Thank you,
sorry for double post. I have deleted my post here.

No probs; brought back your post here

See "Revovering from flash errors" at the bottom of the guide.

You need the old firmware (probably 003/China variant - look at the code printed on the SIM tray) and flash with the

argument.

Thanks for reply, I have read that section. My phone is central european. Now I have flashed with German fw hence it doesnt allow downgrade. I am suspecting it is hw issue.
Just wanted to know if there is any way to confirm this based on error description.

Hi all,

this is my first post, so apologies if this has been answered before but I searched the forum for two hours and could not find an answer.

I recently bought a used N9 (my third!) and while my others are of the 001 variant this is a 009 variant for which I didn't have the firmware files on backup. The previous owner has messed up with various things and it is necessary for me to restore it to "clean" condition.

I managed to download the emmc file but each time I try to download the rootfs .bin file from navifirm+ or from the following link:

http://nds2.fds-fire.nokia.com/p/d/f...M1-958_ARM.bin

it fails at the 221MB mark.

I believe there has been an attempt by the community to preserve the N9 firmwares independently from Nokia. Does anyone have the file I am looking for or can point me in the right direction?

thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

This too stops downloading after the first 221MB as it is essentially from the same source the link I provided points to.

At first I thought it is an internet connection issue but I tried from both home and work. Does anyone have some other source to try?

Use wget to download it; i just used the same on my remote box and its at ~440MB without any disruptions...

Hey, first time posting here, but here goes.
So I fudged up my n9, and now it seems like the only way to get the phone to boot is to flash it. I have followed the instructions listed up to the point where I have to connect my phone to my PC. And this is where things get complicated. When I plug my phone to the PC, my phone tries to boot. Just to clarify, my phones power is off, but when I connect it to my PC it tries to boot itself. Because of this I am unable to flash, and I have absolutely no idea how I should continue.
