[Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
So today i finally got myself a nokia n9 and i already have the/a first problem:). I noticed it had PR 1.0 installed and i wanted to upgrade it to 1.1 but couldn't do it via Nokia Software updater because it said there's no updates available.

So then i tried it with Nokia flasher, i followed all the steps from this thread and got error code 10, security failure, downgrade disallowed. Is there any way to flash it? My software version is: 10.2011.34-1.313.01_PR_313

Ty!

Hi!

Got the same problem, must be the Slovenian firmware... Been tired of waiting for an update, decided to flash. I've tried several images (from Nokia sever and from external server), always the same error. Allso tried via terminal, got error 404... Is there any way around it, or must we wait for Nokia to decide to finally roll out the update to the sunny side of alps.

Thanks, cheers

Looks like you must wait.

Yep. This is the problem:

059L689: N9 RM-696 Mobitel telekomunikacijske storitve SI 16GB Black
059L8W8: N9 RM-696 Mobitel telekomunikacijske storitve SI 16GB Cyan

I mailed Mobitel and they replied that the new version can be installed by a Nokia service guy. [novo verzijo vam lahko naloži serviser telefonov Nokia]

I think they maybe don't know what they are talking about, it's a silly solution :D

You could try this from the Change n9 product code? thread, i don't have the balls to try it yet. Please report how did it go if you do it.

Hi!

Mobitel confirmed that N9 will get the uptate in this month. So you can either flash it or wait... :)

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
I have the same issue with my N9. The version I'm trying to install is 20.2011.40-4.339.2 and the model is 059L7S2.

Which other versions can I install?

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
I've changed the Slovenian code to Balkan, but update via Nokia Software Update fails. It shows the updating progress bar for a second and the it turns off. If i try to flash it i get the error code 10.
The only firmware that it let's me flash its the one is already installed.

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
Hi, while flashing my N9, after a "apt-get autoremove" of death which left my phone bricked, I am seeing "Downgrade disallowed" but to my knowledge the versions are ok.

Basically it's a N9 coded 059L4L3, Argentina. I try to flash the firmware:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.348.1_PR_LEGACY_348_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin

obtained from navifirm (I've tried both production-external and nokia-care)

and I am getting the following error:

ERROR: Failed to flash images


From what I can tell it's the same version already in the device, DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.348.1_PR_348, could anybody help me understand why am I seeing "Downgrade disallowed", and more important how to fix it?

The same error is shown when I don't use the eMMC image. For the record I am using Linux Ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic 64 bits, and the phone isn't booting.

Thanks,
Sebastian.

Most likely you have updated your phone with SSU, and timestamp in over the air variant update is never that on full flash image, so you will always get downgrade disallowed message (this has been explained in multiple posts before), but luckly for you, you can just upgrade to pr1.2 or pr1.3 instead of pr1.1.

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
i have a cyan N9 16 GB , forgot the security code so i had to flash my phone so i zeroize the device with this command
"flasher -f -F main.bin --erase-user-data=secure
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc"

this appeared " erasing this may take a while " but when i entered second command it replied with "error code 10 security failue"
" downgrade disallowed "
product code is 059K0Z8

HELP !!
Thanks

@Danishgr8: without knowing which version+variant you were flashing and what version+variant you had on your phone, it's not easy to help you.
Post some details, please.

So are you sure that your device *currently* has also that version & variant ?
Because if you currently have *any* other variant for PR 1.3, that would explain the 'downgrade disallowed' message.
You should be able to get the current version with "flasher -i" (if that value hasn't been already overwritten with your latest attempts).

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
i checked it and my phone has 40.2012.21.3 variant and what i am trying to do is install 40.2012.21.3 varint files , and it should allow it .
i dont know if i had overwritten it as this is my first time flashing my phone .
please help i am not able to use my phone for about 23 days

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
Five cents from me:

You never want to do --flash-only=emmc command, that is just wrong, and if your following some flashing instruction that says to do that, then the instructions are just plain wrong too.

The right command to erase lockcode and flash to factory state can be done with just one command (you never need to run 2 seperate commands).

sudo flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data=secure -R

And second point
DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin is not a variant file, that is the vanilla file.

If you want better quesses about you problem, you need to copy paste the full flashing log including the flashing command.

minimos 2013-05-01 20:59

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
I borrow a sentence from rainisto's answer to point out the version and the variant numbers:

40.2012.21-3 is the firmware version. In particular this is the so-called PR1.3 release.
001 is the number of the variant. As rainisto wrote, this one (001) is the basic variant, or vanilla file, or the 'Rest-of-World' variant.
If the device previously had any different variant than 001, e.g. 009 for Central Europe, or e.g. some of the 3xx used for operator-specific variants, it is not possible to flash the device using a variant 001, because it would be considered a 'downgrade'.

find a higher variant number (just NOT Chineese version)

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
BTW, to all those who are flashing. RENAME YOUR FILES TO MAIN.BIN AND EMMC.BIN. Save yourself time! If you need to find your product code exactly, go to settings and there should be a QR code under about device. Scan it with another phone or something, and post it here. Someone will probably be able to direct you to the correct site (Don't ask me. I have no clue where to get firmwares, another user sent them to me.)

Mate, in this topic [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9 they say to do this:
Code:

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

Is those two command lines (yours and the one in code block) are doing the same thing ?

By mistake I flashed my N9 with PR1.3 480 which is for Switzerland , is there any chance to reflash it with PR1.3 006 for MEA ?My phone product code is 059M5V1 64Gb.Thanks before and i willing to pay for the services.As nokia care doesn't care anymore for meego :(

kazzie 2016-01-19 05:38

Re: [Problem]Flashing Nokia N9 - downgrade disallowed
 
You can't flash the firmware (main.bin), because 006 is less than 480. You should be able to flash the user-data EMMC with whichever region you want.

You'd still be stuck with, for example, all the 460-flavour system languages if you did this.

Is there any chance reflash cmt-mcusw back to normal?

What do you not understand? Be happy that youn not have flashed a chinese version.

If you can convince Nokia to give us a newer FW_Update (PR1.4), so you can flash a version with a lower number, even 001
