15:58.43stef204hi, right place to get some help on serious n9 problem?
15:59.45stef204if anyone can provide feedback, would appreciate it.  Here is the problem.
15:59.57stef204I just bricked my n9 using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade.  (the second command was really stupid to use, my bad.  Have no idea how to recover.  
16:00.08stef204first negative impact after this wrong move was some apps desktop icons no longer there, replaced by exclamation point, when clicking on it, system said: app name can no longer be used, reinstall. and then it seems to go into infinite loop
16:00.22stef204rebooted but now just stuck at boot screen with nokia logo, nothing happening
16:00.32stef204how do I get out of this mess?

16:19.16coderusthe only way is to get firmware somewhere and flash it

16:25.11stef204coderus: Hi, I actually had some of your software installed on my phone, was really nice.
16:25.38stef204coderus: so the code behind the SIM holder seems to be 059L 5D0
16:25.47stef204it is the 16GB version
16:26.31stef204coderus: are you able to point me to the links to the right firmware?  Most of the links I "find" in google are dead
16:26.45coderusyou need to find it yourself
16:26.54stef204and I can run Linux (preferably) or Windows
16:28.09*** join/#harmattan piggz (~piggz@195.147.198.68)
16:28.16stef204do you know what string I should look for?  And also, what about the flasher?  this link id dead, I mean navifirm not available http://www.symbian-toys.com/navifirm.aspx#download
16:30.47stef204coderus: a bit more help would be really nice, I am really in trouble here with this.  I know you are an experienced developer and probably have idea where to find the software image, etc.  I would really appreciated it
16:33.24coderusflasher is available, you need to get firmware
16:38.37stef204coderus: ok, I cannot see the link to flasher, can you please give it to me? feel free to private message me if you prefer
16:38.52coderushttps://coderus.openrepos.net/flasher/
16:39.10stef204thanks, let me download it
16:40.41*** join/#harmattan ajalkane (~ajalkane@185.135.157.87)
16:42.53stef204coderus: ok, I downloaded the flasher. How do I get the firmware? This is the N9 i have 059L5D0: N9 RM-696 Country Variant ********* ** Black 16GB V1
16:45.46stef204I had updated that OS when Nokia was still "alive"--they had an OTA upgrade of OS.
16:46.52coderusyou need to google harder
16:47.01coderusi have no idea where to download images nowadays
16:49.17stef204you might have one from before? Are you able to put in on your website so I can ftp it? Or on a free download site, etc.?
16:50.23coderusi have no n9 firmwares
16:50.45coderusif you find one i can put it to website
16:52.43stef204thanks. Do you think this would work? https://archive.org/download/NokiaN9-059j203Rm-696NdtCentralEuropeBlack16gb
16:52.56stef204it is of a different country than mine but it is 16 GB
16:57.12coderusstart flasher -i and connect device to get actual version of installed firmware
16:59.43stef204ok. I will do that.  In the meantime, can you please see if this russian website gives link to image files?  I tried translating it but difficult to see/understand.
16:59.46stef204http://4pda.ru/forum/lofiversion/index.php?t269003.html
17:05.15coderusyes but not your productcode
17:05.36coderuswith flasher -i you can get info about product variant number and try find compatible image
17:07.18stef204ok, I see i cannot install a .deb file (the flasher) on Ubuntu
17:07.46stef204I will try to use Windows7 inside a virtual machine I have
17:08.57stef204I should be able to install this deb file in Ubuntu, though, let me try via cli
17:10.22stef204ok, installed flasher in Ubuntu

17:31.41stef204do I need to "mount" the phone? I am not sure ubuntu recognizes the phone is in usb
17:35.01stef204flasher 3.12.1 is saying  "suitable usb interface not found, waiting..."
17:35.06*** join/#harmattan macmaN (~chezburge@90.190.182.21)
17:35.45stef204i may have bricked the usb interface on the N9 with the dist-upgrade command
17:36.41stef204i can try the windows VM
17:39.13coderusstart flasher -i
17:39.18coderusconnect usb cable
17:39.26stef204ok
17:39.28coderuspress and hold power button until fasher recognize it
17:39.34*** join/#harmattan piggz (~piggz@195.147.198.68)
17:39.35stef204ok, thank you
17:39.37coderusprobably you need sudo flasher -i
17:39.48stef204right
17:42.20*** join/#harmattan piggz (~piggz@195.147.198.68)
17:49.26stef204i will go to a different computer which has Windows XP installed on HDD (NOT inside a virtual machine like Ubuntu is)
17:49.43stef204and use thw Winflasher version
18:12.58stef204no luck in windows, I get the device driver not installed properly error
18:13.24stef204I have nokia suite and nokia software updater installed on the windows box but I don't know if this can help
18:15.17stef204ok I finally got it
18:15.24stef204let me post the exact version
18:16.40*** join/#harmattan piggz (~piggz@195.147.198.68)
18:17.27stef204coderus: DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.480.04.1_PR_480

