Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

After factory reset I discovered my Nokia comes from Sweden.
I'm in the UK so I downloaded files from
https://archive.org/download/RM696/
Can I safely flash it? I don't want to end up with a brick.
EDIT: I can't. Downgrade disallowed

One is rootfs and the other is emmc

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

And Maps are on emmc?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Trouble is that map data on EMMC image is older than last available 00.02.54.223 so you need to update it manually with data from here:
http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/Maps.php

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Hi

I installed the maps from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/Maps.php onto my recommissioned N9 and they work beautifully!

Has anyone got any idea how to update the root certificates?

When I use the certificate installed on the UI, there is no option to install, just verify what the certificate will be used to validate.

When i checked the filesystem, /etc/ssl/certs is owned by ageis/cryptfs so i cant drop the certs in and try a manual update...

Thanks

Durney

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Thread hijacking.
But afair the installation of certs was only possible with an open kernel (or maybe I am wrong).
I do not remember the command but something like cacert or similar can be used...

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Apologies
Getting the certs installed is part of the recommissioning process for me but duly noted!

Hello guys, my n9 on youtube cant rendering the high quality mode. when ı click on hq it still rendering low quality of videos. do you have any idea about this?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

It rumors that acmcli (aegis hacked devices) or filebox can do.

Installing Security Certificates
n9. add new certificate?

Edit: how to remove certificates:

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Thanks from my daughter whos recommissioned Juiceme N9 will be able to serve even more now.
I was too lazy to dig myself. Utmost thanks for the time saver!

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

No problem, I didn't know that juiceme is giving gems away.:)
Maybe when I have some time I will look for newer openssl.

Does somebody has the source code from snowshoe mobile browser and the used qt5 source code?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Well, when he visited i gave him a 2010 WeTab Meego Tablet
he was not aware existed. So we trade gems among friends ;)

The N9 came somewhat disassembled because Juice was so kind to even send me the better screen of two he had.
I took the opportunity to let her install her first new battery into a phone and went through some of the setup with her. That was some good way to get her thinking into the right direction, communication wise :)
She now is an avid emailer, all her friends have decent mail-adresses now on her request.
And she even holds the phone correct when calling \o/

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Amazing :p

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

I created a new aegis-certman-common-ca with the pem files from latest maemo5 certs (cssu-devel) except the expired ones.

It will keep all certs which are similar and removes standard certs which are not included in maemo. I think selfimported certificates should not be effected.

If this package can't be installed it is because it is obviously not signed by "com.nokia.maemo". So if you want to try it out and it couldn't get installed on you system then you need for example:

aegis install hack *I don't know if this one breaks installations

and install with:
Maybe don't do it on your daily phone.

Effected folders:
/usr/share/aegis-certman-common-ca
/var/lib/aegis/certs/common-ca

You can save a list from current installed certificates with this command:
Sadly I have only a list after installation :) I will attach it as text file.

You could find all certificates which will be removed in the "aegis-certman-common-ca.postinst" script, which resides in the debian folder of that package.

Please report if you face any issues.
In case if there is a version problem, I made the same updated package with the previous version numbering aegis-certman-common-ca_1.0.8+0m8_all.deb

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Hi,

I have a problem - someone sent trying to send me a sms message with emoji icon and it didn't arrive to me - for example from Huawei Android 9 :(

anyone can help?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Have you looked at Emojifix - after installation of harmoji_0.6.6_armel.deb
need to install ibsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel.deb and
libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel-mod.deb from here via Terminal:
https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=132

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

How to get Emojifix and harmoji? :)

Firstly I want to receive sms from Android phones ;)

As you posted I understood it in this way:

1) Emojifix
2) harmoji
3) libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel.deb
4) libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel-mod.deb

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Harmoji is Harmattan implementation of Emoji:
https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/harmoji

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

OK, I just have installed the Harmoji. What next?

These 2 libsms to install or something else?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Yes. As described in above post link.
You will need aegis-dpkg or be in open mode.

I guess you will need some more reading about N9, Linux, Harmattan, aegis, open mode kernel (ubiboot)...

Here is another start point:
https://wiki.maemo.org/Resurrect_your_N9

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

I installed hack-installer_1.0.10_armel.deb · 571,75 KB from

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750

then tried to open lbsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel.deb and this is error like this: it cannot be installed. Incorrect installation package

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Again: more verbosity, please.

What is meant by 'open'? Just tapping on it?
Bad download, wrong size of deb file, lots of other possibilities...

Do you have the devel-su (terminal) ???

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Sorry.

Yes, I open the deb file by finger and there was an error info.

Secondly, I tried this command in terminal:

aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb where lib1.deb is a just shorter name of downloaded file, but it shown must run as root :(

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Yes.
And this is what I meant by 'there is need of reading' :)

N9 is a Linux terminal beast (if you wanted it to be).
And to resurrect it in 2019 you need it as a terminal beast to install/configure. Afterwards you might use it as a 'smart phone'.

To get root on N9 you may use 'devel-su' and the default password of hmmm
I just do not recall, so best guess 'root' (but a fast search here will reveal).

