And thats what it keeps doing, the phone is a nokia N9 16GB Black

Please help guys im ripping my hair out!!!!

Give the customer a new one.

Sorry, I can't help.

Please read the flashing thread again:
- You are using wrong flasher binary, 3.5 is for fremantle only. Use 3.12 for Harmattan.
- There is a difference between -F and -f
- You don't need to use --erase-mmc part.

Actually if you want to reset security code, then you are trying to flash the wrong image, you cannot reset security code with only mmc image, you need to flash the main image and append --erase-user-data=secure to the flashing command. Like this:

flasher -f --erase-user-data=secure -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.299.1_PR_LEGACY_299_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.SEAP.16_EMMC_SEAP.bin

That command takes some 10 minutes to run, but it should clear the security code. And don't use 3.5 version of the flasher, since that wont work.

thanks heaps mate for quick responce just waiting on the erase to finish now will let you no how it all went!!

and it worked great mate your are a true champion
