Flashing your phone is not an easy thing for an average mobile user. But if you can follow steps carefully then its gonna be a breeze. I was also hesitant before to flash my Nokia N8 via Phoenix but now flashing my device has never been so difficult. Flashing refers to updating your device firmware(or internal Operating system) or to unlock and debrand. Nokia phoenix is service software by which you can restore and flash a firmware.

Dead USB flashing works when your device is OFF but needs enough battery power when flashing is done and your device is ready to reboot. Firmware files these are CFW or OFW files. You can get the Original Firmware files via Navifirm. Download Navifirm here. For Cooked Firmware, just search it on Google. There are a lot of CFWs in the net but I personally use CFW by The One (he is a good friend of mine). His CFWs are made of stability and speed without sacrificing the battery life.

After formatting your drive, press *#7370# on your home screen. Just click YES to delete all files.

Before flashing, Make sure that the Firmware files are placed into path C:\Program

Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-596 RM folder number will correspond to the RM number of your device. RM-596 is for Nokia N8. 1. Connect your device via USB cable and make sure its turned OFF. Run Phoenix software. Select NO CONNECTION as connection type.

8. After some seconds of flashing, it will pause and prompts for the same instructions as above. Do the same trick as mentioned in Step#7. 9. When the update process finished, a window will appear Firmwareupdatingsucceeded. Your phone will automatically restarts when flashing is done. After that, you can safely remove your data cable from your device. In some cases, when using a CFW, it wont says Firmwareupdatingsucceeded but will just say Flashing Completed. When that happens, the device screen will show Local mode or Test mode or in Nokia Logo. You can try to turn in off by holding the Power button for 8 seconds untill it reaches the multiple vibration. Then restart your device most of the time it works after that. But if not, you have to repeat the flashing process again. GoodLuck!

Flashing your device means resetting the device firmware, it can be both Original or Cooked firmware. Flashing your device via phoenix software is simply altering your device firmware. It is mainly used for fixing corrupted firmwares that cannot be resolved by hard reset or dead phones after failed firmware update. You can also flash your phones using phoenix with Cooked Firmwares or modified firmwares. 0

Try to do a reset using the *#7730# code from the dialer. Make sure you back up your files saved from the phone. Are we talking about the front or the rear camera? 0
