Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Chocolate is good too, but in this case I'd prefer vanilla ;) So, there won't be any issues flashing such a country version firmware to vanilla?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

can you tell me which one you chose?
was it from navifirm?:confused:

im still trying to decide?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Navifirm it's slow to download. It's insane.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

so you did use navifirm?

which firmware did you get?:confused:

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Balkan, N9 64GB black 40.2012.21.3

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

after flashing i added all my music, then i opened the music app and it says library updating and it doesnt stop.

i added something it didnt like huh?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

worked for me.
using vanilla n9 now.
:D

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

thanks bro, i was able to notice it just now, sorry for the late reply, im downloading 009 variant as of the moment and im gonna flash it later, hope it works :)

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

why restrict yourself by using 009 firmware...just use 006 firmware and you are good to go...that is unless 009 firmware is especially for your locale and you want that locality adaption...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Is the flasher Open-Source? I want to edit some it and then re-compile it!

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

any guy have an idea i will appreciate if you send me via mail if possible at hasnarok@gmail.com
thanks in advance

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

well two things:

either your fw file is corrupted hence you need to re-download it


if not the most probable thing that is wrong here is have you enable logging on your device? can you tell me if you plug in your phone as mass storage to your pc does it get detected? It looks like since your mmc partition is not being able to be mounted your flash is failing...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

also can you do a flasher -i

and post the output here it'll give some further information...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

hi thedead1440 thanks bro now my n9 cant go beyond nokia logo and spanner logo at the screen and here is my flasher -i

Edit: you mentioned about the spanner logo did you enable rd mode on the n9 using cmd? if yes disable it please...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

thanks yeah i enabled rd mode and am i using pr1.0 on navifirm which firmware can i download

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

disable rd mode before flashing too...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

there are cases of carrier branded firmware not being able to be flashed to a higher pr legacy...

There are two components for allowing a successful flash; a same/higher PR LEGACY and the timestap of the firmware...

In your case it could be that althought the image you want to flash has a higher PR LEGACY it is a newer image meaning its timestap is later than that of the image you want to flash...

Hence, the higher pr legacy image you are trying to use can't be flashed on your device...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

So,you mean that I need image with timestamp earlier than current firmware? How can I check that? I tried with its original firmware which,released earlier but I failed again..

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

u need with a later timestamp not earlier...

try with different images...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Does anyone know of any flashing services? Or would any local NYC N9ers be willing to help me flash for a fee? I'm not tech saavy and don't want to end up bricking this thing....

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Arie or AndyNokia232 from everythingn9.com should be consulted...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Is any way to DOWNGRADE the firmware??? Even using open-kernel????:(

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

nope no way to downgrade...

Well you can contact itsnotabigtruck on whether he can help with this matter...

my guess would be to use Sparsify or unlzo but its best to ask INABT on this matter...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

You could always send me your phone and I'll flash it and send it back :)

A couple of people have already used this service... :cool:
