2.) Your device is not in real power-off mode

For problem 1, you need to fix your PC
For problem 2, you might want to try to press and hold the N9 power button for about 30 seconds or until flasher notices that the device is connected when you plug it in.

I don't think it's 1, because when it was coming up to the ubiboot console, if I unplugged it and replugged at that point, flasher was clearly detecting SOMETHING it thought was relevant (and then saying it timed out waiting for the flashing interface, or something like that...if I can't get it to do something more productive than that, I'll pastebin it--probably in another thread). But thanks for the advice.

I'm not sure if its totally off topic here, but I have a correctly working UbiBoot setup with nemo (sailfish lipstick), android, harmattan and firefox installed.

Let's just say that I want to restore the phone to it's full original state. My question is that do I have to do anything with the partition created for Nemo, or all I have to do is to reflash the phone with the original arm & emmc.bins?

You have all possibilities,
depending on what you want to achieve.

1. full reset to factory state
flash fw and emmc with option --no-preserve

2. only get rid of ubiboot
flash only the kernel --flash-only=kernel
you may remove nitdroid/firefox folder and MyDocs/boot
partition 4 will stay and may be used for other means

So if I want to get rid of partition 4 (on which Nemo mobile is installed, I guess?), and attach it back to harmattan's EMMC (as it was set by factory), I'll have to use Moslo again, right?

Or if I use the --no-preserve option, will it "automatically" restore all the partitions & other stuff to it's default states?

Thanks. Sorry if I seem to be a bit dumb, but I am. That's why I ask twice (or even more) before I do anything.

EDIT:
Thanky fo patience, it looks like a succesful flash.

Have searched can't find!
Anyone as I have problems with 'Mail for Exchange' with Ubiboot?
I can't connect to server in N9 with Ubiboot (both l2fix and plus kernels) - no problem in my N9 without Ubiboot (l2fix kernel)?

Well that is strange indeed.

There used to be problem with SIP when using ubiboot and that was caused by the preinit script that was used back then, it was the same one used by Nitdroid and it had USB networking enabled which caused SIP to try to route packets to wrong interface.

However, that has been corrected by the new preinit script which is same as original Harmattan preinit. I wonder if there is something similar here.

Can you do "ls -la /sbin/pre*" on Harmattan console, are your /sbin/preinit and /sbin/preinit_harmattan identical?

Ok, I have a problem now. I tried to repartition using GParted to add an extended partition, so I backed up all the data on my Alt_OS, rootfs and the other partition which holds the Nitdroid files, and then repartitioned. I recreated the partitions I'd deleted, and untarred the files back into them. However, none of my OS's boot anymore. I verified that the partition numbers are still the same (i.e. rootfs is on /dev/mmcblk0p3), and now I don't know what to do. All the files are there, the permissions are the same as they used to be, and the partitions are the same - what am I missing?
