Thanks guys, you all have been most helpful My handset was a Singapore model so may have to get over the language barrier with that one too

Funny thing is, since around 22:00 last night it has been stable with no faults at all? I have also been trying to give it a good bashing too by downloading apps, repeatedly opening and closing apps, using maps (not left the house cos I have no microsim), playing games and leaving the Bord (chalk board) app open to see if there are any input/movement happening on screen. It seems still ATM.

It is now currently charging with the n900 cable right now as the other thread I read found an issue only when charging. Anyhoo, it is the weekend and I won't be able to much on a Saturday night so will watch it over the next 48hours.

Will keep you posted.

Update: Over the weekend the phone was behaving itself for the most part, with only a few instances where the screen started to twitch slightly and once where I had to reboot the device. Nothing as bad as the video though.

In that time though I have been reading through the warranty & support and found that Nokia (Singapore) do not support handsets bought outside of the country of origin I also checked denmark as well who also would not recognise the device online.

I have also been studying the flasher guides as to how to zeroise the handset but unfortunately I have hit a snag... For some reason it won't accept the allowed firmware for the model number and is now in a state of flux showing the error [Pipe 0] Finishing in error state with status 10 according to the last attemp

It won't boot again and won't load any further than the Nolo screen even after trying 4 different firmware versions for it. I am now trying some of the other methods mentioned in the thread (different region and then phoenix?).

Oh well, my next image has downloaded now. Time to try again and over to the other topic. Wish me luck

Update time:

Well it has taken me a whole week to flash my n9 and had some success last night. I finally found an MEA image that was able to make the n9 wake up but the relating emmc would not work for some reason? So far the handset does boot up ok and is useable but will not recognise the mass storage so the camera and any other functions that depend on the emmc will not work.

As a good sign so far, in a whole days use I have yet to encounter the erratic screen problem. Only time will tell I suppose, and it has not lasted this long without a glitch before.

But still I have an issue zeroizing my phone. My model is: RM-696 NDT SINGAPORE BLACK 64GB 059J239

The software Version stated when I run flasher -i is: 'sw-release': DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_006

However there is no 30.2012.07-1_PR_006 for my device origin that I can see and other firmwares keep giving me the downgrade error. For me to even start enquiring about returning this, it will need to be succesfully flashed.

If anyone can give me some advice, I would be very grateful to for a reply.

Thank you

I had the same problem a while back, screen was going nuts, opening apps, zooming in/out etc etc. Turned out to be caused by a 3rd party app. After a reflash the problem disappeared

try flashing refurbish using phoenix..

Yeah? You don't recall what that app was do you?

I will admit, I have reflashed again but having now lost the contents of MyDocs I am going round in circles lol

This is one hell of a lesson in n9 that I am having, haha

Thanks for the tip mate, now that I have found my working images I can try different flashing methods

It was the Quicktweak app that's on this forum that caused the problem

Thank for the info mate That may explain why I was ok for a good while before I noticed it happening? I had already started to play with a ton of apps and had many downloads at once, so did not see the correlation?



@malibu1106: Hope you are still reading this thread? I received your PM but could not reply back due to a message saying "you cannot receive or have disable messages".

I may not be the most knowledgeable person on the forum to ask ATM, as you can tell from this thread, but I'm good for moral support If you would like to reply in this thread, I can share what I know.


Thank you for your responses everyone, your help is very appreciated. I know I will have mores questions to come, so apologies in advance

Yeah i was convinced that it was a hardware fault - took the phone to Nokia 3 times.... but as it turned out, it was definitely that app, as whenever i ended up installing it, the problem would occur

It probably isn't the app *itself* as many people use it successfully, it could be how that app interacts with other installed components.

But yeah, if you don't install it at all then you won't have the problem
