My phone OS version is: meego 1.2 Harmattan 1.2011.15-7_PR_RM680 , but I can't find any mirror or guide to re-flash a n950.
N950 is so much rarer than N9 that there are less resources available. I think the flasher images are different for it and the latest N950 image is indeed 1.2 (If I remember correctly there was an unofficial 1.3 but someone having N950 might be able to clarify)

[HOWTO] Comprehensive Firmware Flashing Guide for N9 :

-This guide seems outdated, and he do not explain the reason or advantages of flashing the device.Most of links are broken.
Advantages of flashing the device; well if you break something badly then it is of course necessary... also installing other OS'es or modified kernels requires flashing.

I readed the topic and I found many links, tips , and recommendations but I do not understand the purpose of them:

Harmattan Trusted repository. Certified source.

-What is this trusted repository ?
Selection of tools by @coderus in openrepos

-What is exactly this Aegis used for ?
Aegis is the security framework in Harmattan N9(5)0 devices. It is used to disallow installing non-nokia-signed software and firmware in the device.
There are several ways to neuter aegis, either using security vulnerabilities to get around it or flashing the device with an openmode kernel. Both have theit upsides and downsides.

I'd imagine you should heed the warning, so do not use that on Harmattan 1.2

I'm afraid you won't be able to have those... well there was a firefox port with newer features IIRC but it was sluggish if I remember correctly

Since as I know it uses the BL-4D model right ?
Could be, I have only once touched a N950 so cannot help you there
