Thanks, looks useful

so should I use those same "N950" marked files for N9, will it do no harm, yes?

Yup those N950 files are fine for the N9 and they will put your phone into open mode so I think just chrooting in should be sufficient to remove the lock as CAL is locked in open mode and device lock doesn't work though I haven't tried it myself in such a situation...

I have the same problem as robthebold.

For cold flashing, I have to write

Code:

flasher -c -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data

instead of

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data

am I right?

It didn't show the usual flashing sequence. Is that normal?

Can you try it without the --erase-user-data flag?

@ thedead1440 one more question, how can I chroot that device if I have mounted its filesystems on the PC? anyway, I have like really no idea what to do after mounting those filesystems. lost in searching of internet.

Once you have the file-systems mounted you can extract whatever you want from them

Also maybe you can try unmounting and booting; does it still ask for lock code now that the device is in open mode?

I have not mounted it yet, but that's the part I think I can make myself, so I was asking further. Then I'll need to found what files stand for contacts, messages, notes and call log in system
