I'm already downloading firmwares I might need, just in case.

very nice. i just used this thread to save my phone from a terrible reboot loop. i did something wrong on quick tweak when i tried to change the font color of the time and date on the status menu. i didn't know that i had to prepare a numeric value for my desired color. so when i pressed enter without putting in a number, thinking it would cancel and exit out, instead it went into a never ending reboot loop. that's what happens when you disregard all the warnings and turn on developer mode having no clue what's flying. well it's all in good fun and ii haven't learned my lesson yet cause i am still at it. by the way some parts of the instructions were kind of unclear and I'M not sure how i even pulled it of anyhow. sometimes i think you guys purposely don't explain some things in order to deter ppl like me from geting involved. well praise the lord and thanks for the info.

I need help i cant flash my nokia n9 Im having some errors but I dont know what to do please help

Goodness me is that ^^^ another example of flash memory failing

That's like what the 5th or 6th device on this thread with flash memory failed?

That memory flash problem can be fixed

Via Nokia Care? If so yes I've seen it being fixed; if via software please share

Last three times i resetted/flashed it didnt help my problem. All graphics to the clock/alarm app is missing and in the clock i only se moving squares. I flashed 1st time with standard firmware file, second time i made reset from phone and last time with nsu. Now i downloaded the EMMC file and are thinking of trying it. Is there a more simple way since this is the only issue and perhaps the fact that facebook dont show up in 'feed screen'. Otherwise ill try the EMMC tonight.I think i will have to rebuy alot of apps this time tho, if its true that you can only install them five times.

shma,

N9QTweak offers an option to save your downloaded apps as .deb files... Also in terminal you can do:
osa --get PKG_NAME > PKG_NAME.deb

this would package your store app as a .deb and you can install it after flashing...

Great thanks for the tip

Today I did the Fixing MALF state again.

This time there was a 40 byte /var/malf file with the line:

I deleted it and unmounted the volumes.

Still not booting. No vibrate, no screen . . .

Ideas?
