Never wrong to double check.
Also, even if it does not help Venemo now, maybe some readers in the future might profit.
As you noticed in another thread, search engines pick up tmo posts quite well!

Re: Is it possible to revive this N950?

i was checking n950 and n9 specs and what make them different are the screen size, camera module, keypad and battery module.
is it possible to make n9 board somehow work in n950? it is obvious that we have to forget about keypad and what else i don't know. even if it works it is half dead.
but i have to say, a dead n950 is a great loss.

Not really, the board layout and components are so different you'd need to rework it pretty much.

What you could do though is to remove the SoC chip from the N9 board and solder it to your N950 board. However that is not a beginners smd task really. :p

n9 and n950 front kinda look alike, i thought that they had same board under the hood, my bad.
happy new year to the community by the way :D.

Re: Is it possible to revive this N950?

I still want to try one day to put the N9 chip on N900. It should be possible when you check the model info. I just don't know how much software configuration should be done before starting the thing.

Tried to reflash it, but the flasher fails on both rootfs and emmc:

ERROR: Failed to flash images

After trying some suggestions, I ended up flashing an old "rescue image" which lets me telnet into the device. Sadly, it looks like the eMMC and/or the NAND are dead. I'm getting a lot of ECC errors from the NAND, and a lot of I/O errors from the eMMC.

Here is the full dmesg log: https://pastebin.com/65eu3wqr

Hi,

I've got similar problem while flashing, but I hope eMMC is not cooked yet.

Would you mind sharing 'DFL61_HARMATTAN_40.2012.13-7.RM680_EMMC_RM680.bin'?

Google doesn't find it, I got only NAND firmware (not eMMC).
TIA

Check it. There is a link to some files.

It's definitely not there. I've mirrored all n9/n950/n900 sites some, and it's not there too.
Even google doesn't have any links to source. Web Archive also.

So it's lost in the Web, but as we saw, there are still n950's owner that got it mirrored, so can upload it somewhere.

Re: Is it possible to revive this N950?

And checked this:

http://maemo.cloud-7.de/950/myimages/

Found it from this site.

http://www.who.is.free.fr/wiki/doku....-flashing-log#

There are threads and sites to check if there has someone shared the .bin

And from here I have found many times files people have shared. There are quite many pages to check if someone has shared some N950 related.

Re: Is it possible to revive this N950?

I mean there are links to sites to check with internet archives wayback machine.
