I've tried flashing multiple firmwares and each time, I get a screen that asks me to enter the lock code to access the phone. I bought it second hand, and the lock code is long lost.

I heard something about flashing v1.2, then trying to brute force the PIN from there. I haven't been able to find a copy of the 1.2 firmware that doesn't ask for a pin code. Some guidance would be amazing.

I am sure searching for "lock code" on here will find your answer.

Yeah, I hate to make an unnecessary thread, but a bunch of outdated links and vaguely labelled copies got me slightly confused.

Anyway, here is exactly how I solved it:

First, I flashed this exact image:
http://www.mrcrab.net/nokia/Nokia_N9...n=10.2010.19.1

which in turn allowed me to start the phone and access the terminal without having to enter a lock code.

Then I followed the steps from here:
http://lifewithmaemo.blogspot.in/201...lock-code.html

Which got me the lock code I needed in an instant.

I had issues with some of the other firmwares I tried. Most of them required the lock code on start, and one of them that didn't removed my IMEI number and wouldn't allow me to connect to the internet to install rootsh.

I hope this helps someone someday.

THANK YOU ! That version worked ! After I've flashed with that version I could use ssh to get my lock code. Thanks a million
