Try flashing german fw and then try cmt flash only from fw for product code mentioned on sim tray. If that doesnt help then only use chinese as last resort.
Let me know how it goes.

I've done all that time and time again. The phone starts after a main.bin flash. It reports errors pipe 7 I think. I've no mobile network, no wifi no maps. I do have camera and bluetooth. Then I flash old_main.bin which matches the product code and the phone won't start. The product code is Chineese

I can understand as I also faced same problem and felt very helpless because it is not cheap phone.
Also downloading these huge fw files consumes lots of data.

But Can you try to download UAE fw and check? It have higher version number than german. I am suggesting this because you can at least try to get phone working in such condition that you can see wlan and bluetooth id and no longer sim error while startup.
This will allow you to use it for all functions except telephony.

I am just guessing here, but did you have developer mode on before flashing?

possibly, just like when charge the phone it automatically turns itself on(with developer mode on). my guess is that after the first part of the flashing your phone is turning on and giving you that error message? just a guess mind you, though it is logical. only way to know for sure is to switch it off (developer mode)and try again?

does your phone stay in flasher mode when you plug it in to flash?
or does it try to boot up?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

you're still aware of the general "NO DOWNGRADES" policy enforced on harmattan? Take care so you don't end with <most-recent-release>.<inuktitut-version> which happens to have the highest numeric release.version ID. You couldn't "downgrade" to *any* other version or release, I.E. you'd be locked to that version!

Oh well, I could figure worse terminal stations :-D Swiss variant probably isn't that bad for most of western users. Those depending on asian or arabic or hebrew localisation will curse though.

I heard rumors from "those who should know" that there's actually a hack to allow downgrade.

[2013-05-23 16:48:26] <Jonni> you can actually downgrade back to pr1.0 even without R&D cert, but that exploit has never leaked.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Someone can help me. I had flashed on my N9 the software
V 40.2012.21-3_PR_005.
For going to my provider Telcel to unlock my phone i flashed back with the original FW for the Productcode via Nokia Suite (reinstall FW).
It is now
V 40.2012.21-3.420.4_PR_420
The bad think is that my provider Telcel refuse to unlock the phone and even more bad, i have now a crapy FW, Doble Tip to unlock doesnt work (yes its activate in the menu) yesterday it was blocking. Restart wasnt posible. Reflash was the only solution.
Reflash back to V 40.2012.21-3_PR_005 isnt posible (you know its like an disallowed downgrade)
So how can i reflash a good working FW?

In the center of the town some guys offer me to unlock with a flasherbox.
Is it also posible to downgrade the N9 with a flasherbox?

Thanks in advance

I'd bet on those guys not having the faintest clue about N9 and probably failing epically. Or, even worse, they actually manage to flash CMT to some crappy and incompatible cmt-FW and that's been it then for your N9. Unless one of the guys can show you a unlocked N9 they managed to unlock, I'd friendly say "thanks gentlemen for your offer, but no thanks"

01:17 <Jonni> thedead1440: post says that they offer unlock, and only asks about downgrade. bruteforce unlocking is pretty simple, downgrade is not possible with flasherbox.

So you may be able to unlock the phone but not downgrade it.

Just to update, my N9 seems to working again. I am not sure if latest Nokia Link update did something.
Though still it is not perfect as it loses network reception and IMEI many times.
But something is better than nothing.

I am curious to know why this is happening, my N9 just refuses to give up :)

Reflashing Issue - Downgrade

Hello... I've read a few guides on how to reflash the N9... Unfortunately I still can't due to it being "downgraded". Problem is, I upgraded to the last firmware version just a few days ago, so maybe that's the reason...

[SOLVED] Flashing unflashable N9

Recently I had a very strange problem with my N9.

It suddenly succumbed to reboot loop that I wasn't able to fix with R&D mode.

More interesting is my experience with trying to flash it to break reboot loop:

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin

                – doesn't help to break reboot loop



flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc

                – fails with error:

        ...

        bb5_rdc_cert_read failed

        ...

        mmc: Could not exec '/sbin/dosfslabel /tmp/sudmmcXXXXXX/internal0p1 "Nokia N9"'

        mmc: Unable to remove mount point '/tmp/sudmmcXXXXXX/mnt/home': No such file or        directory

        mmc: Could not remove mount directory /tmp/sudmmcXXXXXX/mnt: No such file or directory



flasher -f -F main.bin --erase-user-data=secure

                – fails with error:

        ...

        bb5_rdc_cert_read failed

        ioctl(BLKSECDISCARD) failed for /tmp/sudmmcXXXXXX/internal0: Input/output error

Flashing with Phoenix or old beta flashers didn't help either.

At last I tried command that I didn't saw in any of the flashing manuals:

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin

And yes, it worked like a charm! N9 flashed without errors and reboot loop was fixed!

I don't know why all manuals suggest flashing firmware and emmc in different steps but only flashing them in one step solves errors above and breaks reboot loop.

N.B.: My reboot loop wasn't caused by tweaks. Just one night my N9 turned off due to empty battery (though I remember that it was almost full in the evening) and when I tried to turn it on the following morning (after charging it to maximum) N9 stucked in endless reboot lopp. My assumption is that internal eMMC was damaged somehow. Maybe because some program didn't close properly in the evening, drained all the battery during the night and corrupted eMMC when N9 turned itself off due to empty battery.

Nope. It's a different command - it uses "--erase-user-data" flag. And fails.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Hi all, my N9 (I live in Middle East (Saudi Arabia), Nokia N9, 16GB, Cyan) just got switched off and not booting again. It shows the NOKIA logo and again switches off. Though I am new to flashing but I am trying to flash my N9 so that I can keep using this device as my main phone. Problem I am facing now is from the links given in this thread in the first page to download the firmware for N9 are working and the download (around 2GB) is also starting, but after sometime, it gets stuck up and gives the error as "This download has been interrupted", when I am not even touching my computer. And when I press the resume button, the download starts all over again from the start and again after some download it gives the same error and stops. I really like my N9 and would love to continue using it. Please help.

Anyways, when I unzip the image file which is around 2GB, i get many files in it. I understood that we need only two (2) files starting with DFL61_HARMATTAN. Now where should I keep this to get the flasher to identify these files are supposed to be used for flashing? An urgent reply will be really helpful.
