In this post I will explain the use of Phoenix
(Nokia Service Software) to flash a normal
(not dead) Nokia mobile (taking Nokia N8 as an
example). Flashing means re-installing phones
firmware (Operating system) files. There are many
situations when it becomes necessary to flash a
mobile deletion/corruption of system files, phone
is dead/bricked or any other method to format
the phone is not working etc. Besides, flashing
can also be used to update to latest (or any
available) firmware or to flash a custom/cooked
firmware. So if you have any of the above issue,
here goes the process, carefully follow the
instructions given below as such:
First up, note down your phones Software/
firmware version (find by pressing *#0000# at
standby screen, not applicable if the phone is
dead), product code (on the sticker under
battery in the form of 0XXXXXX) and type (look
at the sticker under the battery, it is in the form
of RM-Bleep). Product code and type of N8 are not
under battery, you can find them at the stickers
on the box.
1. Download and install latest version of Phoenix
Service Software (2011) in your Windows PC
from www.4shared.com or elsewhere (search
Google)
2. Download latest version of Navifirm from here.
Navifirm is a free software, used to download
official firmware files from Nokia servers
3. Run Navifirm and wait until it loads the
Products list (Phone model names/types). A
fast internet connection is recommended
4. Find your phone model in the list and select it
(For example, select RM-596 for Nokia N8)
5. Wait for a while until Navifirm loads Releases/
firmware version list in the adjacent pane.
Select the desired release – the software version
must be the latest one or the one that is already
installed in your phone, remember do not select
the release/SW version that is older than the one
your device already have. If you do not know
which firmware version is installed in your phone
(like in case the phone is not in working
condition) then it is recommended to select the
latest version (usually the last one in the list) to
be on the safer side.
6. Wait until Navifirm loads “Variants” in the
next adjacent pane (Variants are Product codes of
the phone – you can find yours at the sticker
usually below battery or at the package box).
Search and select yours from the list and wait
until Navifirm shows firmware files in the last
pane.
7. Check all the boxes (in the last pane), choose
the save to/download location and click
“Download” button. After download is complete,
go to the download folder and copy all the files.
8. Now go to “C:/Program Files/Nokia/
Phoenix/Products” and create a new folder in
the last folder (“Products”) of the above path and
name it RM-Bleep (which is your phone type code
that you noted earlier, replace “Bleep” with your
phones actual code numbers, for example it will
be RM-596 for N8). Now paste the downloaded
files (copied in the Step 7 above) to the newly
created folder “C:/Program Files/Nokia/
Phoenix/Products/RM-Bleep″. Phoenix will look for
the files in the above folder when flashing the
phone.
9. Launch “Phoenix” in PC and connect your
mobile via Data/USB cable in PC Suite/Nokia Suite
mode. In Phoenix, Go to “File/Scan Product”,
Phoenix will detect the phone. Now select
“Flashing/Firmware Update”
10. At the firmware update window, Phoenix will
automatically look up and find the official
firmware files earlier downloaded via Navifirm.
However if it doesn’t find the files then -
a. Check that the directory “C:/Program Files/
Nokia/Phoenix/Products/RM-Bleep” exists,
(create if it does not and place the firmware files
into it – Step 8 above)
b. Check that the above path is present in all the
three boxes in “Tools/Options/Product
Location” (in Phoenix), set it if it does not and
repeat steps 9 onwards.
If everything upto step 10 goes successful, click
“Refurbish” button, ignore all the warning boxes
that appear during the process. Wait for the
process to complete – DO NOT touch or
disconnect the phone or USB cable during the
process. Phoenix will inform you of successful
completion of the process, when it does,
disconnect and reboot the phone. Thank God that
everything went well….hopefully….best of luck
You may also try flashing with J.A.F. software,
described step-by-step in this post or dead phone
USB Flashing described here.
Note - If Phoenix gives error while running in
Windows Vista or 7 then try running it in
compatibility mode (Right click on Phoenix icon –
Properties – Compatibility – Check “Run this
program in compatibility mode for Windows
XP” (Service Pack 3 or 2) – Click “Apply” and then
OK).
