N9 not booting!

Hi,

 

Yesterday after taking some picture using my Nokia N9, I'm trying to share those picture to my Facebook. Suddenly my phone started to freeze so I just do a long press on the power button, and, there you go. The phone is half-dead now. It shows only NOKIA welcome screen and then the screen goes blank.

 

I'm running on firmware v20. Anyone having the same problem here? :smileysad:

It sounds as if your N9 has now entered a "Boot loop" and I had to solve this upon my N9 by putting into R & D mode using another application and then re-install existing firmware with standalone Nokia Software Updater http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/...erSetup_EN.exe

 

cpitchford from this forum has written upon the subject:http://forum.meego.com/showpost.php?p=34698&postcount=9

 

If any of this takes you outside your comfort zone, there is probably no alternative other than to take device to a Nokia Care Point should N9 be supported in your region.

Re: N9 not booting!

Thanks for the advice. My N9 is back to life, again. I used to connect the phone to the NSU and do something that I don't really remember the steps.

I have a similar issue with mine, but it doesn't turn itself off after a while. I've kept it on over the night and it still displays "NOKIA" with capitalized white letters.

 

What's the Linux equivalent to the updater software?

 

How am I supposed to open a terminal when all the phone does is displaying the startup screen?

Whilst there is a Flasher tool for Debian Linux under Maemo, AFAIK none such exists for Harmattan unfortunately!

Unfortunately that is not possible upon this manufacturer's sponsored forum due to warranty considerations using non-authorised software and post would be moderated. The necessary information for this open source device is available, but as I have reiterated before if using Terminal commands takes you out of your comfort zone then perhaps better not proceeding down this route.

Depends upon whether "flasher" can recognise your N9:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693

@wilard

 

Not clear from yoiur post whether you mean the display shows (with a big exclamation mark on yellowish triangle):

 

Device is malfunctioning. You may try re-flashing the software. If you are unable to do so, or the problem, or theproblem persists after flashing, please contact service.

 

or exclamation upon battery icon here:
