@itsnotabigtruck

Thanks so much for the guide. Worked well. Was able to flash and then do the OTA to 1.2.

If you are using Linux you don't need to use NaviFirmEx in wine to download the Firmware, you can use this Perl Firmware downloader script in the following thread.

It's probably because you aren't running it as root. It looks like OS X does include sudo - did you try using it?

Yep - I didn't mention it in the post because it isn't able to download eMMC images like NaviFirmEx can. However, I'll bug admiral0 about adding that and include it.

Also, @mods: Thanks for stickying this!

as i said before, dont know how to use it, missing the command 4 it.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

i did..... sudo -i, then pass...... then flasher -f -F image.bin -R
connect phone being OFF, nothing
power on while connected.
i hear a "TICK" and a menu shows up saying "not enough power in usb to charge"... then... "enter usb charge mode"........
i really, really, really, really, dont get it.

i used to flash my 5230 several times, i cannot make this to read up my device, neither i use win or mac.

i am frustrated as ive been 4 hours trying. im done.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Don't give up! You're almost there, you just need to charge up your N9 further before it will let you flash. Make sure to use the charger that came with the N9 to ensure that it gets enough power (not every wall charger or USB port will do).

Once it's charged past 50% or so, power it back off and get ready to flash.

You usually can't go wrong with 001 - but if you want to stick with the firmware intended for the Middle East use 006 instead.

its charged 80%...... it's been like that all the afternoon. i even let it charge like 3 hours, its 100% now.
