Installation

WORK IN PROGRESS

In Harmattan, go to Settings->Applications->Installations and enable Allow installation from non-Store sources. Then connect to WiFi and navigate to http://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/n9repomirror_0.7.2_armel.deb and install the package.

After installation, go to Settings->Security->Developer mode and enable Developer mode. Your device will do some operations and then reboot. Once rebooted, reconnect to WiFi if necessary and go back to Settings->Security->Developer mode and install Debugging (other packages as a plus). Now you should have a Terminal app.

For root access, in the terminal you can type:

$ devel-su
Password: rootme

For ssh access, set a password for the user:

$ devel-su
# passwd user 

Then you can ssh:

$ ssh user@RM696

Remove openmode warning:

$ devel-su
# disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode

Download ubiboot (on device):

$ mkdir -p /home/user/MyDocs/boot && cd /home/user/MyDocs/boot
$ wget http://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/ubiboot-02_0.3.5_301013.tar
$ tar xf ubiboot-02_0.3.5_301013.tar
$ rm ubiboot-02_0.3.5_301013.tar
$ md5sum *

$ devel-su
# cd /boot
# wget http://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
# cd /
# wget http://maedevu.maemo.org/images/n9/preinits.tar
# md5sum preinits.tar

# tar xf preinits.tar
# rm preinits.tar

Put your device in Upgrade mode:

$ lsusb
Bus 001 Device 084: ID 0421:0105 Nokia Mobile Phones Nokia Firmware Upgrade Mode

Disable watchdogs:

# 0xFFFF -F no-omap-wd,no-ext-wd,no-lifeguard-reset

Power off the N9 completely, and run flasher to flash ubiboot kernel, then connect the N9 with USB:

# flasher -a firmware.bin -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 --flash-only=kernel -f -R

If everything was performed correctly, the device should boot in an animated bootmenu if you disconnected the USB cable, or maintenance mode if USB is still connected.
