I am a new user, so if this posted in a wrong place, I am sorry. I have Nokia N9 16gb and my phone is not working properly anymore because of the following reasons:
- I used the app N9Tweaks to change some things. After a lot of modifications, I wanted to go back to factory setting so I did a reset through the settings. After this it didnt startup anymore.
- After this I tried flashing the firmware through harmattan flasher, but this failed because it always gives the error that I try to downgrade. I have meego 1.2.
- The I visited the following website and did this: http://www.allboutn9.info/2013/01/lo...lution_23.html, but I didnt do the flashing part. After this my phone could boot up.
- There were still these settings of N9Tweak app which I really wanted to delete, so what I did was very stupid: I erased the phone using Disk Utility (Mac application, I also use Ubuntu).

After this the phone starts up saying it doesnt work properly. I tried to reflash again, but flashing just doesnt work because of downgrade disallowed.

I really dont know what to do right, and I really want my N9 to live again. Please help me.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that after erasing my Nokia N9 with Disk Utility and formatted it, only flasher sees my Nokia N9, so after plugging in with the usb cable, Ubuntu and Mac OSX doesn't see it, only flasher can detect the Nokia N9.

You're probably trying to flash an older ROM.. Find the latest one available (I think it was PR 1.3 or something) and download and flash that..

Yes, but this is the one I flashed: http://www.mrcrab.net/nokia/Nokia_N9...n=40.2012.21.3
I didn't find any newer version than this one. If there is, could you post a link?

This thread has everything you need to know (Including how to figure out which firmware is right for you so you can avoid downgrading errors).

Thanks for the link, I installed wine and NaviFirmEx but I cannot find any firmware using that program. On the downloadpage of NaviFirmEx it says : ´´ATTENTION

Nokia was closed the server and not allowed public access.

NaviFirmEx won't work anymore!!!

I don't have the time to maintain this project anymore, sorry. ´´

Also when I click on the mirror for pr 1.3 downloads, it says that the server cannot be found. It seems that I just cannot find pr 1.3. Does someone have this firmware somewhere on his pc or laptop or has someone a link that works? I would appreciate it alot!

Yes, I used that one before, but I will try it one more time and let you know if it succeeded.
