@ALL
Ok seems I need to make it clear to everyone that:
1. ALL N9 CANNOT BE DOWNGRADED TO A LOWER FIRMWARE VERSION and most importantly 2. FIRMWARE VERSION checking WILL INCLUDE THE VARIANT VERSION!!! For example, you got an N9 with the Latest Firmware Version and it came from China with a CHINESE VARIANT Firmware Inside. Typically, CHINESE VARIANT is 003...
Sample Filename for Chinese Variant Firmware:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_003-OEM1-958_ARM.bin Ok, so from the FILENAME, it clearly tells you the following:
Firmware Version:
30.2012.07-1 Firmware Variant: 003 So what if you want to flash ARABIC to it??? Will you be able to Flash??? The Answer is YES, IF YOU CAN FIND AN ARABIC VARIANT which is HIGHER than 003... Here are sample filenames for LATEST FIRMWARE with ARABIC: DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.468.2_PR_LEGACY_468_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.334.1_PR_LEGACY_334_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin Your Phone will accept the ARABIC Firmware for sure, because 468 is BIGGER than 003 and 334 is also BIGGER than 003 So now after flashing with ARABIC, Do you think it is still possible to flash your phone BACK to CHINESE 003 ??? Simple Answer: NO! Why Sir Why ???? Because Arabic Variant 468 or 334 is HIGHER than Chinese Variant 003 !!! So you 2 options if you want to flash back to Chinese... 1. Find a FIRMWARE VARIANT with CHINESE which is BIGGER than 468 (maybe it does not exists)! 2. Wait for a newer FIRMWARE VERSION, higher than 30.2012.07-1 So the next time you guys get an error in ATF Software telling you:
ERROR: MEEGO Device Flashing Failed!
Firmware Version Downgrade NOT ALLOWED
Please use a HIGHER Firmware Version...
Please Do not blame the ATF Software, because it is only telling the TRUTH! Find yourself the solution by looking for a flash file with a HIGHER VARIANT and with the correct Language Pack Inisde (if Possible)... Here is an example of a VARIANT with a HIGH NUMBER Australian:
DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1.523.2_PR_LEGACY_
523_ARM_RM-696_PRD_signed.bin
Here is an example of a Variant with a LOW NUMBER
DFL61_HARMATTAN_30.2012.07-1_PR_LEGACY_
001-OEM1-958_ARM.bin
I HOPE EVERYTHING IS VERY CLEAR NOW!!! Just search for VARIANTS with HIGH NUMBERS in NAVIFIRM+
