The files part is indeed tricky

Most of it should be in meta.db located in ~/.cache/tracker/meta.db

I did the cold flash as described.

I don't see errors, so I guess that worked. I followed that with a reset:

rob@hymie:~/FlashN9/Firmware/059M5V1$ sudo flasher -R

Still doesn't boot. So I flash it "warm" again. After the reset step, the LED flashes 8 (I think) short flashes and goes dark. I pull the cable and try to start it. As before, the LED comes on steady, but no vibrate. Eventually the LED turns off, but the phone is not working as expected. This is the same result as I've gotten previously.

BTW, I can still plug it in to USB port and run "lsusb" and find,
"Bus 001 Device 110: ID 0421:0518 Nokia Mobile Phones" after a short wait.

This is the same as before, so it's sort of running.

robthebold,

Does this mean your display is not working? The signs are that after some while its still detected so the device has power and life but the display is spoilt/damaged hence nothing appears?


Edit: For your reference my device in sync&connect:
Code:
Bus 002 Device 028: ID 0421:0519 Nokia Mobile Phones
Similar right? Hence my suspicion of a damaged/spoilt display not a spoilt device per se...

It's possible . . . I also never get the vibrate either when powering it up, but I don't know the exact boot sequence . . .

Do you know of any further test to rule in/out a dead screen?

Thanks

Not sure of any further test; since you've flashed your device you can't SSH in too so it can't be confirmed that the device is working and screen spoilt... But my guess would be on a damaged screen...

Maybe someone else can help out too; try pinging Hurrian or juiceme or jonni on #harmattan on freenode as they know much more about hardware...

I remember reading in one of your posts (IIRC) you gave another user a contact to ask about US warranty service for his N9. But I don't remember enough to successfully search out the post. Would you repeat that here or message me, please, if it's ok with him/her?

Thanks

There is a quick way to boot the device to maintanance mode and telnet into it. This would make sure if the problem is indeed the screen or if the device does not boot at all.

Get my MOSLO based maintanance boot from svn repository;
"svn co https://toosa.swagman.org/svn/sillykbd/TRUNK/moslo", and have a look at the README file for details.

If you can telnet to the device you can be sure it's just the screen that is broken.
Also, you can manually export your mmcblk partition via the USB connection to take backup on external PC, if you for example need to send the device for repair.

Tried it, but still no change,
I can't set an IP address to to the phone because it will not stay connected to the PC with a custom kernel. Probably why I can't clear the MALF state either.

dmesg gives me:
Code:
[  915.000065] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17
[  918.154552] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 17
[  920.030081] usb 1-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 18
[  920.762702] usb 1-2: USB disconnect, address 18
It disconnects as soon as I load the custom kernel for your tool or for flasher.
After it disconnects, lsusb won't list the phone - it's as if it wasn't connected to the computer at all.

With just
Code:
sudo flasher -i
the phone stays connected to the computer and lsusb gives me:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 024: ID 0421:0105 Nokia Mobile Phones Nokia Firmware Upgrade Mode
Do any of you know, if the phone is still supposed to boot and vibrate with the proximity sensor and screen disconnected?
I bought a replacement screen for the phone from eBay so I don't believe that it's faulty. It COULD be a faulty sensor, but I really doubt it because I just replaced it as well..

Thanks very much.

Okay, I can telnet in to device. (Took me a little while, since everything I know about usb networking fits in a thimble, and I was using 192.168.2.* as my local LAN, so using offline device finally did the trick. )

Anyway, I can see the root directory with "ls" and I can ping back to the USB host PC, so I guess the phone has booted up. From what you wrote, I gather the screen is dead but the phone lives. Anything else I should test before attempting to get it fixed?

Thanks again,
Rob

Rob, have you ever gotten the "device descriptor read/64, error -110" error while trying to clear the MALF state?
And does your phone stay connected to the computer correctly? Mine disconnects as soon as I try to load a custom kernel and goes into a connect-disconnect loop.
