"flasher -f -F main.bin -F eMMC.bin" does rewrite partitions.
Above wipes user data (only).

Or am I plain stupid/old/Alzheimer'ish??

I tried this too but same error..

if you are still stuck after trying variations of the flasher command, may i suggest downloading a gnu/linux image {say, linux mint with cinnamon}, burning it onto a thumbdrive, temporarily booting into it, and then just using parted from mint?

I tried every single command but nothing.. I'll download it but is there any tutorial or something that could help me because I've never used linux

Weelll, could be it is me who is alzhaimeric here now, but AFAIR "-F emmc.bin -F firmware.bin" does not repartition, it writes the images to existing partitions. Only adding "--erase-user-data=secure" repartitions it...

At least adding "--cold-flash" to the rest of the arguments should repartition it, hmm?

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

Argh...

Now I remember. Yes it is me.

emmc flashing writes to existing partitions. It does not repartition.
Only if you modified partition layout (as I did) it will ask you to add --no-preserve and then repartition.

So -erase-user-data was the one to use.
Adding -c (cold flash) should do it too. And especially here...

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

really tried everything but still no luck.. downloading linux mint cinnamon live, it's on 80%

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

just do
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --no-preserve. -r

it will create partitions as was originally
have done this a zillion times when reflashing my N9 which I repartition to get more space for apps (i usually repartition from 2 gig to 10 gig on my N9)

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

i've downloaded linux and now when I plug my n9 for about 2 secs there is the nokia logo and usb symbol and then the warning message again and linux doesnt detect it

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

what is the zimage file? kernel? where can I find the one I need?

Re: Nokia n9 stuck on warning! you have modified the device software...

mmh. Pretty strange that. It is possible that your device's flash is broken.
Or you could have corrupted images. (more likely I think)
At least there's no "downgrade disallowed" message so your images are probably the correct version.

What you could do, is to download ubiboot kernel, and try to boot with that to maintanance mode. Then you'd find out if your flash is OK and partitionable.

download http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot...3.5_301013.tar
extract the file zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013
use flasher to jumpstart that on your device: "sudo flasher -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 -l -b"
connect USB cable to powered-off N9
Wait for the filesystem to export to Linux

You do need linux with that, windows is pretty much useless.
