Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Thanks, looks useful :)
so should I use those same "N950" marked files for N9, will it do no harm, yes?

Yup those N950 files are fine for the N9 and they will put your phone into open mode so I think just chrooting in should be sufficient to remove the lock as CAL is locked in open mode and device lock doesn't work though I haven't tried it myself in such a situation...

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

hm, I'm not so skilled to know how to perform it all, but surely will look for some guides. Thanks. hope It'll work for me then.

robthebold,

Have you tried cold-flashing the device? I think its with a -c flag; put both the rootfs and emmc in one command too and try...

I have the same problem as robthebold.

For cold flashing, I have to write

Code:

flasher -c -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data

instead of

Code:

flasher -f -F main.bin -F emmc.bin --erase-user-data

am I right?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

mihkel,

Yup but you can remove the --erase-user-data flag I think...

It didn't show the usual flashing sequence. Is that normal?
Phone still doesn't turn on.

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

Can you try it without the --erase-user-data flag?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

@ thedead1440 one more question, how can I chroot that device if I have mounted its filesystems on the PC? anyway, I have like really no idea what to do after mounting those filesystems. lost in searching of internet.

Also maybe you can try unmounting and booting; does it still ask for lock code now that the device is in open mode?

Re: [HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9

I have not mounted it yet, but that's the part I think I can make myself, so I was asking further. Then I'll need to found what files stand for contacts, messages, notes and call log in system :)
