how can i change and apply a theme if i cannot open my n9? as i dont want to reflash my device..

what did you do?
tell me fully what you are seeing on your phone now...

saw your post on the FDB thread; if you read this was posted there by me before too:

ok this is where sdk mode comes handy for:

1) switch on your phone
2) plug it in to your PC
3) select sdk mode on the phone
4) install winscp & puTTy on your PC
5) open winscp and the address of the host should be 192.168.2.15 with username root and password rootme
6) open puTTY and user will be root and password rootme
8) you can use puTTy to change directory to where you copied the theme to
9) do a cp /location/where/you/copied/the/theme/ /home/user/MyDocs
10) cd /home/user/MyDocs/THEME_NAME
11) sh default.sh

voila, it'll reboot and you are done...


Edit: Remember when you copy the theme to MyDocs it should be directly the theme folder i.e. /home/user/MyDocs/Theme_Name/default.sh


Edit2: if you feel uncomfortable doing the above just follow till step 6 of above then enter:

after installing the latest dark theme 7.0a6, my phone icons changed to red box, then after a reboot, my phone wont open, its just a small squares. a progress indicator i think, but wont proceed to main start up..
please help..

this is what i see when i open my device...

please help!

ok i posted instructions for you above just follow them and you will be able to fix it...i've got the same thing several times; its a small issue...

how can i choose sdk mode on my device?

when you plug in your usb cable, you should be given 3 options;
use as mass storage
sync and connect
sdk mode

how can i select sdk mode on my device? everytime i open my device, the picture above is what i always see on my n9. no option for anything else when i attach my n9 to pc

first switch on your phone, then connect to the pc you should be able to get the options...


for a test once you see the screen for 15secs make a call to your phone; can you receive a call?
