My phone is the black 64gb malaysian phone- 059j238 and I tried to flash it with 30.2012.7.1

I had just received the 1.2 update on it last week too. Only reason I was trying to do the flash was because I was trying to get facebook and twitter on my notifications screen :(

thank you for any help you can offer.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

N9: Diffrence between flashing with firmware vs restore factory settings?

Hey guys!! Please - I need some help.

What is the difference in the effect of
restoring factory settings vs flashing the device with firmware?

My n9 (already updatet to pr1.2 OTA) is running kinda slow and having a few bugs,
that aparently isnt "normal" bugs.
(for instance I cant:
update facebook/twitter status under availibility
get my google acount for gtalk to work in acounts)

Furthermore I can read in several forums that it's better
to update your device via flash/firmware
instead of OTA or NSU... how can that be?

But I hope that "clearing" the device will help
radically with the speed issue +hopefully repair some of the bugs..

Hope you can help me.

I miss my good old smooth working and fast N9 !!

Thanks in advance!

BTW...Great instructions!!! Maybe I should try this flashing thing.. not THAT big of a computer-geek thoug :-)

Thanks! Work great!

Thanks for the instructions again itsnotabigtruck!

I was able to flash my branded N9 (Personal Argentina) with neutral (LTA) firmware. The process was very striaghtforward and simple.

Now I have WiFi Spot, Skype, and "vanilla start up screen" among others things.

Just for the record, I download de main.bin form Production External and the emmc.bin from Nokia Care Suit. It just works ok.

Cheers and happy flashing.

It shouldn't matter, in any case - the files are the same between the two, the difference is how many files are available.

I'm trying to flash on Windows 7, I installed the flasher and I set the path. When I ran flasher -i command I get the error "'flasher' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Did anyone else run into this problem?

You must first run cmd.exe with administrative privileges. Just type cmd.exe at the Start menu, right-click and select Run as Administrator (or whatever it's called). Then

Code:

cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher

(the path to your installation folder, could be different)

Code:

flasher.exe <options>

If you're not sure, just pick 059J1Z5, which is a totally generic region 001 image and eMMC.

So if you really want vietman firmware, you need to wait for possible next pr vanilla release and only flash on top of that one. You will always fail from sweden to vietnam in PR1.2.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

I've got to ask this question.
My N9 is locked to operator let's call it "A". As far as I know it's not branded, but to be honest, I don't have access to miscrosim from operator "A" to check it (no signs of operator "A" when powered without any SIM).
I bought unlock code, but I'm unable to enter it (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83172).
I want to use it with SIM from operator "B". I've checked, phone powers off immediately with SIM "B" inserted.
Will any type of flashing ("comprehensive reset" or "zeroize device") remove lock to operator "A". I'm asking this because image bin files are accompanied by strange files called "simlock*.bin".

And also this guide is amazing. All crucial info about flashing in one elegant place :)

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin

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

@itsnotabigtruck: Thanks for the detailed guide.

I'm intending to do a comprehensive reset as my twitter notifications aren't working. I've read that a "clear device" resolves the issue but since I'm going back to factory I might as well do it properly since I'm also experiencing some lag. I previously updated to PR1.2 through NSU (Does this do the same thing?)

In your commands above what is the purpose of the first line? From my understanding the second line accomplishes the comprehensive reset and the first line is just flashing the rootFS. If I am flashing the rootFS and the emmc in the second line the first line seems a bit pointless. Unless I am missing something and there is a benefit?

In second line first image is used to tell the flasher how to flash specific device (?) and only flash /home directory (flash-only=mmc parameter).
I can be wrong.

OR just...

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

I've checked the usage and understand the "-f", "-F" and "--flash-only=mmc" parameters its just the first line in that throws me. I'm unfamiliar with Nokia flasher so I'd rather ask before going ahead with it. I've got some time before I try as NaviFirm is taking forever to download the files...

@Nosph3ratu
You can combine commands in flasher.
In your case you can forget about flash-only parameter in combined command, so it should be like:

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

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Yeah I've seen that post as its just after the guide, that makes more sense to me.

I just wanted to find out if there's a reason why @itsnotabigtruck added the first line or was it just a typo?

Either way I'll give it a shot once NaviFirm completes the download and doesnt get stuck again :rolleyes:

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

i've updated my n9 to 1.2 through OTA. After reboot it gave me the warranty error again. I pressed volume keys a few times and it passed the screen. Gave an another error, i said okey. After that phone booted and running without problem. Phone got all 1.2 features but it says on about section its version is 20.20... like 1.1 . When ever i reboot the phone it gives warranty error. How do i fix this.

I flashed the phone many times before it came by OTA. Because of the warranty error i flashed back to 1.1 getting cmt from 1.2 .

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Hi,
I am reflashing an N9 with the same firmware version (Singapore 005) due to a 'boot loop' problem. :o

I get the Flasher to recognise the device; but when I try to start the flash I get "Error: Unknown argument" and a list of flasher options.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or the cause of the error?

Many thanks!

Heck, I didn't put the double quotes around the filename! :eek: I had a marathon 6 hours playing around, because I initially downloaded the incorrect firmware version; there were two identical file names, both for the right variant Singapore 005 - but I found out that the first was infact European. In all the frustration, I guessed that maybe the "quotes" were not required. Many thanks for the tip!! I will try again tomorrow and see how it goes. :)

I'm a native New Zealander working and living in China, where I bought my N9...

Love the phone but feed up with the region lock to China when going to the apps store or anything related.

Will changing the code from China's to Aus/Nz help with this matter in any way.

Tried contact nokia support via e-mail... but simply got the typical '"can not" when enquiring how I can access Apps in English.

Don't change the product code - just flash it with 005 (Asia-Pacific) firmware and see if it works. This will get rid of QQ/etc. and add Twitter/Facebook/Dropbox, also.

After having read the Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide several times, I have to say thank you very much to "itsnotabigtruck". Although, I've tried the the basic flash. I've recently posted about resetting the terminal password. Would flashing "Zeroize" help me in resetting everything on the device so that I can change my password as well? Sorry for the repeat in post.
