How To Run Android Ice Cream Sandwich on the Nokia N9 (Updated 09.08.13)


UPDATED for PR1.3: Read the procedure below for changes in section IV.

Have a Nokia N9 but wish you could just get some Android goodness on it? How about loading Ice Cream Sandwich on it and in a separate partition so you don’t mess up your current setup? Thanks to some hard-working developers over at Nitdroid.com, no problem at all. Here’s how.

I. Before You Begin

1. This shouldn’t effect your current MeeGo setup, but as a precaution please do a backup.

2. This can be a dangerous procedure so please be careful, especially when typing in commands etc.

3. These instructions are for a Windows computer.

II. Flash the Dual-Boot Kernel

1. On your device go to Settings > Security > Device Lock > Autolock and turn it OFF.

2. Download the Flasher program from here to flash the N9 with (WinFlasher-3.12.1.exe)

3. Install it to your computer and install it to the folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher\ when prompted.

4. Turn off the Nokia N9 and make sure it is NOT plugged in to the computer.

5. Download NaviFirm from here, unzip it, and install it on your computer.

6. Open NaviFirm and then select the Nokia N9 from the far left list, then select 30.2012.7.1 from the second list, then look for your version of the Nokia N9 in the last list (you can better decide by looking under the SIM tray for the 7 character identifier, type in that identifier in the last list to easily find your version) and select it.

7. After it is selected click Unmark all at the top, then look through that list and only check the one that starts with DFL61 AND has the word LEGACY in it.

8. Then click on “Browse” next to “Save to” on the right and choose the folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher\ and also uncheck the “Use productcode as final path”

9. Then click Download.

10. Next, download the Kernel file from here (select the zImage file with the latest date to the right of it) and save it inside the folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher\

11. Open the command prompt on your computer by opening the start menu and typing cmd in the search box and hitting enter.

12. In the command prompt type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher
flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R

*in the above command please note that 005 not 001 after LEGACY, and please not the two hyphens before flash (–).

13. After hitting enter at the last line, plug the USB cable into the phone first then plug the other end into the computer and wait a few seconds for it to start flashing the phone.

III. Install Sillyboot

1. Unplug your phone from the computer and turn it on if it isn’t on already.

2. On your device, go to Settings > Security > Developer Mode and turn it ON. This will restart the device and download some apps, say yes to all the prompts.

3. Plug the phone back in to the computer via USB and select USB Storage mode so we can transfer files to it.

4. Download the Sillyboot file from here and save it to your computer.

5. Copy the Sillyboot file to the Nokia N9 in the MyDocs folder.

6. Unplug the device.

7. Open Terminal on the Nokia N9 and type the following into it with hitting enter at the end of each line (when asked for a password put in rootme):

devel-su
tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot.tar.bz2 -C /

IV. Install Android Ice Cream Sandwich

1. Head to our how to Run Android Ice Cream Sandwich on the Nokia N9 (PR 1.3) procedure instead of doing the 10 steps below.

1. Download the ICS ROM from here and save it to your computer.

2. Plug in the Nokia N9 via USB and select USB Storage mode so we can transfer files to it.

3. Copy the file to your Nokia N9 in the MyDocs folder.

4. Unplug the device.

5. Open Terminal on the Nokia N9 and type the following into it with hitting enter at the end of each line (when asked for a password put in rootme):

devel-su
tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/nninedroid_ics_alpha1.tar.bz2 -C /home/

6. After that, turn off the Nokia N9 and then turn it back on.

7. When prompted, hit the Volume Up button to boot into the “alternative OS”

8. Wait a while for it to boot for the first time.

9. Soon as your device boots in to Android, go to Settings > Display > Sleep and change the option to 30 minutes (there is a known issue that sometimes when it goes to sleep it will turn off the phone).

10. To boot back to regular MeeGo, simply turn off the phone and turn it back on.

  1. Thank you so much David. Though I think I will pass on this mod BUT I am all over it when it gets ironed out. I hope you do a step by step when this enters at least BETA. I’m hoping it will be in the next couple of weeks. This just isn’t good enough to be my daily at this point but looks really promising.

  2. Forgot to ask but does these work?

    1. 3G/HSPA+
    2. Calls
    3. Text messages

    If those all work I may actually give this a shot.