But watch out: as root user you may also destroy a lot!

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

devel-su + password, then:

aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb

then shown:

Aegis rejecting lib1.deb: Could not open debian archive
aegis aborting dpkg -- all listed package files rejected
Compilation failed in require

;(

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

You might like to look at this resource for some Terminal basics:
https://iotgadgets.com/2011/10/enabl...e-11-nokia-n9/

Before typing "aegis-dpkg -i lib1.deb" in Terminal did you specify where to look for it e.g. cd /home/user/MyDocs/?

Presumably by now you have found after devel-su to type default password rootme?

You did apply point (2) at start of thread Settings > Applications >
Installations and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources' ?

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

You Guys ROCK!!! :eek:

Now I receive from android phone all smses with its emoticons!

THANK YOU!

BTW. honestly - after first launching I was a bit dissapointed. Now I love this phone :)

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

And you will love it even more :)
But be aware there may come another (or two) hurdles :D

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Hallo Peterleinchen,
I'm wondering in 2020: Does internet browsing work? With which app? Does Telegram or Whatsapp work? does youtube work?

I dont have an N9 but thinkinh about getting a cheap used one
"zum rumbasteln"

thanks

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Browsing on N9 is a PITA as a lot certificates are old and deprecated. Furthermore the default browser does not support newer TLS. So a lot of sites will not work (@halftux made some improvements 'zum rumbasteln', so it may be possible).
TBH I used N9 in OpenMode and with stock browser as long as possible but then went sailing...
So maybe Opera may work better (another ddiscussion here on TMO ongoing).

WhatsApp impossible
Telegram may work in a CLI version (@halftux)
youtube I do not know, but there was also some discussion ongoing (but it might be related to N900). I used stock browser at my time ;)

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

I can confirm that Youtube with the stock browser still works. Although Youtube only provides the very lowest quality to the device. Gmail does also work.

Google has now announced multiple times to drop TLS 1.1, and have silently missed the announced dates, but the day may still come at any time.

Most recent functionality loss was the Fahrplan app by smurfy. The German public transport site bahn.de now enforces TLS 1.2 and I can't search connections anymore.

I am still using my N9 daily as companion phone for Music, reading, videos and light browsing.

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

I'd imagine the same trick could be used that reportedly works on N900; run a caching https proxy on the device and route all traffic thru it.

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

I think so too that it should work, only to get new openssl running could be a problem. But with libressl and nginx, why not. Then also fahrplan should work again.

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Hi i suddenly cant open Openrepos.net on my N9 Stock browser anymore. until a few days ago it was very easy and smooth to open the website and download apps on my phone. ideas what went wrong?

internet connection is fine, i can still open other websites

and i can still access openrepos with MeeFox browser and download apps from there

If you look at these two posts you will find an explanation:

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Yeah, openrepos don't work any more with the stock browser. That also means, for freshly flashed devices, one cannot download essential apps like n9repomirror or aegishack any more. Have to download on another device and transfer the file to n9 by Bluetooth, and launch installer through n9s transfers ui.

On another topic, there exist an Yandex map application for n9 which works fine, both online satellite and maps view are available, though there are placenames displayed in both local and Cyrillic scripts.

Nobody asked it, but here's a copy :)

MAPS on Nokia N9 in 2020
 

I spent literally all day on my "new" made in Finland 64GB Nokia N9 - my goal is to have it as my main/daily phone.

Biggest problem was how to get any sort of maps&directions running in 2020?

NOTE: I dont drive so i need maps just to know how to get from A to B, e.g. walking in a town i have never been in before. If anyone knows how to get GPS running in opera that would be amazing.

No clue how to get the nokia drive or maps running. so, sort of easy workaround:

Once you get Opera 12 on the N9, you can use https://www.mapsdirections.org on there for either directions in text form or also graphically presented. For best performance get to the settings of Opera 12, then got to advanced settings and switch to DESKTOP user agent.

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

For 'maps' and 'drive' the configuration files in /home/user/.config/Nokia needs to be edited.

My Drive.ini
My Maps.conf
Bold lines are important, howto's here in talk.maemo somewhere.

Then grab old Nokia maps from here: maps.tienda-sistore.com/Maps.php

Or install marble_1.3.3_armel.deb and monav-routing-daemon_0.3.release-1_armel.deb
I haven't tested directions in Marble, yet, but openstreetmaps tiles load well in it.

Also, Meerun app still works if you want to record your routes. Though, i had a 1900km car drive just few days ago, meerun was recording fine the whole time, but then i managed to crash the app anyway by repeated tapping on the STOP button. Later discovered, the button had to be slided up.

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

Thanks to veeall..............you are the only person on planet meego that has pointed out that you can just transfer deb files with blue tooth from another phone.:eek:..it may seem simple but it's the answer to all or most of the problems peeps are having with their Nokia N9 issues. :)

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018
 

+1. I updated accordingly the Resurrect_your_N9 wiki as well : for the very first installations of the very required tools (N9repomirror, N9Qtweak ...etc), I suggest to transfer files with BlueTooth.
