

Mikkosssss 2013-07-25 18:08

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
I think nokia pc suite can do that but only in nokia phones.
Not sure if it works to windows phone or android.

Edit: Found this http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81312

Edit2: Did I understant right that you need to move your notes some where. If you lost em you cant get em back.

dishevelled 2013-07-25 18:35

Re: Help: Reboot nokia n9
 
Yep i need the notes some where. Its intact :-)
