My phone got stuck in a reboot deadloop (stopping eventually w/ a "too many reboots" error) after doing (too many) things with it :
  • Installing busybox-power
  • Installing bash
  • Changing hostname in /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
I've been looking all over the forums, but every readme, howto or wiki page mentions obsolete links ! I understand that I need two files, main.bin and emmc.bin to flash but I cannot find them anywhere to save my life..! Please help ; what would be wonderful is a step-by-step with working links... I use Debian Linux (but have access to a virtual Windows machine)

Thanks a lot everybody.

EDIT - OK I found the images here now I'm looking for the flasher, can anybody help ? Is this the same binary that I used way back w/ my N900 ?
EDIT2 - Found the flasher here.
EDIT3 - Flashed main.bin, didn’t help :

OK, so

What to do with a deadlooping N9 ?

Code:
wget http://goo.gl/7iiCr7 -o main.bin
wget http://goo.gl/3ldPSz  -o emmc.bin
wget http://www.swagman.org/juic/flasher_3.12.1_i386.deb && sudo dpkg -i flasher_3.12.1_i386.deb
sudo flasher -f -F  -o main.bin -F emmc.bin --flash-only=mmc
sudo flasher -R

And with this brand new N9 ?

  1. First, enable developer mode. It install stuff and reboots.
  2. Open "Terminal" (and set the "toolbar" to "arrows") then quit it and re-launch it.
  3. Add repositories
Code:
echo 'deb http://harmattan.openrepos.net/Schturman personal main'   > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openrepos-Schturman.list
echo 'deb http://harmattan.openrepos.net/rzr personal main'   > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openrepos-rzr.list
Add the openrepos key
Code:
wget -O - http://harmattan.openrepos.net/openrepos.key | apt-key add -
apt-get update
Install sys utils
Code:
apt-get install openssh bash zsh vim git
Install stuff
Code:
apt-get install filebox warehouse ovp theflashlight codecam sunvox
Log in as user and customize (kituu is my env (aliases, commands, old fart habits) that I run - and sync - on all my machines. Check it out and fork it.)
Code:
cd && git clone https://github.com/xaccrocheur/kituu.git .kituu && .kituu/scripts/kituu-setup.sh