18:35.53stef204coderus: i found a torrent here http://btkitty.bid/torrent/BcGBDQAgCAOwlwwwN89hEf8_wVaaxJW3X3c7Q0kuToZPCcRTga4P.html but not exactly same version
18:41.28coderustry this: https://silma.tk/fws/DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.21-3.480.04.1_PR_LEGACY_480_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin
18:41.40stef204thank you. let me download it.
18:45.14stef204ok, it is downloading
19:25.10stef204coderus: Don't kill me but while file was downloading, I used something similar to "locate" for Windows and found on the Windows laptop my original image file and all of the rest of the files like .vpl .dcp and signature.bin, etc.
19:25.49stef204so I guess I should use the original file perhaps (I think it comes from a backup or a download I had done years ago using Nokia Software Downloader
19:26.14stef204so ready to flash now I guess.
19:30.55stef204coderus: what is the best command to use to flash the bin file, using WinFlasher?
19:31.20stef204flasher -F filename.bin  -f -c
19:31.23stef204?
19:37.44stef204I think I will try: flasher.exe -F "file name of firmware".bin -f
19:47.55stef204I get downgrade disallowed, failed to flash
19:52.38stef204it shows a table and some log, which says something like: imahe moslo nor present , image mmc not present, image tar skipped image config skipped
19:53.09stef204battery level 19% )I don't know if battery level is a problem, phone is plugged in to power)
19:53.20stef204well to USB I should say
19:53.47stef204and then at the end of table, Downgrade disallowed
19:57.43*** join/#harmattan louisdk (~louisdk@static-5-103-130-65.seas-nve.net)
19:58.30stef204I will try the otehr image file, the one you linked to
19:59.53coderusyes you should flash image matching your current sw version taken via flasher -i
20:01.20stef204ok, thanks. this command is OK? flasher -F filename.bin  -f -c
20:01.29stef204or forget the -c?
20:05.37coderusforget -c
20:07.26stef204ok
20:26.54stef204coderus: ok, flashing successful.  Now, just reboot phone? and then hard reset once it has booted?
20:27.17coderusyou dont need hard reset after flashing afaik
20:28.19stef204ok,, i read that it might get rid of some temp files, etc. let me try to turn on phone now
20:46.30stef204coderus: ok, phone boots now and I still have my contacts in it! But all of my custom apps are gone.
20:46.40stef204I need to install warehouse now
20:46.49stef204i hope I can get the developer mode back on

20:54.08stef204cannot get developer mode back on, I need to install warehouse now and then figure how to reinstall all of my apps.
20:54.39stef204coderus: I really appreciate your help, at least I have recovered my phone now!
20:54.45stef204thanks for taking the time.
20:55.24coderusyou need this: https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror
20:56.03stef204coderus: ok let me read that,
21:00.16stef204ok, i am installing the 0.7.2 deb file
21:07.54stef204ok it is installing. Do i need to edit the mirror files and comment or remove the official (old) repos?
21:08.44coderusi dont know, try reading comments and asking author
21:10.24stef204i probably do, it is taking a really long time to update some old app, must be stuck in look to unavailable repo, perhaps.  Anyway, I need to install warehouse now.  And I hope to be OK once I have warehouse
21:53.20stef204coderus: I have Warehouse installed now. Thank you again for your help.
22:17.24stef204coderus: sorry, do you know what the default password is for n9 so I can ssh into it? I tried 12345 but does not work.
22:22.08stef204I think i need to setup user password again, using phone itself, before I can use ssh as normal user
22:41.24stef204coderus: the n9 will not stay turned off, Whn I press power button to turn it off, it always reboot on its own. Have you run into this problem before?
22:52.00stef204positive is i have now changed user and root passwords, installed mosh and can ssh into phone, And can install apps with Warehouse. So that is great.
