@polomarko
" 'sudo' on linux" -eq " 'run as administrator' on windows", so something you already have done, as flasher runs only with admin privileges on Win.

Just go ahead and follow rainisto's path.
Maybe try a warm flash directly after the cold flash (idk, but heard/read smth like that).

And one more thing:


When trying to flash a cmt from another sw release you need to give the ape-algo from current release, so your command should look like:
flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin --flash-only=cmt -f
Otherwise it is pointless, as it would be a normal flashing operation...
Thank you for your help Peterleinchen. I'll follow your instructions and let you know on the progress.

I made a fool out of myself today and ruined my N9. I hade very little battery juice left when I decided to install the Billboard app. During the installation the battery got totally empty and the phone died.

It was then impossible to even start the phone. I managed to charge it by using the Flasher and then stopped the process at 10% of charge to continue charging with the wall charger.

I have my phone set up with dualboot: Nitdroid and MeeGo 1.2
After my incident I can only boot into Nitdroid. Battery is at 50% now so it's not caused by low battery anymore. Something probably got messed up when installing the app and crashing in the midst of the process.
Can I do something to be able to boot into MeeGo or am I doomed to flash my phone?

If I decide to reflash and go all MeeGo 1.3, is it possible to flash from 1.2 to 1.3 in my situation with a dual boot setup? Will the dual boot and Nitdroid disappear in the progress or do I have to do something special.

Edit: Moderators; feel free to move this post into another thread if it's misplaced.

Beware that I am not a flashing guru (like rainisto and others).
And maybe I am/was confused and mixed above with flashing different kernels (as I never needed to flash different cmt).
So maybe wait for a confimation from others.

But for sure I would at first start all over with a total reflash
flasher -F fw009.bin -F emmc.bin -f --erase-user-data=secure
and finally flash above command (without reboot).

Thanks! That did the trick. I managed to boot in RD mode and then after doing a reset in the settings I could boot in normal production mode.

Anyway, if I decide to flash my phone to only have Harmattan 1.3, how should I proceed? I guess I have an open kernel since I'm dual booting with Nitdroid and Harmattan 1.2.
Will a flash just remove bootloaders and Nitdroid bringing me a single Harmattan 1.3?

If you do zerorize flash it should work. Also please note that there is nothing called harmattan 1.3.
MeeGo Harmattan is 1.2 but Nokia has PR 1.3 which is latest.

Thank you for your clarification. I will try your solution by zerorizing and flashing my device to PR 1.3.

polomarko,

I know it's a long shot but have you tried flashing using a linux system?

Hello to all members,i am new user of nokia n9 and i have some questions about reflashing . In the flasher folder i put only firmware.bin and emmc.bin,or also all the other files from here http://mrcrab.net/nokia/Nokia_N9.htm...n=40.2012.21.3 ?,i use ''sudo flasher'' command only in linux,for windows i use just ''flasher''? I have to put ''flasher -i'' command before the ''flasher -f -F firmware.bin -F emmc.bin -R'' command? Because the forum of my country said to put only ''flasher -f -F firmware.bin -F emmc.bin -R''.
I just bought my n9 and i can't connect it to my nokia 6600 via bluetooth but both devices can connect to other phones(sony xperia),i tried restore settings and clear device and nothing work thats why i want to reflash it just to be sure
I'm sorry for the long post and noobish questions but i just want to be sure of what i'm doing

Nokia Care Waterford and Nokia.ie have failed to save my N9 which came from china and are not willing to offer any warranty for it in Europe.
