Well presumably you are flashing with the same firmware that was on there originally, so it could still be firmware, I still think we cannot be sure either way yet.

Also, I suspect that even when flashing the device, some files or settings etc are still being left on the device (only in some specific directories) from the previous installation. This doesn't help when trying to 'clean the slate' as we do not know what files are hanging around from before, potentially causing issues.

I'm leaning towards returning my device at the moment.
I agree that we don't know cause. However, for some reason I am suspicious of the firmware filename using the words legacy and oem1, (DFL61_HARMATTAN_10.2011.34-1_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin) and also I am sure there are other firmwares with minor build variations represented by the differing last three digits, but I could be wrong there.

(The per-region firmware situation from Nokia is completely inexplicable to me.)

Thanks
