You need to create the keys to the device like described in the comments in ubiboot.conf as the kays in the device "as default" are just for example.

i pressed the power button for more than 10 sec, then tried to press very shortly and i get no blink, so i thought i might be the battery is flat.

this is the 1st time i use this usb cable, it's a samsung U2. could this be a problem, i though it should be compatible with all usb cables.

I think it propably cannot ever go so flat it would not do even single blink, unless the battery is damaged somehow.

One thing you can do, is to start flasher, then connect the device to cable, then press and hold down the power button for real long time, I think it is about 30 seconds or so.
After some time the flasher will recognize the device and start, only then you can release the button. This should work always, no matter what, if you do it correctly.

I have found out that some cables might be OK for charging, but NOK for flashing or communication. Don't really know why but it just is so.

@Garp why you need wifi to repair N9?

just prepare files you need, connect N9 and fix it!

Seems you have no WLAN device that is recognized. What is the device that should be there?
If you do "lspci" can you see your device listed?

This is why I always recommend you use Linux, windows is just generally so bad at anything more complex you try to use it for.
With windows anything is hit-or-miss, and if something does not work the way you expect, you just have no idea where to start looking for the glitch...

You are basicly right but I have several problems: can't update anything, drivers, ubuntu installation etc AND re. N9 don't have permission to create maps, to move files etc (and printer set up also), all this I need net to learn how to do and closing Ubuntu and open Windows every time