    1. Hey MD,

      I tried it on an N9 and too be honest the only things I noticed NOT working are the camera, battery indicator (always says your out of juice and doesn’t indicate when charging), and sleep mode (when it happens on its own as opposed to you just turning off the screen) locks the phone up.
      Text messages, calls, and data works no problem. It’s worth a shot since its a dual boot, I’d say. You can just turn it off and back on and your in MeeGo. And when the developer updates his ICS ROM, it’ll most likely just be repeating the last steps to update to the newer version as they are released.

      1. MAHLON GARRIDIGAN

        Hi there,

        For some reason i cannot receive a call. the phone rings and i slide the ringing icon to the green answer, but the call does not connect. It still rings on the other end, but on my side it stops ringing but nothing on the line.

    2. Same issue here. Operator-dependent SIM cards not recognized? No service, no PIN asked for, no configurable APN (see other posts below about apn’s). No wifi too (service unavailabe or such, when trying to turn on).

    1. Hello Ercan,

      What probably happened (as it happened to me) is your either didn’t flash the Kernel properly in the beginning, or didn’t flash sillyboot properly. To be honest I’d go back and try again and make sure you get the confirmation like I did in the video. As for undoing everything, if you didn’t do those other steps properly anything else you did after erases after reboot 🙂

  3. Hi. I was trying to follow your tutorial but I’ve come to a problem here… I try tu run the cmd then I write cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher hit enter than
    flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R (the .bin file name is according to my N9 location) and hit enter…
    But it says ERROR: Only single flash option is allowed ERROR: Error processing option -f

    1. Saras,

      Firstly, make sure you are typing in what is written in the procedure not what is typed in the video (the file name changed). The command is this:
      flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R

      Notice the 005 not 001 that you had. And also the command has two -‘s so it’s — in front of flash.

      Let me know.

          1. Another issue… I was flashing my phone when it showed security problem. I’ve turned off autolock. I believe that was caused by app called track & protect. Now it shows that I don’t have a security number and should enter a new one (security>settings>device lock) but each time I try it just shows wrong security code… I’ll try to reinsta thel meego os :/

          2. hey david i wanna know that when i write commands in the command prompt it doesnt show sucess but instead it open another commandprompt and after a second it disappers

      1. hey David i did tried this as well but its not working? can u do another video or explain it in detail step by step on how to do it cause yeah its not working for me either

      2. I have a problem.

        Notice the 005 not 001 that you had. And also the command has two -’s so it’s — in front of flash.

    1. I mention this at the very bottom of the procedure, but all you have to do is turn off the phone when in Android and then when you turn it back on DONT hit volume up when prompted and you’ll boot into regular MeeGo. That simple 🙂

  4. I knew about the 001 not beibng 005 from the file name I had 🙂
    Thank you for that double — before flash 🙂 It helped.
    Cheers.

  5. hi
    everything went well for me but 3G dosent work and i cant connect to internet now. what i should i do to make 3G work ?

  6. Hi,about the sillyboot thing,
    ive got the
    sbin/preinit
    bin/evkey
    but when i reboot,the “vol up” button doesnt show up,why?

      1. Hi Daivd,
        I am getting the same error. I remember adding -C /. and checked the files also.
        I think boot loader is booting up but it is not waiting for the input.

        One more thing this is the firmware i downloaded
        DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin

        if I try with 005 it is not working. I tried with 001 only. I flashed the image.
        Now I am getting the warning screen but not able to give any input. even it is not loading meego also.
        What can I do from here. Is it possible to put only android in N9 if so can you give me a link for the procedure
        Thanks in advance

  7. I’ve installed the android successfully. But I can’t connect to the internet and usb doesn’t allow me to enter my phone through pc. Do you know how I could do that? Because I could download some android games on pc ant put them in my N9 through usb. As the internet doesn’t work…

    1. You need to put in your APN again in the phone to get the internet to work properly. Google for your cell phone service provider’s APN then put that information in the APN section of your settings on your phone.

      1. I’ve done that, but SIM is not recognized at all. No GSM, no calls, no texts. Entered APN disappears instantly and WiFi indicates “unable to connect to this service, please try again later” when attempting to turn it on.

