^ Putting these images on MEGA and similar uploaders is helpful, but not in the long run. They tend to disappear. If you really want to preserve them, they have to go up on archive.org.

(Or, if you're 100% sure your server will still be up in 10 years, you can upload them there too.)

A question, I have the chance to buy a locked N9, it's not chinese. To flash I must unlock? or I can flash asap?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

You would need to "Zeroize device" as here but expect process to take a long time:

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

so, it's not for newbies? It's this?

eroize device (destroys user data)

The following commands will securely erase your phone such that no data can be recovered later, then restore the operating system and provided content.

Warning: The secure erase feature has not been audited by a 3rd party. Do not rely on it to protect all traces of highly sensitive information from a well-funded attacker. The first part will take a very long time - let it run overnight.

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin --erase-user-data=secure
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc

The code must be written in that way? In main bin and emmc bin have to change something? Once made the zeroize I have to reflash the firmware? which firmware must reflash?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

If this pre-owned N9 has not been re-housed and has original SIM card holder the product code (seven character alphanumeric) will be on label on underside. Trouble is that as Nokia's servers long since dead, compromises have to be made on flashing firmware bearing in mind that downgrading firmware is not allowed.

Whilst I posted this "Sticky" three years ago, it is not worth my while updating to 2021 as spare batteries and screws for disassembly much harder to source. Unfortunately flash memory chip is increasingly failing and battery discharges by itself if device left unused, requiring Harmattan flasher to re-charge it sufficiently to boot:

Whilst I don't recognise PR1.2(30.2012.07-1.367.01.1_PR_367) if I had to guess might be Telcel Mexico. However it will be easy to utilise any PR1.3 firmware as will be an upgrade.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Do not use any firmware but use the PR1.3 global one 001!

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Well, again with chance to buy. A locked by carrier N9 seems to be the only option here in Argentina. What is the thing now? Basically the company have a page to unlock phones through IMEI. I get it, and have the unlock code (20 digits). The company says in the web that you only have to put another SIM and write the code and you're done. It's a no go? A risk? Go for it?

Which version must flash later?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Your N9 currently running DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.450.02.2_PR_LEGACY_450_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin which used to be available from https://n9.silma.nl although currently offline for a while now.

Is this branded Claro, Telecom Argentina or Movistar as it may be very difficult unfortunately to find a firmware version which is not disallowed as a "downgrade", as some of these carrier firmware were the last released ones?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Hey guys,

Sorry for being offline for some time. I moved half a year ago, hence had to change ISP, hence had to change home infra, where all the firmware images were stored.

I will try to reupload everything back. As a temporary solution you can use this MEGA link: https://mega.nz/folder/hjBQXJqR#nRDkr_CEppFDnhFH93RtJQ (there is every variant except 299, not enough free space for it :D )

peace

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

So...it's better to not go for it because I won't be capable to flash firmware and go to developer mode?

I don't know if it's the last version. There are two on possibility of buying, both from.Movistar. Seems that in Argentina all N9 were commercial on carrier lock...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Uncharted territory as far as I am concerned, although I can say recently flashed device with DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.420.4_PR_420 (Telcel Mexico - default language = Spanish) with no such issues installing developer mode.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Ok, so it's a good luck. First I must unlock the device right?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Do you have eMMC though? I am collecting the firmwares, so far I've got 45 files (N9/50 firmwares and eMMCs), but still miss a lot :)

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Unfortunately not as lost a lot when Sandisk Ultra II SSD backup failed as they do. Do you happen to have DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13.7.NOMAPS_EMMC_NOMAPS (about 250Mb in size) as need to reflash an old N9?
