I cant really say if the phone does boot OK or not, because every time I have tried to flash at the end it says:

"Timeout while waiting for the HWBREAK
Could not reboot into cold bootmode
[Pipe 6] Finishing in error state with status 1"

Maybe this is booting problem, I dont know.
Ive connected the phone to the flash and the version of the "sw release" the flashes says for the phone is: DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_009

So now I should download the Latvian release and load the cmt from that release? Should I download the 1.2 or any other version?
polomarko,

OK...so it looks like the German fw 009 was at least partially installed. Unfortunately, you can't downgrade to the Latvian fw as it is a downgrade and it will fail. What we need to do now is wipe everything and start fresh. Make sure that the German fw 009 is not corrupt or that the download was uncomplete, etc. To make sure, download it again from here:
http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/p/d/f...M1-958_ARM.bin

For the eMMC lets use the same one that I used which is the rest of world. Download from here:
http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/p/d/f...MMC_NOMAPS.bin

Once you have both files downloaded you're going to issue this command:
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data
Obviously replacing main with the name of the fw.bin and emmc with the name of the emmc.bin

Make sure that all syntax is correct...it will take awhile while it is erasing everything. It took mine around 10 mins.

Let me know how it goes...
