Re: power button broken

P.S. the flasher mirror is dead

Where did you look? https://silma.tk/soft/

Did you try plugging it into the wall? I remember my N9 always turned on when I plugged it in.

Re: power button broken
 

Only if you have it in developer mode. By default it powers up in ACT_DEAD mode

Re: power button broken
 

That sounds familiar now that you mention it. One does wonder how an N9 could still be used in 2019 without developer mode enabled. I would imagine many tweaks or changes would have to be made that require developer mode.

Re: power button broken
 

I might confuse it but was it not like
N950 powers on when USB power connected
N9 dods not power on
N9 with R/D flag set by flasher.powers on

Again I might be wrong but it should not be dependent on the developer mode/shell.

Re: power button broken
 

You are absolutely right, what I meant was R&D mode, I mistankenly said "Developer Mode" as I forgot that developer mode was not enabled by default :p

Re: power button broken
 

last question how do i access develsh? asking cuz it says operation not permitted

Re: power button broken
 

Now you confuse me.
No one said anything about develsh, a special shell with some more capabilities than 'normal' root rights.
And you can only login to that after getting root by issuing 'devel-su'.

But again: why are you asking for "develsh"?

Re: power button broken
 

Cuz I wanna use Cal writer (it's the only way I know to successfully downgrade the n9)

Re: power button broken
 

Uh oh, dangerous operation that is. Especially if one does not know how to get to the starting point.

Activate developer mode in settings menu
Open the terminal from shell icon in app drawer
Get root with 'devel-su' and rootme as password (or yours)
Type 'develsh'
Happy bricking!

Why do you want to downgrade?

Re: power button broken
 

Yeah the problem is I already tried that before I asked it just says sh: develsh: Operation not permitted
As to your question of why I want to downgrade? The answer is simple I don't like pr003 I have successfully done it before in the past through http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99678 flashing 003 back didn't fix my cmt issue back then so i put my phone away in a box and recently rediscovered it wanting to repourpose it in some way and frankly would like to get back to 001 as it felt good

Re: power button broken
 

Oops, one thing coming to my mind. Which could be the cause.
You are most probably using the standard Nokia kernel?
As I used from the very beginning an open kernel!

So you can test and flash ubiboot kernel or just load it via flasher.
I am sure that is the reason. And I have no idea how to get around without open kernel...

But you can't overwrite Cal In openmode it locks rewriting cal
