I just purchased a Nokia N9 from Expansys here in the UK. The model number written on the SIM tray is: 059L5D0

I have yet to receive an OTA update to PR 1.2. Being impatient and wanting the PR 1.2 goodness, I decided to try and perform the upgrade myself by following the sticky guide here:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ght=Update+1.2

Unfortunately for me, I can't find the correct download for model "059L5D0". The model number listed for UK & Ireland is "059J1Z7".

Which firmware should I download (if any)? Should I just wait for an OTA update?

Any help really appreciated. Thanks.

I doubt there will be an OTA-Update since you have a country variant. I solved the problem by chaning my product code and updating my phone afterwards with NSU, so I now have PR_001 instead of PR_480

How can I change my country code? Is there a guide (for a beginner) somewhere?

I also am waiting for PR1.2 for my N9 country variant (059L5H1). I did receive PR1.1 OTA, is there a chance I could get PR1.2 OTA?

Download and install NSS

1.Connect you Phone with the USB cable
2.Now open NSS, scan the new device
3.Choose “phone info" after that select "read"
4.You can now see what your phone product code is.
5.At this moment you must modify the power mode to local
6.Your handset will restart in local mode,
7. Select enable the product code and write a new product code over there then click the "write" option .
8.Set power mode to normal once more and hit "read"

But AIR you don't have to change PR_code, you can just use one of the other fw images.*
You don't have to use a fw image that matches your model no. etc.

In fact I've seen more recommendations against changing PR_code than for.
There's a thread or 3 in the N9/950 sub-forum now by one guy...
He's gotten himself into all sorts of trouble by going down that route.
He was mostly unlucky though IIRC....

*There's rules about which one you can use e.g. PR_code/no. must be equal or higher than your current fw.

nice outline, might add that one to the guide instead of what's referenced now.

I'll wait for OTA update. My N9 has the 059L5D0 and I'am old enough to wait for PR 1.2. Can somebody explain to me why you need the new version right now?

Please don't tell people to change their product codes - a number of people have had major issues after attempting to do so with NSS or NSS Pro. The problem is that instead of overwriting the product code, the HW variant code gets changed instead - this results in extremely strange results when trying to flash. Changing the PC is dangerous and unnecessary.

@OP: Use the flashing guide and put the 001 firmware onto your phone. There's no need to wait, nor change your product code. Also, this way you don't have to wait for future firmware versions either.
