Hi.

After a lot of hours of charging and trying the device won't boot. I've been searching high and low for information about cold flashing my N9, but I have only found good information for the N900.

This is what I do to cold flash it:
Code:
user$ sudo flasher -f -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1-958_ARM.bin --flash-only=nolo -c
flasher 3.12.1 (Oct  5 2011) Harmattan

From this I draw the conclusion that the battery is fine and the USB port is also OK, but I have run out of tests to bring it back to life.

Can anyone point me to a good source of information about this 'cold flashing' stuff? As I said before I tried the info available here for the N900 but the flasher has different options....

Regards.
