Developer Mode not starting (N9)
 

So, this has been talked about twice in the forums but with no conclusion.
here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...developer+mode
and here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...developer+mode


I share this problem, so I thought a detailed walk-through of the error might be useful for solving it.

First time I powered on my N9, I was on PR 1.0, and enabled Developer mode successfully, but after the next restart, the Developer mode was disabled and trying to enable it again would result in the error:


I thought updating might solve the problem.

I flashed fiasco up to PR 1.1, didn't help.

I tried installing manually, using the files from http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/...eveloper-mode/ , but installing them results in an error saying that the dependencies could not be resolved.

I reflashed, both fiasco and mmc. Again no use.

Does anybody have any idea what to do?

:?

You can use "dpkg -l <package name>" or "dpkg -l | grep <package name>" (the "-l" is a small L) to see if it is installed. Installed indicates with a "ii" and uninstalled with "un" infront of package. No need for devel-su. If the output is empty then it doesn't exist in the repo and need to be installed through the browser.

To see dependancies you can use "apt-cache showpkg <package name>"

same issue here as he has linked to my thread.

i have been able to force the installation and get it to allow dev mode....BUT

i cannot root the device.

after entering devel-su/rootme this is my output:

Re: Developer Mode not starting (N9)
 

That sounds like an aegis error.. Do you have all the necessary packages installed?

Re: Developer Mode not starting (N9)
 

thanks to rainisto for helping, i was not able to get devel-su working, but opensh still gives me root!

here is the link he gave me to dl the opensh.deb file.

after you install it, open terminal and type

and it will give you root access.

Re: Developer Mode not starting (N9)
 

I had this problem after flashing phone including emmc.So I flashed it again and same problem.So I now cleared the device and flashed fully again.this time I decided to use gprs connection instead of my broadband and this time it worked!

So I'm not sure if it was clearing the device and flashing or using a different internet connection!

I love this phone by the way
