The only reason that I can see is to force an OTA or NSU update when your firmware is an older version and new firmware exists for the other product code.

However, I agree that it is far easier to use Navifirm, download the firmware and use Flasher - no stuffing around with changing product codes.

As far as I know, changing the product code doesn't even help with doing an SSU (OTA upgrade) - that's based entirely on which variant firmware is already installed on the phone at the time.

That means there's no reason to change the product code unless you really want to use Nokia Software Updater, and that seems to cause problems on its own. :/

I think this should be a sticky.

Reported your post & in doing so asked the mods to sticky it.
I've also added this guide to the universal guide
(The more up-to-date Google Docs version)
This is probably the best flashing/updating guide I've seen yet.

Thank-you!

I experienced the very same symptoms, and proceeded with flashing anyway, and everything went fine for me (proceed at your own risk).

Thanks itsnotabigtruck ;)

When you say:


What's the meaning of "blocked"?

My N9 is branded (Nokia N9 of Argentina, "Personal" brand).
One of my goals is to get "Vanillla" Meego Experience. My branded N9 can not use WiFi-spot, has a horrible startup animation, and has some other limitations.

I'm planning to flash LTA firmware on it. Are you aware of any trouble?
Anyone has any experience on something similar?

Thanks in advance.


No problem to flash with a Claro branded N9 from Argentina, no blocked at all, firmware update without any problem.
