I did as follows:

"flasher -f -F main.bin --erase-user-data=secure -F emmc.bin --erase-mmc=secure" (no quotes)

When this has started, you have 2 options:
1a - either CTRL+Z (Linux) or kill cmd.exe and flasher.exe with Task Manager (WIndows).
1b - Pull out the cable from the phone when the tasks have been killed

or

2 - Just pull out the cable when the phone is zeroising.

After this, turn the phone off and then on. You will get a message saying "Install an Authorised Operating System".

Turn off the phone and run:
""flasher -F main.bin -F emmc.bin -f""

And the phone should accept it and start flashing.

Like I have said, I have done it a few times and not noticed any issues (albeit theoretically it could damage the flash memory) but it may allow you to flash unsigned kernels.

Thanks for the tip.
One more thing to be sure: you "pull the cable/kill cmd.exe" right after the flash start, or you just pull it before flash end? (no matter which % is)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)

I'm also a windows user (yeah, yeah...blerg) who is stuck at the flashing moslo part. Everything up till that point is flawless, but at that step the flasher gives me errors like "bad initfs format in initrd-moslo" and "FIASCO ERROR: initrd-moslo: no such file or directory". I downloaded the moslo.rpm and used 7-zip to extract it, getting only a .cpio file with the same name as the .rpm package had. I put that in the flasher folder and tried to use the command listed...but to no avail.

Would anyone have a work around or suggestion?

jinnn_1989, this is all I've saved around for MOSLO. Check if you find what you are looking for: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4uxoiasfdp42ou0/IA3xRZd7yK

dont think you can use windoze to extract the moslo image :)
you can use a live-cd to boot off and flash using that.
For live-cd, i recomend either burning a cd, or use unetbootin, to create a bootable USB Stick with some linux distribution.

I don't know what to do next through, I'm currently at flashing MOSLO kernel and the RootFS and Alt OS is exported via USB and I can't see it (because of Windows, yeah), my PC prompts me to format my N9 in order to use it. Is there any alternate way to proceed this step?

PS: I don't have any Linux PC

As stated already there is only one way then:

boot harmattan and copy tar.bz2 file to /home/user/MyStuff/Documents (the only partition Winblows will see X:/Documents or something...)

When uploaded: open terminal on your n9:

and write:

Code:

devel-su

mount /dev/mmcblkp4 /mnt

cd /mnt

tar --numeric-owner -xjvf /home/user/MyStuff/Documents/sailfish-filename.tar.bz2

cd ..

umount /mnt

sync  # wait some seconds...

exit

Now reboot device

Notice this is only valid if you have partitioned the device and using uubiboot as described before... I take no responsibility if you break the phone

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)

I've upgraded to 1.0.1.10, battery indicator now works on N950 :D Swipes still rotated though.

The upgrade process is by changing the URLs of the repos in ssu.ini to 1.0.1.10, then doing ssu ur, zypper ref and finally zypper up. However that fails as some packages are missing (this time more important ones). So, I manually upgraded all packages by copying the list from the upgrade info and doing zypper in list... and removing the missing packages one by one.

My thanks to all involved in this porting work. Outstanding job!

zypper dup
zypper in -t pattern nemo-n950-wayland
?
