I guess you are using windows, right?
Probably your windows USB drivers are botched, you did something or other and managed to get the drivers misaligned. (common thing with windows, I wonder why it is so easy to break it?)

@juiceme Thanks for reply, yes I am using Windows 7. This is drivers related issue but I am unable to understand how to fix it.
I do have Linux Mint but I don't use it much nowadays.
Is there anyway to remove all N9 related drivers and start all over again?
I had installed Phoenix and then uninstalled it along with nokia connectivity drivers. This issue started after that.
Please check attached screenshot.

Uninstall everything (EVERYTHING) related to Nokia (suite, connectivity, flasher, map loader, whatever , ...).

Download PC Suite Cleaner exe
Run it as admin.
Reboot.
Run it once more.
Install flasher (in case you like also Nokia Suite) again.

Run flasher as admin
Connect N9
(if it does not flash, disconnect, power off and connect once more).

Common problem with Windoze ... (at least some versions!)

LOL thats an effective way ....

@peterleinchen I will try as you have suggested but most surprising thing was I also faced similar issue when I tried in kubuntu on same laptop.
It gave following error.

It worked finally after doing steps as mentioned by peterleinchen.
Many Thanks.

Hello,

I tried to follow the recommended steps to flash, using a Mac. This is what I get:

Success as far as the eye can see, but when I boot the device I get yellow waring sign and an error like:

"Device not working properly

Try updating the device software with Nokia Software Updater...

Security problem (aegis-exec):
/usr/lob/libaegis_crypto.so.1.0.0"

Any idea on how to fix this ? I tried the suggested NSU on Windoze, but it fails at the end of the update - after it reboots the device gets hung on the NOKIA logo.

Also I should mention, that flashing on Mac seems to randomly fail at various percentage of completion. The run above is a rare struck of luck, after a few retries.

What's the normal usage for "flasher -R" ? Should the phone be left connected to USB after it boots ? I read at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...75&postcount=1 that it should be yanked out of USB.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks !

Does it apply also to the N9 ?

####¤%!! No, wrong sections, should have been in Jolla flashing thread
Guess I need some weekend somewhere, with no kids, wife - just devices and compilers
