Update time:

Well it has taken me a whole week to flash my n9 and had some success last night. I finally found an MEA image that was able to make the n9 wake up but the relating emmc would not work for some reason? So far the handset does boot up ok and is useable but will not recognise the mass storage so the camera and any other functions that depend on the emmc will not work.

As a good sign so far, in a whole days use I have yet to encounter the erratic screen problem. Only time will tell I suppose, and it has not lasted this long without a glitch before.

But still I have an issue zeroizing my phone. My model is: RM-696 NDT SINGAPORE BLACK 64GB 059J239

The software Version stated when I run flasher -i is: 'sw-release': DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_006

However there is no 30.2012.07-1_PR_006 for my device origin that I can see and other firmwares keep giving me the downgrade error. For me to even start enquiring about returning this, it will need to be succesfully flashed.

If anyone can give me some advice, I would be very grateful to for a reply.

Thank you
