Help me please!

You should read carefully the first post of this thread, and possibly the following discussion, because your exact issue is expained there.
At very least do a search for "downgrade disallowed". The results should explain you the causes.

thanks guys. problem fixed

Hey Sorry for getting back late on this.

Nokia Care (and I believe it was a pretty bad one to choose) charged me 100 bucks to 'inspect' nothing else. I have told this to the seller that it works and they say there is no point of shipping it back. I kind of agree. There is absolutely no surety that the money would be refunded or they will send another phone (they gave me this option before) as the payment was processed outside of Paypal and does not come under Ebay guarantee.

So here is my take on this- would keep using it, hope it lasts about a year. Its a fabulous phone and it's rather sad to see Nokia not manufacturing Meego/Meemo based phones.


There is a trip scheduled to US later this year, hope to pick another phone from Amazon (should be better).

in phones with embeded battries you need to disconect battery and try again it works 99% time and also uninstall device via device manager in windows (left click on my computer then select properties ) and connect again

For which issues , this solution works? SIM Error also?

@Pratyush , That is fair enough I guess, N9 is brilliant phone and most people think same as you except may be 2 Steves ( Ballmer and Elop)
Let me know if you are planning any trip to Poland

The dreaded SIM card error has caught my N9 too. I have read many posts on this forum and other Meego forums to no avail.

The latest on the saga is that I keep getting PIN code requests (SIM card PIN) every now and then. When that is provided, the carrier network is detected for a brief period before the SIM card error is displayed again. I must add that the last --flash-only=cmt worked and showed success!

I've tried flashing numerous times and I am not sure what could be going wrong here. Its a unlocked N9 64 GB, product code 059J228 (Middle East version, I believe!).

Any help much appreciated.
