Thank you. Could you explain how you know this? The code on the sim tray is 059J260 not 059J231.

The N9 won't boot because the flash failed.

Best guess, you need this one (seems you have middle east FW on the device)

If you look here http://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing_N9 you will see variant 006 is middle east version FW.
Sp, simply search on all firmwares on mrcrabb, and locate one that have "006" in filename. Size and color doesnt matter really.

Note that the number on the simtray indicates only what variant of the firmware was *originally* shipped with the phone.
Because it's possible to flash a variant with a higher revision number than the existing one (as explained at top of the thread) and because the simtray may have been swapped with a different one, it's not reliable to use the simtray number to guess the firmware variant.
If you want to know the existing firmware version, use the flasher command with option -i .
Anyway in your flashing attempt the first thing flasher has done is spell out the device identification, i.e. what your device currently is/has:

Hi guys.
I am wondering how secure the secure erase feature really is. I flashed my phone using the --erase-user-data=secure option but the whole process only took a few minutes. Is it any different from standard Windows quick formatting? Does it really make it impossible (or at least difficult) to recover erased data? An why did it only need such a short time to complete? The guide states that "it will take a very long time" but I've heared from other users that securely flashing their phones also took only a few minutes.
Cheers.

As for why it is cited to take a long time and it actually takes less than that; few minutes is actually awfully long time.
It also depends on whether you have a 16G or 64G device, it takes 4 times longer to erase the larger device.
