murhanaama,
Power off your device by holding the power button for 8-10seconds. Plug in your device to your PC only when the command prompt on PC shows the message "Suitable device/phonet not found blabla..."
The flash should now execute successfully.
Also welcome around
EDIT: Well I'm not sure what happened, but I left the phone off for the night, and when I tried to flash it again it succeeded.

I have read the flashing tutorial. I am wondering if I am wasting my time trying to flash the firmware V 40.2012.21-3_PR_003. I am trying to get a western firmware w/ an english base lang. and the missing apps like Skype...etc I have been using a Phoenix/Nokia flasher and have received many flashing errors like firmware older than installed or "flashing failed in recovery" I prefer the Phoenix due to its simplicity, Is the win flasher able to overcome what appears to be a firmware lock inserted from the newer 1.3 firmware?
Has anyone successfully found a workaround to re-flash a Chinese N9 running 1.3 already to a western firmware.
firmwares attempted Singapore,central Europe,Australia,new Zealand,ROW,northern Europe,Ireland.
currently running 059J250, sim tray059M7K1
thanks in advance...

It would be doable with ubiboot.
I have not tried it but there is nothing really preventing you from restoring a clean backup taken from another phone that has been installed with european PR1.3

I saw a post about nemesis software and changing the product code.
then attempt a re flash. does anyone have thoughts on that?
thanks

Hello everyone-
I currently a Cyan Nokia N9 16GB, an unlocked Malaysian variant to be specific. Anyway, I stupidly flashed an incorrect PR 1.3 firmware from 3 in Sweden a few months ago and I've had nothing but problems ever since. Beyond that, I also (stupidly) attempted to change the product code of the phone in order to downgrade the firmware back to the original one.
Long story short, I've continually experienced multiple glitches and problems over the past few months. To begin with, the battery life on the phone since I flashed the new firmware has gone to crap, meaning the phone now lasts then half a day if fully charged. I've also had bugs with my contacts not loading automatically at bootup, the Facebook app not working at all, Wazapp not sending messages, and a whole host of other issues. If anyone has any ideas for how to fix these problems I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance.
-Sincerely, bobofosho123

recently (yesterday) i got n9 tweaks and of course made a back up before doing anything and today i did a full restoration which requires a reboot and that was the last i saw from my precious N9 this always shows up now when i try to open my phone
https://twitter.com/AussieEgyptian/s...661888/photo/1
i looked at all the other threads and nothing helped i tried to plug it in both a windows 98/xp/7 nothing worked and it just starts reading and then says error installing your device and Nokia software updater can't read it and the link for the flasher doesn't work (just shows an error and i can't by pass that screen please guys help i'm desperate what should i do
EDIT: it turned on and just ran out of battery straight away and when i tried to reboot it after plugging it in the charger no luck no luck what shoul i do ?

OK, so what has happened:
When you did some tweaks you modified some "protected" applications or files on the device, so that their checksum changed. Normally I think N9QuickTweak correctly recalculates the checksums so that device works normally (this is done via refhash.pl script)
When the device boots and the cecksums are incorrect it goes to "Malf mode" where it refuses to boot and shows this screen.
Additionally, you let the device run dry of battery which further complicates things as now there is not enough charge to boot it up.
The solution to both problems is to use flasher, fist to charge the device enough for booting, and then boot it to rescue mode to remove the Malf.

Hi JuiceMe, I don't suppose you have a solution to my problem?
1. You need to charge up your phone enough for it to boot. There are many threads about that, for example http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=87709
2. You need to fix the problem that was there in the first place. For that many solutions exist, but it depends on what you want to do how to proceed. You have backups; that is good because always there is the possibility of breaking something.
- You can clean flash the device, and restore your backups. This might be easiest if you do not want to go to open mode.
- You can install open mode kernel and remove the /var/malf file, which allows you to continue much like before, you do not need to restore anything. (you will need to recreate your accounts, however, and you will have the open mode warning on boot but otherwice it's pretty good)