  8. Hello,
    Thank you for your tutorial, I keep getting this message over and over again, I’ve turned autolock off, put a check on “non provisionable device” on mfe, and turn track and protect off as well. What could be the problem?

    error: SU_BEGIN_IMAGE_UPDATE_REQ terminated with error code 10: security failure
    devicelock on: cannot flash unsigned image

    Thanks!

    1. im having the same problem as you as well. ive done all of that as well but it still ends with an error

      1. devicelock, doesn’t that mean either 1) your phone is locked (which shouldn’t be as indicated by a note in flasher console output) 2) you set up a security lock (there is none by default) on the phone, in that case you have to find a way of disabling it

  9. Hello
    When i type the command to flash the kernel nothing happen.
    I press enter and it skips to the next line.
    It doesn’t even try to flash my n9 and there is no message to inform me.
    Can someone help me with this problem?

    1. Also when i type the number on the back of my sim into navifirm there are no results and i ended up downloading the Australian 16gb black version. Will this work if the numbers are different?
      Thanks in advance.

      1. Hmm, you definitely should have a firmware in there. Please make sure that you have the right number in there. Do you know if your phone is a 16Gb Black Australian Version?

        1. I’m 99.9% sure it is an Australian version and i’m 100% sure it is 16gb black. Even if it was from another country the number should come up in the list. The number is 059L698.
          Thank you for replying so fast.

          1. Hi Thomas!
            I have the same problem as you. There are no results when I type the number of my SIM. How did you finally do? Did you choose another number? Did it work?

          2. i have yet to boot ICS on my phone.
            The variant i tried was the Australian black 16gb which did not work.
            It is peculiar that both of us have the same problem.
            May i ask what country and retailer you bought your N9 from?

      1. I tried this and re-entered the command but i get this

        WARNING: bad kernel format in zImage
        FIASCO ERROR: zImage: No such file or directory

        I’m not sure where to go from here.
        Please help!!

  10. I think I’m getting the same error as Saras.
    I can’t flash the kernel, it says “Devicelock ON: cannot flash unsigned image”.
    I have double-checked, and the Autolock is already turned OFF.

    Are there other settings I should configure?
    Will it matter if my Harmattan version is PR1.2?

    Thanks for this tutorial btw.

  11. MAHLON GARRIDIGAN

    Hi there,
    I’m also getting the:
    error: SU_BEGIN_IMAGE_UPDATE_REQ terminated with error code 10: security failure
    devicelock on: cannot flash unsigned image
    ERROR: Failed to flash images

    and my devicelock is definitely off and track and protect is off.
    after the phone reboots I have the warranty void logo (would be nice to get rid of that scary screen)

    and then i have the same issue as Saras when i try to go in and turn on device lock. wrong security code

  12. i tired to flashing my n9 because my version (30.2012.07-1_PR_006)
    but there something wrong
    v20.2011.40-4_PR_005 must be equal
    to 005 or greater than 005*. For instance your device shows PR_005,
    *you cannot use the firmware having PR_004 or less. *(You can check
    it via Settings>About Product>Version)
    that is true????
    how to downgrade for 006 to 005 please

  13. Hey david first of all we appriciate your wor k
    second in my nokia N9 i dont have a MyDocs just a Documents so i created a MyDocs file and in it i placed the extracted file sillyboot , and placed the zipped file sillyboot.tar.bz now when i type in the command it says short read so i dont know what to do ??

    second in my nokia phone i dont have a MyDocs file so i made one and placed siullboot extracted file and sillyboot.tar zipped file when i wrote the commands all i got was short read??? please help
    thank you

  15. To all who have issues with the device lock or security while flashing… Store all your data from N9 to your computer, reinstall a fresh Meego os and then to the flashing with the device lock off and don’t create tarck & protect account. I think T&P app was the issue for me,,,

  16. Hi David…

  21. hey David i did tried this as well but its not working? can u do another video or explain it in detail step by step on how to do it cause yeah its not working for me either. can u help me with this please

  22. Here’s how I got it to work.
    Workaround:
    If you’re also getting the:
    error: SU_BEGIN_IMAGE_UPDATE_REQ terminated with error code 10: security failure
    devicelock on: cannot flash unsigned image
    ERROR: Failed to flash images

    THEN:
    Reflash your phone using

    12. In the command prompt type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

    cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher
    flasher -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -f

    THEN: boot into your clean os, enable devicelock and then disable devicelock.

