i had the same problem before. you can upgrade to 009 of course.
for main firmware (MCU, region 009) you can use these variants for example:
RM-696 NDT SWITZERLAND WHITE 64GB (059M6M9)
RM-696 NDT SWITZERLAND MAGENTA 16GB (059K753)
RM-696 NDT SWITZERLAND CYAN 16GB (059K756)
RM-696 NDT SWITZERLAND BLACK 64GB (059K772)
RM-696 NDT SWITZERLAND BLACK 16GB (059K748)
you need only "DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1-958_ARM.bin"

for regional content (MMC/EMMC) you can use these variants:
RM-696 NDT UK IRELAND MAGENTA 16GB (059K1F5)
RM-696 NDT UK IRELAND CYAN 16GB (059K0W0)
RM-696 NDT UK IRELAND BLACK 64GB (059J186)
RM-696 NDT UK IRELAND BLACK 16GB (059J1Z7)
you need only "DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.UKIRELAND_EMMC_UKIRELAND.bin"

for modem (CMT) use one of these variants:
RM-696 NDT CHINA MAGENTA 16GB (059K1T4)
RM-696 NDT CHINA CYAN 16GB (059K164)
RM-696 NDT CHINA BLACK 16GB (059J250)
you need only "DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_003-OEM1-958_ARM.bin"

OR if the CMT above did not work for you try this one:
N9 RM-696 PRC China Unicom CN PRC CU Black v1 (059L5T5)
you need only "DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.418.2_PR_LEGACY_418_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin"

after download place all files in a folder and follow the tutorial step by step. do not forget to move Flasher to the same folder. you can also use my commands below after you prepared everything:
OR (use this if the previous not worked for you)
and then reboot your phone to finish.
