I started downloading the bin you've sent me and i'll try doing it in a few days and will be posting updates in this thread and probably a step-by-step guide on how I did it, I had some health issues that prevented me to spend time on the Internet so that's the main reason I didn't post any replies. Thanks

I have a lot of stuff installed on my N9 including Inception, is it safe for me to just start installing the firmware or should I hardreset it first?

When you say stuff, presumably you have backed up any contacts & photos you wouldn't want to lose? Any paid for former Nokia Store apps. would be a problem if deleted. Inception is going a way back and wondered why you never went down aegis install hack route later. Less likely for anything to go wrong on freshly flashed device, but remember would need to install N9Repomirror to get developer mode to install afterwards.

Thought you might like this work-through in English and attached video:https://techcure.wordpress.com/tag/nokia-n9-ics/

Remember you would need to type in Terminal to remove annoying "Warning you have modified device" screen

I have posted some of terminal output for installing JellyBean upon N9 (too large to include all) as find it much easier to SSH into device and spy/paste to avoid errors: Please note that build.prop & audio_policy.conf have to have .txt removed after download, if using Mac as will be in Plain Text Document format otherwise.

Remember that you need to hold down "volume down" when powering on to access boot menu

c:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher>flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zlmage -flash-only=kernel -f -R
flasher 3.12.1 (Oct 6 2011) Harmattan
ERROR: Only single flash option is allowed
ERROR: Error processing option -f
Not sure what I am doing wrong, i was just following the tutorial lol
*2 even if use the flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin it says nothing to do lol everything is in it's place and i've ran cmd as administrator

I managed to get it running but now i have a dialog that says WARNING: bad kernel format in zlmage
FIASCO ERROR: zlmage: No such file or directory

>The main problem was the typing of z"I"mage, I put a low-case L instead of uppercase I.

So, I've installed sillyboot and nitdroid but when i turn it on and press volume up it displays 3 @@@ symbols and after a few moments turns itself off.

Try holding volume down (button nearest power button) in whilst pressing power button, if not a typographic error.

I just realized that I have to install it in /home/ and not /home/nitdroid/

Clue in error message as should be:
c:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher>flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zlmage --flash-only=kernel -f -R

with two -- before flash-only not one.

In a few tuts i've found online there was only one dash (-) but it's all well now, i'm currently booting in ICS.
What's up with the Wi-Fi loop, it can't find any connections? It's not a problem tho.
