Hi there all, I have an urgent problem.

I recently upgraded to MEA PR1.3. Id been running European PR1.2.

Today I got into reboot loop after updating MT-Toggles plugins. I tried to reflash but I get "downgrade disallowed" error!

I tried with Australian PR1.3 Firmware too, same error!

HELP! (please)

I need my phone!

Ive found the problem, I had a PR006 MEA firmware, I thought I tried that one already!!

Well nice you solved it

Regards Dousan...

Try with the swicerland 009 to flash...then after it download the other european the 001 or so, but don't weist your time on downgrade as that option is blocked!

After my OTA upgrade to 1.3 I am stuck with the reboot loop also.

When I try to flash with the firmware indicated in the forums:

DFL61_HARMATTAN_40_2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_009-OEM1-958_ARM.bin

I get the "downgrade disallowed" error:

ERROR: Failed to flash images

you are getting downgrade disallowed as you are on pr009 but trying to flash using pr001

pls use pr009 or higher variants to flash....


Edit: Just saw you are actually updating from pr1.2 (009) to pr1.3 (001)...it shouldnt be affected by the difference in variant...sorry for the mislead earlier...

anyway i think your .bat file might be an issue here...

could you do a simple command as follows:
copy your Fw file to c:\program files\nokia\flasher\
open cmd as admin
cd c:\program files\nokia\flasher
flasher -F NAME_OF_YOUR_FW -f -R

Never had to flash my N9 and didn't notice the 1. Thanks for the help, it looks like it's working now.

if it doesn't, though, I'll be back here