    NOW: Try the tutorial again.

  23. Hi
    i just did every step right and repeated it 3-4 times now but always the same result ics will not run after i press vol up key.
    would really like to run it on my n9 can you help me please?
    thanks in advance.

    1. never mind it now i got ics on my n9 but still have one critical problem that wifi is not turning on in ics mode 🙁

      1. also wifi does not work in alpha version solution is using 3g or installing apps via pc but that is very complicated

  24. Hey.
    I got a question..
    When i’m typing in the command in the cmd.exe
    it don’t works, it sais:
    ERROR: Unknown arguments specified!
    Usage: flasher [OpTIONS]
    Options:
    …………………….(many “letters” and words..)
    What am I doing wrong?

    1. make sure the name part of the command in step 12 is exactly the same as the file name you downloaded. sometimes the file name is different. Its probably LEGACY_006 now…
      eg… DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin

  25. I ran into an issue with navifirm.
    When I tried to dl the filename DFL61 harmattan.
    I get an error message Access to path file c:\programfile\nokia\flasher\dfl61_harmattan_30.2012.07-1_pr_legacy_005-oem1-958_arm.bin is denied.

    How can fix that is the file broken?

    How

  26. Hey david i wanna know that when i type in the commads in the command prompt it doesnt flash my phone it opens another command prompt for a second and disappears

  27. i was able to boot Ice Cream Sandwich a couple of times then my N9 died. won’t charge, can’t be flashed and won’t turn on. had to take it to the Nokia Care center for software reloading, glad it’s still covered by warranty. it’s back to its good old MeeGo self.

    just a warning for anyone thinking of flashing their phones.
    i didn’t think the procedure could brick my phone, even if i followed the directions exactly.
    but if you’re feeling adventurous, please proceed by all means 🙂

  28. Hi,there is a version 2,that had just been released,can you make a tutorial of how to install it?because,as far as i know,version 2 has wifi working…..Please make one,thanks 🙂

  29. problem installing sillyboot when I enter the command

    1. Mehmud M. Saleyi

      It is easy, the correct command it is:

    1. Did you tried It before ? I think it’s already on or just trie to delete the sillyboot from the N9 and flash it again.

  32. when I start my N9, ican’t accès to the dual-boot and it’s lunching only on Meego. So I tried again but when I’m flashing, there is nothing that appear when I’m connection my phone on the PC (unlike the video). Can it be th problem and so how can I do ?

    1. Oh dear, the same problem as mine! I fixed it somehow, but when I flashed my phone, it doesn’t start normally anymore. I get the ugly screen, and VOILA! Absolutely no ‘sign’ of booting chance… I have no idea about what went wrong, but my phone is just turned on for a couple of seconds (with the screen) – and then turns off… Please, I really need help here! :-(.. Can’t access my phone, can’t boot it to Android – disappointing…

  34. When i download the sillyboot file i get a bin and sbin file. Is this normal? It doesnt appear to be the same as the video. I downloaded a tar file from http://forum.nitdroid.com/index.php?topic=91.0 and used this instead.

    Still each time i enter the code I get “tar: can’t open ‘/home/user/MyDocs/nninetroid_ics_alpha1.tar.bz2’ : No such file or directory”

    Has anyone see this? Or can someone lend a helping hand to tell me where I may be going wrong?

  35. i have in step 12 in cmd about f -r it does not work and i have this (( ‘ f ‘ is not recognized as a
    internal or external command, operable program or patch file. ))

    please help me

  37. Hi, I have tried to do this but without any luck.
    After flash, the phone restarts, an i get a warning about that i have changed the phonesoftware. Then I can´t get any further. I cant start up the phone…
    What to do?

    1. I was having the same problem. What worked for me was to first of all re-flash the phone with the complete image:
      flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -f -R
      and then with the kernel:
      flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R

      I think this happens if you didn’t do the software update to the latest version of MeeGo.

      Cheers,
      Oliver

  38. HI…. I am having a problem in step 12 and 13… Bcoz David did not show that in the video.. :(((
    Can anyone help me… Its saying flasher:invalid option

  39. Hi
    I type in the command in cmd (with LEGACY_006 since the file name has this not LEGACY_005) and the following comes:
    ERROR: Only single flash option is allowed
    ERROR: Error processing option -f
    What am I doing wrong?
    PS whats the difference b/n the double-hyphens before “flash”?I mean in some sites (actually all others that I visited) they put 2 hyphens, but here there’s only one.

