@ikkysleepy Ok, so here is how I got my n950 alive again:

1) downloaded the OCF from here: http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/release/N950/firmware/

2) Unpacked it with WinRAR (I used Windows)

3) Used flasher.exe -F img.bin -F emmc.bin -f to charge the device - when it stops charging, reconnect the device and start the flasher again. Repeat until it starts copying the files. Worked for me.

The problem here was that for some reason the secure erase did not work so I just didn't

Result: pr1.1 works. Next up: Get pr1.3 to work
