Hi, i had a problem with flashing my n9 (i did it because of bootloop, i simply couldn't turn it on, and it's not battery's fault cause i recently bought a new one thinking that bootloop problerm is caused by old battery) Do you know what may be wrong? I've red many threads about flashing and it really helped me but now im stuck.

And by the way, is there a recent thread about nitdroid installation?, it would be nice to do it if there's a chance.

Answer is near the bottom of output = Downgrade disallowed (1352745255)

Thanks for your reply, i took te firmware from the exact same thread, can you tell me more about that downgrade? does it mean that i already have pr1.3 firmware (i'm not sure)? i didn't mess with the system by any means, but i can't turn on my n9, so i thougt the best thing to do would be to reflash it.

This resource probably explains it quite well:http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f609...nside-1494320/

At top of your Flasher output it tells you that it has the following:https://archive.org/download/NokiaN9...ngePlPlBlackV2

For Bootloop try using R & D mode as described here:https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...83&postcount=2

Ok, i 've enabled R&D mode but now it's stuck witch a wrench on the screen and nokia logo for a while only to disconnenct and connect every few seconds. Is it possible to flash a phone without the latest system version? I mean only with the version that i already have? And how do i know whats the image name for eMMc? I also found something about cleaning rootfs by flasher but i dont know whether it is important or not.

Sorry for so many questions, but i am a noob who is just trying to learn.

As regards EMMC use DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.NOMAPS_EMMC_NOMAPS in first source I gave you. All EMMC images have well out of date map data so pointless using although even latest map data is only 2015 for N9.

It would be worth trying to flash 05E93654_DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.341.2_PR_LEGACY_341_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin from archive link again.

Although it make take some time think that you need to use:
Please have a look at this comprehensive resource, although now very long most flashing problems occurring have been covered:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693

Ok, i'm trying it right now, but is it normal that the battery is empty even though it was charged to 11% few hours ago when it was plugged to the computer? It's a new battery, i got it 3 days ago, is it possible that it's faulty? Because the bootloop appeared with other battery overnight without any earlier symptoms.

Last time I bought so called new battery it was manufactured years ago. If you use flasher to charge battery to <10% using and then exit can you connect it to mains charger to fully charge or not? https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...21&postcount=1
Did you hold power button in fully until phone vibrated (takes about 8 seconds) after using flasher to ensure it was actually switched off?

Yes, after plugging it to the charger it was tuning on and of every few second like it did with the computer, but it seems that it doesn't charge at all when plugged to the charger. It vibrates and the led is on but then it turns of itself.

It won't charge from mains charger until you reach critical level 11% using flasher method. but if you don't exit process at that stage it starts to flash image.

There have been reported problems with non-genuine batteries in the past only demonstrated by returning to manufacturer's battery and charging using above method. Can be worth checking all the connectors one more time if unused to disassembling N9.
