[MeeGo Harmattan] [How to] Bring back your dead N9 to life !

If you bricked your N9 as i did the past week, and want it back to life from the dead Nokia Logo then you can use the following method for restoring system after some dangerous experiments with applications.

My guide is based on ubuntu live cd (the best and safest method yet) as i have Win 7 64bits and i just can't run properly the tools needed to flash the N9 (if you want steps to do it on windows OS, be sure to look into maemotalk forums)...so :

In few steps :

1- Get (not really necessary) the latest ubuntu build (i did it with ubuntu 9 and it worked just fine), Once you've finished downloading your file, you'll need to create a CD or USB drive (the advantage of running a live cd is that you won't need to install anything on your PC) and then run it (see step 3 from this page).

2- Get the maemo flasher released for Harmattan (in my case i did choose the flasher_3.12.1_i386.deb version of it as i'll use ubuntu live cd) and install it !

3- Get the firmware image for your device, I used NaviFirm from http://www.symbian-toys.com/navifirm.aspx to get the appropriate firmware for my N9 (you can search your Firmware with the help of the product code of your N9 which you can find on the back of the micro SIM holder) you're not forced to download all files but ones checked by default, the most important file is the Mcu LEGACY one (something like : DFL61_HARMATTAN_2X.2011.44-2_PR_LEGACY_XXX.bin)

Ps : It'll be convenient to rename it to something easy like your name for example : saad.bin

You want to do a warm-flash ( I have not tried a cold-flash, so do that at your own risk ) of your device.

There are detailed instructions at the maemo wiki, http://wiki.maemo.org/Flasher but you won't probably need them as only what's left to you to do is to place files you've just downloaded to Desktop.

5- Place downloaded files to desktop.

6- Run Xterm, then type :

cd Desktop

Then sudo flasher -F FIRMWAREIMAGE.bin -f -R

Where  FIRMWAREIMAGE.bin is the name you gave to your firmware image... in my case the command will be :

sudo flasher -F saad.bin -f -R

Plug your N9 (it must be switched off already) and wait the magic till your device reboot ;)

It worked fine, but still, do at your own risk !

Additional type : Do a hard reset after that as you could have some old nasty files staying on the system ;)

If you have questions drop them in comments section :)

* Go to application Homescreen. You will see a new icon (Thanks to 3llipsis) at the end of the list and you can see the PDF instruction inside the: /home/user/MyDocs/Documents

    2. Delete this folder (.N9QTweakBackup) from your phone

Hey hey ! What about getting all IM's : MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AIM, IRC, Gadu-Gadu, QQ, Jabber, AOL, QIP, Vkontakte, etc on our lovely N9 (like on the N900)?

Well it's here finally !



1) Download these three files straight on the device :

LibPurple

Telepathy-Haze

IM-Providers-Additional

2 Open terminal, and gain root access using devel-su with rootme as password (unless changed).


3 Enter cd /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads


4 Then (in respective order) dpkg -i libpurple0_*.deb


(5) Then dpkg -i telepathy-haze_*.deb


(6) Then dpkg -i im-providers-additional-0.4.deb

Update :

2) You can use the Transfers view that pop-ups and single click (in respective order, otherwise installation will fail) to install (Yes, it works now) but if you're in ease with previous steps with xterm, just use it ;)

What then? Simply Restart the device you should have the various IM providers in the Accounts app.

Upgrading from a previous version :

- Download file number #3
- Use filemanager or transfer-view on your phone to find the .deb file
- click on the file, it will be upgraded automatically

If you wish to deinstall these later, simply go to  :

Programs -> Manage Programs -> im-providers-additional and select Deinstall.

[MeeGo Harmattan] Photo Deformer For you N9

Photo Deformer - A cool application to make hilarious things with any photo.



You can easily make the cheerful animation turn your friend to funny character. All movies are stored on the device and you'll be in the center of attention, showing caricatures to your friends anytime.

[MeeGo Harmattan] MyTopSites : Top Site Editor for N9 Web Browser !

MyTopSites is a Top Sites editor for the built-in web browser of the Nokia N9.

Using it, you can freely modify the top sites list that's shown when you launch the browser.





You can change the title, URL, font and color background, counter, and also add new sites.

The access count is responsible for the position on the top site list in the browser. A higher value gives a more relevant position.

Note: It's recommended to close all browser windows when using this application (and vice versa) to prevent possible mess due to concurrent access of the same database by two apps.
