Hello everyone! Greetings from Argentina! Glad to be on this nice forum I hope you can give me a little help on this. I recently bought my first high-end phone ever, and it's a N9.

Well, i dont know if you know the fact that here in ARG the NFC feature of the N9 is DISABLED by default, and cannot be activated. The users manual says its due to "regulatory restrictions existing in this country", and the setting menu for this feature is missing.
I also have another issue, the phone is currently running software version 34-1, on product code 059L889 (AR Telecom-Personal Cyan 16Gb), and there is no update listed in NaviFirm for this product code in the 40-4 or 44-2 version. So im not sure if i can update it at all.

So the question is, what would happen if i flash the device with another country's software and product code, lets say for the same colour and memory? Would it unlock the NFC and succesfully update it to 40-4? If that is the case, wich one would you recommend me? Im a little bit scared, i dont wanna ruin it and void the warranty...

Any help would be super, i'm kind of a noob on this platform .

Have a nice New Year! Cheers!
