Hi, while flashing my N9, after a "apt-get autoremove" of death which left my phone bricked, I am seeing "Downgrade disallowed" but to my knowledge the versions are ok.

Basically it's a N9 coded 059L4L3, Argentina. I try to flash the firmware:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.348.1_PR_LEGACY_348_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin

obtained from navifirm (I've tried both production-external and nokia-care)

and I am getting the following error:


desktop:/float/download/n9/firmware/image_20_nokia_care$ sudo flasher -f -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.348.1_PR_LEGACY_348_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin -F DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.NOMAPS_EMMC_NOMAPS.bin -R

ERROR: Failed to flash images


From what I can tell it's the same version already in the device, DFL61_HARMATTAN_20.2011.40-4.348.1_PR_348, could anybody help me understand why am I seeing "Downgrade disallowed", and more important how to fix it?

The same error is shown when I don't use the eMMC image. For the record I am using Linux Ubuntu 2.6.38-8-generic 64 bits, and the phone isn't booting.

Thanks,
Sebastian.