  40. Never mind my previous post.There must’ve been something wrong with the command (I spent more than 20 minutes trying to find out what was wrong -.-) -I just copy-pasted from here and changed the “005” to “006” but now the problem is
    ERROR: Unknown arguments specified!
    -.-‘

        There is simply no boot…
        .. Alternatively, how to go back to undo the flash?

        Cheers

          flasher -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -f -R

    Hello friend, I’m brazilian and follow his tutorial risca.Have a problem when I enter the nninedroid_ics_alpha1.tar.bz2-C , says that the file is inexistente.O language of my device is in English, and other than that I’ve managed to run sillyboot.

  48. for those who end up with phones that don’t boot past the warranty warning:
    RELAX! I had this too and all I had to do was re-flash the phone with the latest firmware image and I think it will work for you people too.The mistake I did and I think you guys did too is that you didn’t update your firmware to the latest.So you’re writing the zImage into the phone with a firmware image that isn’t the one the phone is using.(If u don’t understand this never mind).Just search “Comprehensive firmware flashing guide maemotalk” on google and select the page on maemotalk org with instructions for flashing.Follow those and you’ll most probably end up with a phone as good as new -I even had all my old data left-just the apps got uninstalled.Good luck

    1. I’ve tried everything perfectly according to the instructions but couldnt get my N9 android 🙁

      The firmware of the phone is updated too.

      No response from phone when cmd commands are applied while N9 being switched off or even on.

      Do you have any solution for that ???

  49. what do you mean by hitting enter on the end of each line? in your video i didnt see the picture of the command.

  50. Hi im stuck at the flashing stage its not plashing for me.
    it gets stuck at the boot loader not found?

    also my DFL61 file does not say= ‘DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin’

    it says ‘DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.299.1_PR_LEGACY_299_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin’

    so i have use my one instead one the line above.

    After Flash my N9 then it is not open and after 5min its restart and again hangup and then again restart but not open. what can i do now? Pls help me

    1. discontinuity

      This means there was a problem.Causes are many,but solution is just one.
      Reflash the phone with the latest firmware.Open Navifirm,do the steps in the tutorial,except that don’t download only the “legacy” file, but also the one below it;the “EMMC” one which is also larger in size.Put them in flasher directory.Now I assume u put them in “C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher”.Now open command prompt.Write “cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher” (Or the directory u have flasher in).Now write “flasher -i” (ofc u must press Enter after each command)
      Next, write “Flasher -f -F (name of “legacy” bin file).bin” (Please don’t use the brackets in the command-write the name of the file which has the word “legacy” in it.If u want,u can copy the name of the file and paste it on the cmd for utmost accuracy)
      After finish, write “Flasher -R” and the phone will restart.(Note that u must NOT put the “”s in the commands)
      hope this helped.

        1. discontinuity

          sry for xtremely late reply.
          Phone must be OFF when u plug into the PC.
          PS if u have a bricked phone u can’t turn it on anyway-or u’ll just reach the scary warranty loss message and the phone will switch itself off.
          guys for clarifications just go to the nitdroid forum and use the searchbox there.Most of ur problems will hopefully be solved.Have a nice day…..perhaps :DD

  57. My camera is not working when the phone is with android. It says “Camera error.Can`t connect to the camera.”. What I have to do?

  58. ERROR: Only single flash option is allowed
    ERROR: Error processing option -f

    how i resolve this error and continue installation

  59. Hi, how are u, i need your help please. I have Nokia N9 – Black 64 GB with archive: DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM, im living in Middle East and my problem is that im blocked in the step for flashing, when i put zImage in the same folder C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher and open commande prompt, i put this commande:
    flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R, but with no success in flashing, and when i connect my nokia N9 with the cable in computer, there’s the same result, i mean the phone not accept to flash, buu it can run the default OS Meego harmattan only . So i don’t know how to do now, maybe in our zone (Middle East) they block flashing of Nokia, so if u have some informations in order to help me, please post in my text. THANK YOU ALL

