Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

This means that your Linux found the N9 correctly and pushed the kernel to the device. However I see no usb partition exports, which is a bit strange.

You did let the USB cable stay in place after pushing the kernel in, not disconnecting?

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Yes, the green lettering is important, it will tell you if the partition exporting and IP initialization has gone OK.
If all went well it should say something like this:

Welcome to N9 Ubiboot ver. 0.3.6
(Boot loader is based on MOSLO ver. 0.0.13.1)
Partitons exported successifully via USB
Configured 192.168.0.15 on USB
Starting DHCP server, offering 192.168.0.100
Starting TELNET server

Now, check that the green text is pretty much like this on the device.
If, instead of Partitons exported successifully via USB it says something like Unable to load the USB modules! or similar, then that is the reason you did not see the export.

Also, if it says the bits about IP address, DHCP and telnet, then you can try to telnet into the device and do the fix that way;
just check that you can get in, open a new console and give command "telnet 192.168.0.15"
If the command succeeds, you have logged into the device and can fix the malf from inside.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Yup left cable in.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Allright, could you try the ubiboot kernel again, and check what the green text say on the device?

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Yup it says exactly

Welcome to N9 Ubiboot ver. 0.3.6
(Boot loader is based on MOSLO ver. 0.0.13.1)
Partitons exported successifully via USB
Configured 192.168.0.15 on USB
Starting DHCP server, offering 192.168.0.100
Starting TELNET server

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Okay, then the N9 end of the things goes OK, and the problem is in the PC end of things.
You are'nt by any chance running a virtual instance of Linux? In that case you need to give the virtual machine access to your USB port for mounting the N9 volumes...

Anyway, what you can do now is fix the things from a maintanance console.

• open a telnet connection to your N9; "telnet 192.168.0.15"
• mount your rootfs to the device; "mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/2"
• check that you have /var/malf there; "ls -l /mnt/2/var/malf"
• if you do, remove it; "rm /mnt/2/var/malf"
• sync the filesystems; "sync"
• umount your root partition; "umount /mnt/2"
• log off the device "exit"

After that you can remove the USB cable and power off your device.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Important notice here are the lines in red, these indicates that the device registered correctly and Networking should be working,
But, The line in green indicates that the USB disconnected again.

I would check the cable (assuming USB connectors on PC is working) Did you use original Nokia Cable ?

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Okay, no USB IP interface there at all.
Are you running a virtual installation? If so, you need to enable USB access in the virtual machine.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Yeah i'm running Ubuntu through USB

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

I am sorry I don't understand... unless you mean you have it installed on an USB memory stick, where you boot it from?

In that case it should be OK. I was wondering if you have a windows, and you are running linux on a virtual machine on top of the windows installation.

This does sound a bit strange; You are able to reach your N9 with flasher via USB port, so why does the booting N9 device not register on the USB bus when it should?

Can you check what "lsusb" command shows on the bus after you have the green text on the device?

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Its been made bootable from USB, i'm using the 'try ubuntu'

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Yes, that should be OK as I said in the previous message :)

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

No N9 seen there at all, hmm.
I'll have to check what it should look like, but my guess would be that there should be a line saying something about "ID 0421:xxxx Nokia Mobile Phones" or something...

Now, have you checked with different USB cables BTW? Also with different USB port. Sometimes a faulty cable can cause really strange things to happen...

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Okay i used different cable am now connected.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

USB drives are showing up now though this is what i get if i search MALF
http://i60.tinypic.com/jiyq9y.png

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Okay, looks like it is not the traditional MALF flag set, then.
Could be some other problem, most probably solvable by flashing the device.

Now that you can get the filesystem exports, you can back up your device to your computer and flash it clean.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

I managed to fix my phone by re-flashing, thanks for your assistance and while i was at it i learnt a little bit about using the linux terminal, thanks! :)

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help, I am having the same issue, after having the n9 broken screen/touch replaced (phone sit in a drawer for 7 months)of course, battery dead, I charged the n9 to 10% via flasher, stopped that process, and kept charging in it the laptop for an hour more, and then reflashed to stock kernel, phone worked great for 24hs, and then the batter drained fast, and Its dead again, wont charge, or even start the cahrging process via flasher now, it stays at:
Suitable USB interface (bootloader/phonet) not found, waiting...

tried more than 50 times to charge it with the flasher, with Linux , and windows, on 2 diff PCs , 3 diff original cables still will not start the flashing process...I only see the led blinking briefly and I got the malf message for too frequent reboot 3 times...

any ideas ?

my dmesg shows this when plugging the phone to see if the flasher charges it:

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Think that I would have wanted to physically change the battery by now. What kernel were you using before as refer to "stock kernel" now and did you zeroise device before re-flashing?

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Before I was using the kernel that allows inception to be installed.

After screen replace I flashed the normal image with -f -F option and wiped all my data as well to start from scratch and use the new aegis hack from coderus.

I will try to replace the battery, as it seems to be the only option left...
:(

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

sudo launches command with escalated priviliges, username(or command) must be mentioned in sudoers file(directly, or indirectly via group)

dpkg is debian package manager

dpkg -i archive.deb (if you are root)
sudo dpkg -i archive.deb (if you are normal user under ubuntu)

maybe you got 32bit system, paste output of 'uname -a' and 'file *.deb', because for some reason dpkg doesnt recognize this.archive(maybe try to redownload it)

Sorry to post this question here but I am not sure where it would be the best place for it.

Trying to re-flash my 059L7G7 Nokia N9 but I cannot find the right firmware. I remember to have downloaded it from a mirror somewhere about a year ago but now I am a bit at a loss. Must have either deleted the firmware from HDD or hidden it so well that I can't find it ;-)

Anyone, please? :-)

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?

Try this resource:https://silma.tk/soft/ as link still seems valid.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Many thanks, mate! I'm downloading the firmware at the moment and will let you know if it works later.

To be honest, I have found the resource earlier and downloaded a few firmware images based on my intuition but none of them has worked ;-) Seems my intuition (and memory) is failing a bit...

Thanks for pointing me out in the right direction!

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Right! Many thanks, again for the valuable and prompt information, aspergerguy!

All is fine with the flashing and I will now proceed doing the usual stuff such as warehouse adding, etc.

By the way, what do you do to let your N9 conserve the energy whilst using GPS maps? I have found that nothing really has worked for me and had to get an external battery pack as means of support!

All the best and thank you once again!

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Have been known to use external Bluetooth receiver such as Nokia LD-3W whilst in the car. Incidentally which positioning server have you been using sup.nokia.com or sup.google.com? These can be reconfigured within QTweak.

Re: Nokia N9 help? MALF indicator file?
 

Many thanks for the pointers, especially about the external receiver, yet I can't find any, either new or second hand, online at the moment.

I have already changed the positioning server but thank you for reminding me, as well!
