nokia n9 wont flash
 

Hi everyone

i recently bought a used n9 on ebay for 50€. I got it so cheap because it was sold as not working.

the discription said:

• camera doesnt work
• no connection to computer (sync doesnt work)
• internet disconnects often
• bad reception when calling (caller barely hears me)

now i wanted to fix the camera first. I alerady tried some fixes from http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91655.

I restored the n9 to factory settings and so on.
Now my next step would be to flash the phone.

However when I try flashing my phone, the flasher cant detect it.
When im supposed to connect the phone, the phone simply starts instead of "syncing". The flasher cant find my phone and wont do anything.

currently installed is 40.2012.21-3_PR_006, so thats the version for middle east, i now want to install the european image.

so how can i flash my phone when it cant be detected?

thansk in advance

hmm, and the description says 'wont sync'
I guess it had a USB port issue?

i can charge it though. this is why i thought that it must be software related somehow

Re: nokia n9 wont flash
 

Try adding the -c flag for a cold flash which should flash the phone even if it powers on...

still wont detect the phone in flasher

Might be the brother of my phone. I cant flash at all, never have been able to.

Re: nokia n9 wont flash
 

type flasher -i
Turn off the phone
plug in the phone
do not touch anything
If all goes well it should boot into dev mode. Wait for windows to install the correct drivers for dev mode.

can you at least sync it with a computer?

did that, n9 turns on, shows nokia for a few seconds, and then shows the battery icon for charging.
Also i have a second n9 which syncs well, so i guess i have all the windows drivers
