I can't flash?
 

Guys, I can't flash...? :confused:

I've downloaded winflasher, correct version (3.12.1). I have a win7 system (64).
So, I take the latest update for my N9 (40) from NaviFirm and I've put the files in the Flasher folder, in Programs.

Then I open the flasher and try to insert the string:

flasher-F-DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21 3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin-F-DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13 7.ITALY_EMMC_ITALY.bin-f-R


..... and nothing happens.


Or rather, I can read things like: "ERROR: Unknown argument specified!" or "-F is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable or batch file."

Is there something wrong with the string?
I had to place the downloaded file somewhere else?
What I've done of wrong?

(Sorry for my bad english, I'm italian!)

Give me a hint please.
Thanks

Look at what you are typing:

You have spacings at the wrong place and none at the right places...

You need it to be:
I would want to fit it to your file names but then your file names have spaces which is incorrect so check them again...

To avoid confusion i would just suggest to you that the first file you rename it to rootfs.bin and the second one to emmc.bin...

Re: I can't flash?
 

Umh, I don't know why when I put the code here the spaces are gone, I try to re-put it:

flasher -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.ITALY_EMMC_ITALY.bin -f –R

Now it seems that has placed well .. the error wasn't only in the spaces, right?
The code you put, have a "-f" at the start and not at the end.. maybe is that my error?

Re: I can't flash?
 

Having -f at the beginning or end doesn't make a difference...

Did you open cmd as admin? Then did you type cd "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher" or to whatever path flasher is installed to?

Post the cmd output of what you typed and what you got if it still doesn't work...

Re: I can't flash?
 

I've tried:

1 - Open flasher (not admin) and put:

Result -> ERROR: Unknown argument specified

Result -> "-F is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable or batch file."

-----------

2 - Open flasher (admin) and put:

Result -> ERROR: Unknown argument specified

Result -> "-F is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable or batch file."


----------------------------------------------------

3 - Open cmd (admin) and put:

Result -> "C:\Program is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable or batch file."


Result -> "Impossible to find the specified path."



.... so.. where I'm wrong? :confused:

Re: I can't flash?
 

first you need to learn how to use cmd admin command line. Use google to see how to use commandline prompt.

In short you first need to cd into right path and then run the flasher command:

cd "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher"

flasher.exe -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.ITALY_EMMC_ITALY.bin -f -R

if your not able to follow that instructions, then take the device to nokia care, or to your friends who has any clue how to use computers.

Here is the result of the procedure you suggested:

Nice the last phrase with the mention of to the fact that I can't use a PC. I think that knowing how to use a computer and have difficulty to flash a device because the cmd does not respond, are slightly different.
However, all the tests I've done have been recommended by friends and by users of other forums.
Personally, I have used the cmd only two times in my life (one of them to flash N9, and this time it worked), and then I don't know "everithing" about how it works. For me, a suggestion as any. I can't recognize the bad ones.

Thanks for the effort, I had already tried :)

Re: I can't flash?
 

How about: flasher -F DFL61_HAR...
Not: flasher.exe -F DFL61_HAR...

Re: I can't flash?
 

Already tried MK99..

Result -> ERROR: Unknown argument specified

:(

Re: I can't flash?
 

of course if you just copypaste you get unknown arguments, since there is nonvalid '-'-letter in there :), you have to manually write that minus in there :).

Now I edited my origin post to have valid minus character in the commandline.