    1. make sure you put 2 “-” sign before the “flash” word in the command

      flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –-flash-only=kernel -f -R

      1. hello nico, it’s me again. First i wanna thank u so much 4 your reply in my text, and thanx again becoz it helped me, and yes, the think that i forget to put is the 2 “-” sign before the “flash”word becoz it cant flash in that case, and now thanx, i succeed to flash the phone with the command you explain to me:
        flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_006-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –-flash-only=kernel -f -R
        and i follow all the steps, put the nninedroid ics in MyDocs inside the N9, and put the command in the terminal, and switch it off. Everythings’s ok.
        But when i switch on the phone and display the warning for warranty, if i press the volume up key or keeping pressing it, there’s nothing happen but just loading the default OS Meego Harmattan for the Nokia N9. So please again help me in my situation, and i don’t know if i must pressing the volume up key once, or twice or just keeping pressing. Or maybe i must reflash it again, with the sillyboot.
        Thanx again nico, and please im waiting for your help.

  64. Hello I have a Nokia n8 change the system from Symbian to the system Android Download Terminal program installed on a possible Nokia n8

    Possible to access the program Download Terminal

  65. Thanks for the instructions, very helpful.

    Just to clarify a few things, if someone else has same issues as me (this is for windows 7):
    – step II.2, if you cannot copy the kernel in the C:\Program Files\Nokia\flasher folder, navigate to C:\Program Files\Nokia\, right-click on flasher, select properties, select Security, click on Edit, select “Users (<name-of-your-computer\Users)", click on Full Control and confirm. Then try copying again
    – step II.12, in the instructions replace "DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin" by the name of the file you have downloaded and copied. Also make sure you put 2 "-" signs before the "flash" word, like this : –flash. In my case (blue n9 Telstra Australia)it gave this : flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.235.3_PR_LEGACY_235_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R
    – steps III.5 and IV.3, when the article says "copy in the MyDocs folder", copy in the root of the drive that appears when you connect your phone as Usb Mass Storage

    Cheers

  67. Hi i downloaded all the need file the start ding the android dualboot installation. My problem is when i tried to do exactly what the instruction say on this video in part one which is Flashing the device using command prompt then go to Flasher derectory then type ” flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R ” im not able to get through. Need your help guys if this arguments are correct or ned to amend.. Thanks

    1. I managed to install dualboot but i have a problem on my camera and wifi. it seems both are not working.. anyone having this issue and has resolved ? please help..

  68. Hello, I have a problem with flashing. It just does not want to start. Im typing all commands corectly (double –), pressing enter, and then im plugging in my device and it just starts to charging. HELP

    1. I’m getting the exact same thing.
      Also, when I use Navifirm to get the correspondent DFL61, the number I get on navifirm is PR_LEGACY_001.
      What could I do?

  69. Wow. Now I got all the way through loading the android rom, but after turning it off and on, I never get the warning screen nor the indication to boot into android using the volume button.

  70. My sim card is not recognized. Nor wifi works. Other than that it’s amazing ! (actually android is kinda useless without internet)
    My country variant did not exist in NaviFirm, so I used another one to flash (as the flasher only flashes the kernel, i guess this doesn’t really matter). That was actually dangerous because in case of failure I couldn’t have resurrected a dead phone…

    And a nice little warning at boot 😉

  71. Wow! Thank you so much!
    Now, I’m decided (better late than never… 😉 ) :
    I BUY a Nokia N9!!! & I want a black 64GB to get enough place for this dual Booting …

  72. I couldn’t get any further than the Navifirm software. It came up Access Denied when downloading to the Flasher file. All steps just as stated here.

  73. I really have trouble at this part………………………………………

    12. In the command prompt type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

    cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher
    flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R

    *** is the end of the line -k zImage – ???? Do i hit enter here ???? I’m confused

    *in the above command please note that 005 not 001 after LEGACY, and please not the two hyphens before flash (–).

    Also, I could only locate the following file from Navifirm… can it be used as a subsitute

    DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.418.2_PR_LEGACY_418_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed

  74. Dear Mr.
    I have a problem downloading files from the program of the Mobile Navi Firm because it does not show the file extension to be as updated as required to explain the steps that you’ve typed on the site, has raised the image files from the program the Navi Firm
    cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher
    flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R.
    can you type my Special command
    So I hope you to show me how I can write it on to broken my phone or is that some devices are not compatible with Android

  75. Every thing is done accordingly.. but the problem is after pressing volume UP for alternate OS my phn goes off… then i have to power on it again…
    please help i don want to giveup

  76. hi dear
    thank you so much
    but i have problem
    in step II
    (12. In the command prompt type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

    cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher
    flasher -a DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_005-OEM1-958_ARM.bin -k zImage –flash-only=kernel -f -R

    *in the above command please note that 005 not 001 after LEGACY, and please not the two hyphens before flash (–).

