I had installed open mode and NITDroid on my N9 and now decided to go back to pure Harmattan.
I flashed the image twice and also did a system reset. I am back to Normal mode and default bootloader but the nitdroid folders still remain and I have some problems with aegis asking password on every boot. Even after full system resets, not even the sms msgs are cleared.

also some launcher icons of new apps come as green squircles.
I assure you that I am on stock kernel. It's currently not possible to download and flash the emmc image, but I have the firmware image.

kindly show a way to reset to factory state

Thanks

For password issue, delete all your accounts by doing the following as regular user in terminal:

Code:

rm -rf /home/user/.aegis
rm -rf /home/user/.accounts
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync

You want you can delete the nitdroid folders as root too

However, the best solution is simply a full rootfs+emmc flash; solves all the headaches you may encounter

Since I'm getting more issues like green(blank) launcher icons and a not working facebook app, I think emmc is the only option.
Isn't there any other way than downloading the whole emmc file? What's the size?
I have a second N9, is there any provision of extracting emmc from it?

sudo flasher --erase-user-data=secure -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin -R

Thats the command that you want to use if you want factory state.
