be relax, cos its easy, try again and pray,

Maybe I was celebrating too soon. Everything is working fine, except now I can't get 3G coverage. The phone only works is GSM mode (calls, sms and internet). If I change to 3G I can' get access to the network, so no possibility of making / receiving calls, sms, fast internet. And it's the same in the "double mode"

Would appreciate help.

flash cmt only from your old fw file

In Navifirm I get 14 files for the firmware and there are 2 with CMT on the title:

RM696_059L7Z9_cmt_ccc_v2.bin
RM696_059L7Z9_cmt_hwct_v2.bin

I should flash both these files only, from my previous FW, right?

Sorry for the basic questions, Noob here :|

Thanks

I think it's better to use normal flash image with flash-only=cmt option. Of course I can be wrong.
Your problem is very interesting. Are you sure that flashing process ended without any errors?
Can it be that flashing branded locked phone with generic image caused this situation?
I followed steps from this thread and my N9 works great. The only difference is that my device doesn't have simlock (was removed with code).

I don't know what happened but suddenly the phone got 3G coverage and now everything seems to be working fine - phone calls, sms, fast internet. Double mode also works fine. Strange but weird

The only logic explanation seems that, by coincidence, at that same time, Orange here in Warsaw had some problems in the network causing this issue. So it was never the phone. I don't know. But I am happy that everything is fine.

The flash went fine, no errors as you can see from the image I saved


So I will give the phone some more days before declaring "flash done". But everything seems good.

Thanks a lot for all the input.

Hi guys,

Forgive me having to ask for help, but I am stuck trying to find the correct image for my phone. I am trying to Zeroize my n9 as needed in my thread but I cannot seem to find an image compatible to flash with. Currently the handset is stuck on the nolo screen

My model is: RM-696 NDT SINGAPORE BLACK 64GB 059J239

Version of '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.

As you may have read in my thread, there is a warranty issue and I would be looking at the possibility of returning this, can anyone help with providing the location of a suitable image?

Sorry to bump again guys, but I am still trying to find a compatible firmware for my n9.

I hate to sound whiny, but I do have the warranty issue still pending with my screen fault and ATM I am stumped? I understand that I have to use a higher firmware version but can't find it

Here is the last attempt of flashing... (hopefully an eagle eyed user may spot) something?)

You would not believe how many images I have tried.

Thank you for a really excellent guide! However, i'm having a problem.

I own a swedish (339) N9 and since i re-flashed it (due to some problems with the gallery). It looses the 3G connection from time to time. The flash itself worked perfectly. No error messages or nothing. Before the lest flash i didn't have that problem at all. I've tried to perform the "--flash-only=cmt" flash using the older image. But that doesn't work. It won't flash. And it seems strange to me that this problem appears now. I mean, i updated to 1.2 NSU when it was released without any problems. Does anybody have any idea how i could solve this?

Thnx

Hello all. I have looked in many forums and tried so many times to unbrick my N9, but haven't been successful.
My problem started when I issued the "Clear Device" option (my phone was perfectly ok before this, I just wanted to clear personal information). I left the phone working and when i checked back after 30 mins or so, all I could see is "Nokia" on a black screen, nothing happened, so I turned off and on the phone several times, until I realized something was wrong, my phone wasn't working, and I needed to flash it. I had never flashed it before.
I used navifirm to get the firmware for my actual product code (059L698) and winflash to flash it. I have tried on 3 different computers (32bit and 64bit), and downloaded the firmware file twice on different computers. It didn't work.

I haven't found any solution or similar error anywhere. I have also tried several other firmwares (with higher variants, mine es 299) and in all those cases I got the downgrade error

This is the error sequence I get.
