maemo.org - Talk - Just hard reset my N9 - what to do now without OVI store?

I just reset my own N9 two days ago - how's that for timing? I made myself a guide for getting everything working again. It's not very comprehensive because I made it for my personal use, but perhaps it will help you:

GUIDE TO RESETTING THE N9 POST 2016
This guide should be all you need. In case not, refer to this tutorial: https://wiki.maemo.org/Resurrect_your_N9

Step 1: Flash
Just to be safe, flash the phone. Resetting is less comprehensive. Flashing guide is here:
https://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing_N9
The necessary firmware file is on mom's computer, located at c:/Program Files/Nokia/Flasher. The flashing guide calls for an eMMC image - you don't need this

Step 2: RepoMirror, developer mode
Nokia repositories necessary to install developer mode no longer exist. They must be replaced with Ancelad's repo mirror, available here:
https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror
Don't forget to enable installations from unknown sources first (Settings - Applications - Installations)
Developer mode may fail to install even with Ancelad's repos. In case of failure, install this:
https://openrepos.net/content/basil/...veloper-policy
One you have installed the repo mirror, go to Settings - Security - Developer mode and activate this

Step 3: Sudo-open mode
Very simple, download and install Coderus's Aegis-hack app from this link and you're done:

Step 4: Bypass Nokia account sign in
To use Maps and Drive, you need to bypass the Nokia account sign in screen. Refer to this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...+NOKIA+ACCOUNT
Copy the code to a text file, rename it Drive.ini, rename the existing file to something else, and copy the new Drive.ini file to the folder

Step 5: Extras: Overlock, emojifix, etc
Overclock: All requirements should be met already, simply follow instructions to install in this thread:

Emojifix: Without this hack, texts including emoji will not show up on the N9. Refer to this thread/post for fix

You can skip step one. You'll need to open that link to Ancelad's RepoMirror on your N9 and download it from the browser. Until you can install a file manager app, there's no way to install the file except through the built in Transfers system - hence downloading on the N9.

Step 4 can be skipped entirely by simply installing this hack as you would any app: https://openrepos.net/content/hamedr...-drive-enabler

Also, rather than digging through that store archive, just use OpenRepos.net to get your apps. Install this app on your phone, it's your store replacement ;) https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse

And lastly, follow these steps in the order they're written. You might encounter errors if you don't. If you have any questions, I'll try my best to answer them.
