flasher -i will tell you current firmware and you can just see from there what to use.

Re: Nokia N9 Product Code
 

When I do flasher.exe -i, I get DFL1_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.454.6_PR454, how can I check and choose a release that will work for me? The one I have says "downgrade disallowed".

Kindly assist.

thanks.
Fred.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Here's something very strange. I have an N9 that I bought here in Mexico. [The glass is damaged and is the reason I ordered the other two phones from China.] The SIM card holder says it is an 059L449. The QR code on the device confirms that it is an 059L449. But identifies it's firmware as generic Latin America: DF61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3 PR 001, not the product code variant of DFL61 HARMATTAN 40.2012.21-3.420.4 PR 420 for the N9 RM-696 Telcel MX MX Black V3.
About 6 months ago, I tried to get Telcel (Evil Carlos Slim corp) to unlock the SIM and they couldn't do it. So, I took the phone to someone who had an ATF dongle and used a service to brute force the code. I know that they didn't download or install another firmware. How did the phone change (downgrade) to a generic FW?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Thats easy: they changed from PR1.2(or older) 420 variant to PR1.3 001, as its not downgrading if you upgrade from PR1.[0-2] to PR1.3 001, even if you 'downgrade' virtually, but in fact PR1.3 001 has newer timestamp than any PR1.[0-2] variant.

PS. There is also an exploit for non-003 variants that could be in theory used to downgrade even PR1.3 variants back to 001, but that doesn't help on your 003 cmt devices.

Well atleast you could ofcourse exchange china bricks working display to your 001 version :).

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9
 

Well, thanks again to everyone that helped me with my flashing. I flashed the Australian Vodafone FW to a country variant of Australia. from PR 249 to PR 299. The Vodafone splash screen went away and no more Vodafone icon in the application list, but the SIM card still doesn't want to work. I put a piece of paper behind the card (made for a tight squeeze to get the holder back out). Yet, the phone still doesn't see the SIM. No error. No nothing. Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hi rainisto, downloaded the firmware file and this happened;
1. The flash was successful (Windows 8) but on starting, I still had some texts, calls, some pop-ups for N9Qtweak were still active. (when I do a firmware flash, am I not supposed to loose even the messages.
2. Upon noticing the above, I flashed the firmware and the emmc and somehow, everything was cleared but the problem that led me to flashing is still there - camera not responding, even after enabling the gps from settings. Says, 'camera is reserved by another application'

Any idea how I can stop GPS completely and/or get the camera to work.

Thanks for your continued support.

Regards,
Fredrick.

Re-read what rainisto wrote:
So it seems it was exactly as he thought: the phone was a Chinese variant phone at the beginning.

Re: Nokia N9 Product Code
 

kindly, since this firmware n emmc flash I did didn't fix the.issues at hand, am thinking mayb there's a new release for my version, and if not, pls recommend an upgrade doable for my version.

I have no idea on how to check.

If you have a broken device no matter what you will flash on it can fix it. You will need to change the broken hardware.
