Sorry to bump again guys, but I am still trying to find a compatible firmware for my n9.

I hate to sound whiny, but I do have the warranty issue still pending with my screen fault and ATM I am stumped? I understand that I have to use a higher firmware version but can't find it

Here is the last attempt of flashing... (hopefully an eagle eyed user may spot) something?)

You would not believe how many images I have tried.
