IMPORTANT: First, make sure you have restored your partitions to their original state! I also had Nemo installed on a partition between MyDocs (sdX1), and harmattan rootfs (sdX2). I recreated the MyDocs partition with gparted, but the update still bricked my phone. Did you touch the rootfs or the home partition? Make sure that your MyDocs partition starts at sector 1024. My problem was caused because gparted always creates partitions starting from 2048. After I recreated it with parted, flashing went fine.
AFAIK the MyDocs partition of a 64GB should start at 1024 and end at 112672767, otherwise flashing WILL fail. If this is not what you have, you have to recreate the partition using command-line parted -- let me know and I'll provide you with specific instructions.

IIRC, you need to provice both the firmware image and the EMMC image to the flasher utility. Look at the first post in this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81579

in the partition table mismatch the values are (start=112672768, sum=112663845)

in ubunutu only MyDocs and rootfs partitions are now detected. could you help me with instructions on how to locate the missing partition.

thanks.

1. load the n950 rescue image and initrd with flasher
2. open up a terminal and type the following commands:
3. Post output here...

From the looks of it, It seems like the mismatch occurs in your rootfs partition, which is not good. After I have the output from parted, I'll try to figure out how to fix this.

Very stupid question perhaps - how did you manage to go from navifirm to getting http links out..?

Reason I ask: last time around (for PR1.1) I tried downloading at work - but it sucked the whole bandwidth of the site (outsourced networking, to the lowest bidder for sure, so QoS is not properly done and VoIP was the only thing somewhat still working). Then I tried downloading at home (50Mb/s connection) but my work Windows machine is rigged to only allow IE on direct internet connections - all others (incl FF) must go through the company VPN.... Oh and at home I have only Linux on my own machines, tried to get Navifirm working on Wine to no avail...

Select only the 2 files (Ctrl Z deselects all the files) you want to download, then right click and Copy selected URL's to clipboard

thanks for your help

could anyone advice on what is wrong with the output i've posted and how to take corrective action on it?

thanks in advance!!!

hi i've added a gparted screenshot of the exact number of partitions

Ok.. the good news is that your rootfs (Number 2) partition data is correct. I cannot verify your home partition data (Number 3), because I can't find my partition data from before I installed Nemo (and I cannot boot into recovery mode to check my current parted output, because after PR 1.2 it voids warranty)
What I can say for sure is that your MyDocs partition (Number 1), needs to be recreated with the proper size. Here are the detailed instructions:

again, boot up the phone into service mode. Then, issue the following commands (as root):set partition type to be "primary", and filesystem type to be "fat32"
start = 1024s
end = 112672767s
(if it complains about performance, ignore it)
then set the lba flag and exit parted:
and recreate the MyDocs partition
Problem Solved! (at least for the first patition)


EDIT: from your screenshot, it seems that your home partition (Number 3) is also shot. I will need detailed information on the unallocated spaces around /dev/sdb3 - right click on them in gparted, and tell me the start and end sectors of each of the two.