    13. After hitting enter at the last line, plug the USB cable into the phone first then plug the other end into the computer and wait a few seconds for it to start flashing the phone.)
    when i hit enter after typing order !! no things happen!!!!!!!
    :-((((

  77. I got a problem. Everything works fine, the Meego system works fine, but when i start the phone and press volume up button to boot andriod, the phone just turns off, why is that? Help please

    1. discontinuity

      furkan did u put nitdroid 1 or 2 or 3?(yeah there are 3 versions 3 being the latest)-If u followed these steps and only the steps on this page then I’m not sure of the problem.If u put nitdroid 2 then at first it was released to OVERWRITE the 1st one though later a standalone was released.
      To all: If u have queries then why don’t u go to the real nitdroid forum(nitdroid is the name given by the team to android for the N9) and ask them there?They’re better then me,and u might as well cut Mr.David some slack 😀

  78. Another problem to report : I am having issues when the phone empties its battery : when I try to charge it back, it starts to boot, I see the warning and the “Press VolUp for alternative OS”, then, if I press volUp, Android boots fine but is incapable of charging, and if I don’t, the phone turns “off” (or in a weird state where in the dark you can see the screen is actually still on), and in this state it doesn’t charge. Only way to turn it OFF is to press power button for 8 seconds (as always), this brings us back to the initial state.

    I tried using the Flasher, it worked once : start the flasher with any OS that won’t work (for example, try to downgrade), flasher will prevent the phone from starting. The first time I did this the phone kept blocked by flasher and started charging.

    But now, my problem is even though the flasher blocked the phone from booting, the phone doesn’t charge, so I’m completely stuck with a “dead” phone (it’s not dead, it’s just unable to charge).

    Another time, I just did a lot of those manipulations (turn off, plug in, turn off again before boot, plug out, etc.) and maybe the battery charged a little, but I got a boot warning such as :
    “The system is not working properly (too many reboots). Boot anyway?” I said yes and the phone booted correctly.

    This is very annoying. I would really like to find a way to downgrade (coz I can’t flash my phone, the latest version fw doesn’t exist for my country variant although I got 1.3 FOTA… which is even weirder)

    BTW there is an updated version of Ninedroid, and I would like to install it (but since I can’t flash…)

  83. I fallow everything in this tut.. But I get only warning screen then it go to Meego..
    what problem? please help

      1. Hello David, really i have the version PR 1.2, but just one thing i wanna tell u that i finish all procedure you explain in order to run android ICS 4.0, all finish. But when i switch on the phone it display the warning for void warranty, and if i press the volume up key or keeping pressing it, there’s nothing happen but just loading after about 15 or 20 seconds the default OS Meego Harmattan for the Nokia N9. So please again help me in my situation, and i don’t know if i must pressing the volume up key once, or twice or just keeping pressing. Or maybe i must reflash it again, with the sillyboot. Another i wanna tell u is that the command u explain:
        tar xjvf /home/user/MyDocs/sillyboot.tar.bz2 -C / didn’t work if i put the -C / but if i remove it or i add to it the syntax /home/ it work but never dual boot

        1. Without the -C it won’t work (that’s why it isn’t booting). Try flashing it again but this time follow it exactly. It’s been a while since I did this to the phone, but I sort of remember having the same issue and it was cause of something small I overlooked.

          1. Yea i know that it must be the problem of the -C command, but really when i put that -C it display a message like cannot remove something like, but when i remove it or add home/ nothing display, but unfortunately no dual boot, i try many times to reflash the phone maybe about 5 times but with the same problem, -C didn’t work

          2. or maybe the problem is the french language bcoz my phone is in french, but i don’t think that

  84. *in the above command please note that 005 not 001 after LEGACY, and please not the two hyphens before flash (–)
    i have in navifirm oo6 .. wt i will type in commander 005 or 006???
