Its a downgrade because of timestamps, explained in here http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=201

So if you really want vietman firmware, you need to wait for possible next pr vanilla release and only flash on top of that one. You will always fail from sweden to vietnam in PR1.2.

I've got to ask this question.
My N9 is locked to operator let's call it "A". As far as I know it's not branded, but to be honest, I don't have access to miscrosim from operator "A" to check it (no signs of operator "A" when powered without any SIM).
I bought unlock code, but I'm unable to enter it (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83172).
I want to use it with SIM from operator "B". I've checked, phone powers off immediately with SIM "B" inserted.
Will any type of flashing ("comprehensive reset" or "zeroize device") remove lock to operator "A". I'm asking this because image bin files are accompanied by strange files called "simlock*.bin".

And also this guide is amazing. All crucial info about flashing in one elegant place

Thank you so much for you answer. Now i think i understand :-) and again, can you more detail about "the next pr vanila" ...you meant tne pr 1.3? Or i still can flash with another variant of pr 1.2 released after sweden (for example Australia variant?)

The following commands will remove all data from your phone and restore it to factory state. The provided content files (sample music, wallpaper, etc.) will be restored.

Code:
flasher -f -F main.bin
flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc
@itsnotabigtruck: Thanks for the detailed guide.

I'm intending to do a comprehensive reset as my twitter notifications aren't working. I've read that a "clear device" resolves the issue but since I'm going back to factory I might as well do it properly since I'm also experiencing some lag. I previously updated to PR1.2 through NSU (Does this do the same thing?)

In your commands above what is the purpose of the first line? From my understanding the second line accomplishes the comprehensive reset and the first line is just flashing the rootFS. If I am flashing the rootFS and the emmc in the second line the first line seems a bit pointless. Unless I am missing something and there is a benefit?

As far as I understand first line flashes the rootfs.
In second line first image is used to tell the flasher how to flash specific device (?) and only flash /home directory (flash-only=mmc parameter).
I can be wrong.

Thanks herr_oigg, but I'm still a bit confused. This would make more sense to me...

flasher -f -F main.bin
flasher -f -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc

OR just...

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc

I've checked the usage and understand the "-f", "-F" and "--flash-only=mmc" parameters its just the first line in that throws me. I'm unfamiliar with Nokia flasher so I'd rather ask before going ahead with it. I've got some time before I try as NaviFirm is taking forever to download the files...

@Nosph3ratu
You can combine commands in flasher.
In your case you can forget about flash-only parameter in combined command, so it should be like:

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin

Correct me if I'm wrong...

Yeah I've seen that post as its just after the guide, that makes more sense to me.

I just wanted to find out if there's a reason why @itsnotabigtruck added the first line or was it just a typo?

Either way I'll give it a shot once NaviFirm completes the download and doesnt get stuck again

i've updated my n9 to 1.2 through OTA. After reboot it gave me the warranty error again. I pressed volume keys a few times and it passed the screen. Gave an another error, i said okey. After that phone booted and running without problem. Phone got all 1.2 features but it says on about section its version is 20.20... like 1.1 . When ever i reboot the phone it gives warranty error. How do i fix this.

I flashed the phone many times before it came by OTA. Because of the warranty error i flashed back to 1.1 getting cmt from 1.2 .
