skeiron.org/tablets-dev is the exact replica of tablets-dev.nokia so the places where tools are available are the exact same!

If you "clean-flash" the device, flashing both device firmware and emmc, it will take about 10 minutes. An example of this type of flashing is the following command:
Code:
sudo flasher -f -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -F 29FAD658_DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.NORTHERNEUROPE_EMMC_NORTHERNEUROPE.bin -R
Code:
sudo flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 --flash-only=kernel -f -R
Consider the amount of data transferred in the process, when device is clean-flashed it will need to transfer and flash about 2.8GB of data, when flashing only kernel it will need to transfer and flash about 2.8MB of data.
When you "clean-flash" the device you actually clean it as new, hence you will propably feel that it is "fresh" and "snappy". I belive that is the way you did when you flashed the device long way.
It is no sense here to flame joerg_rw here, as this has nothing at all to do with your host computer, it does not matter what OS you run there or what drivers you have installed.

I meant what i said, and i said because i found out that it is, and don't come here to tell me bla-bla things without trying it to, and is not the same as slow computer as fast quanta CPU set...and slower PCs has slow USB data transfer op to 12.MBps max, while faster PCs today USB data transfer is up to 488.MBps, and USBv.3.0 has even faster so... sorry to say, but don't talk B.SH!
Nokia almost always used outdated and slower hardware but with good software to build it's devices, so N9 is one of this devices to with slower outdated hardware in it, it works for us right...should explain anymore..!?
Fast data writing on flash rooms might not work, bcz on firmware pack, there is encrypted or highly compressed files than can't be written fast enough on Eprom memory chunks, after that the device might start but there might be internal hardware errors that many of us have it often, so that's why slower computer for flashing device is more compatible than the fast one!
Now I em enjoying my device, i fell like i have new one...well before my last flash i was anger i almost put in front of my gun to shut at it!

Can anybody tell me tech-support email-address of tablets-dev.nokia.com ? I've been trying to download flasher_3.12.1_i386.deb since sunday, but still unsuccessfully.
I don't think they're doing some techical work right now... Maybe.. they just don't see that their website is DOWN.
However it would be good if you sent an email and just maybe they brought it back up as a result... hostmaster@nokia.com is one but I'm not sure if its the right one...

Also, I can't use any mirror, cause I beware of getting software from untrusted sources. I even don't know the checksum for the original deb file.

I bought a second hand N9 product code 059J250. I tried flashing with DFL_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1- 968_ARM The flash finished but the phone was very slow to boot and now I get a message saying I have a sim card error and I get no network. I do have wifi but no operator network. Please help

I think you have the wrong firmware. Navifirm says that you should have 003.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

If your sim card issue still plagues you, try a different sim-card to rule out the sim being the problem.

Please advise: Should I use flasher -f -F DFL_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.NORTHERNEUROPE_EMMC_NORTHERNEUROPE.bin which is the content file listed in nvifirm for that product code or do I use the Mcu file, the one I flashed already and use emmc in the command line? Sorry to be so uneducated.
