Hi Guys, Got my N9 from ebay - worked very well on day 1. Now its dead. When I charge the Nokia logo shows up and then the battery sign with the exclamation mark. Thats it.

I thought it was a battery problem - so I downloaded the latest firmware and tried to charge the battery through flasher.

The Battery says - its a 100%.And the flasher gave me a message saying "Downgrade Not Allowed"

Checked the firmware through flasher -i and I get DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.335.1_PR_335

I have tried the Chinese Firmware and the 001 firmware so far - Both gave me the same errors.

I have tried these 2 firmwares:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM
DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3_PR_LEGACY_003-OEM1-958_ARM

Any help trying to revive my N9?

P.S. : I was trying to get my contacts through Bluetooth to N9 when the phone went kaput

Hi there,

I thought I did a "successful" firmware flash on my phone but the screen STAYS BLANK when I start it up.. any ideas?

Current status:

1. I made sure to re-imaged with the correct bin corresponding to my phone model (059K114)

2. Power = 70% (according to what flasher says when I re-image)

3. I have tried enabling rd mode - no change - the LED light blinks like mad initially then changes rates over time so "something" is happening..

4. it doesn't do that quick vibration like it used too when i turn it on..

I've tried my best to search for another option BEFORE posting but I've run out of options.. THANKS in advance!

Hi Guys,

I am now at a total loss how to resolve this.

I received the phone a couple days back. I was using it normally when it suddenly stopped.

I found out the Firmware in my phone to be:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.335.1_PR_335

I downloaded the firmware from the links and started the flashing - nothing works. I get interrupted between 37-44% . I have tried the cold flash as well - does the same thing.

The error I am getting is this:
ERROR: ReadFile(65540) GetOverlappedResult() error 2 timeout 19975 ms
ERROR: WriteFile(0 of 14) timeout (5000 ms); tried 14

Fetching error list:
ERROR: WriteFile(0 of 28) timeout (5000 ms); tried 28
ERROR: WriteFile(0 of 10) timeout (5000 ms); tried 10

Please can anyone help. If it helps I got the phone off ebay and it has 059M7K1 in the Sim tray.

DO NOT COLDFLASH when your device does not need it!
Coldflashing is solely to restore a broken bootloader, and obviously your bootloader isn't broken since it boot up to display stuff on screen and even starts flashing procedure. If it was broken then your device would act _really_ bricked and not show any sign of life (except BOOTROM "hello" via USB, that gets detected by flasher). ONLY THEN you should consider coldflashing - after you made sure it's not your battery that's defect.

It's not like coldflashing could do massive harm to your device since you can repeat it under nearly all circumstances (unlike flashing BIOS of your PC, which might render your motherboard bricked when you abort it), but definitely it won't usually fix anything for you, and just may introduce another level of failure cause that complicates things even further.

on the errors you encounter: try a better USB cable and a different port on your PC, those errors *might* be simple data corruption on USB protocol.

/j

ok I have changed the USB Cable - I have tried 2 different computers. But I have the same problem. Any other ideas?

Do I have any choice guys? Please respond.

Should I take this to Nokia Care? I would be charged for this but I am ok with it, as long as they fix it.

Are you from India?
DO NOT take N9 to Nokia care, many nokia care guys hardly have any idea about N9. They will tell very high service charge and will not be confident of fixing it.

Could someone possibly help me?

I'm unable to flash to UK or Aus or Denmark FW 001, 299 or 340 variants.

Here is my log attached:

Nevermind! Was being stupid / dyslexic and had downloaded 249 variant. Managed to flash fine with 299

Whenever I plus in my n9 it always comes on, how can I reflash like this? It comes on and stays at the Nokia screen.
