So I installed sailfish today... the OS was a bit unusable... typing and stuff was horrible. Couldn't stick with it.. wanted to go back to MeeGo. To my dismay I found out that meego is reporting that the sim is invalid.

I've been trying to flash/repartition the thing since then, though unsuccessful. I've tried everything that's been told here.
1)I can't get gparted/parted to show all partitions on N9
2) unable to flash/cold flash
3) referred to http://www.thegadgetfreak.net/2012/0...ioning-n9.html, no help. The N950 recovery files don't end up mounting the partitions. my N9 just freezes in the scary boot note.

Any other bright ideas any one?

[EDIT] : Ignore this post. the answer was "--no-preserve"
