WARNING: Phone flashing is a double-edged sword; it may be useful and dangerous at the same time. It may brick/damage your phone for good (If not done carefully), so please DO NOT flash your device if you don’t know what the hell “Flashing a phone” is.
In a previous post I have described normal flashing of Nokia phones with Phoenix. However the method described in that post works only when the phone is in working condition and is being flashed with original firmware files.
In this post I will describe the use of latest version of Phoenix to flash the phone (working or dead) with a custom (hacked) firmware (or the original firmware if required). This flashing is usually done in “Dead Phone USB” mode (because in this mode the phone remains switched off and get flashed peacefully (less probability of errors). Also this method works in all situations – normal flashing, dead/bricked phone or custom firmware flashing. Anyway, carefully read rest of the post.
You need to have following before continuing with the process –
a. Phoenix latest version (Download and install from here or from 4shared.com or search Google for “Phoenix 2012 download”) – only for Windows
b. Navifirm (Download from here)
c. Original Firmware files (downloaded via Navifirm)
d. OPTIONAL – In case you want to flash the phone with a Custom/hacked/leaked firmware then you will also need Custom Firmware files (usually .uda, core and/or rofs files) – you should know where to get these (or search Google). Read this post to know where to get Symbian Belle (leaked) firmware files for Nokia N8.
Now before proceeding with the actual flashing process, make sure -
A. Backup your important phone content (Contacts, media files etc) via PC Suite/Nokia Ovi Suite. Preferably format your memory card and mass storage memory before flashing the phone (or if you don’t want to format the memory then at least delete everything in E:/sys, E:/private, E:/resource, F:/sys, F:/resource and F:/private folders by connecting the phone to PC in “Mass storage mode”).
B. Download your phone’s original FW files via Navifirm (if you don’t know how to use Navifirm then read this post). Better do not download the xyz.emmc.fpsx file (Memory card content) which is very large in size (around 1GB for N8) and thus will take too much time to download.
C. You can also modify and create your own hacked custom firmware using Nokia Cooker (to safely hack the phone) – refer to this post
D. If you want to flash N8 with Symbian Belle (any leaked firmware) then make sure that you have updated to Symbian Anna first (i.e. you need to have Anna installed rather than any older firmware).
E. ALSO REMEMBER that – DO NOT CONNECT THE PHONE with PC at this stage and until the last step of this process when Phoenix will ask to connect it (Even then connect the phone in “Switched Off” condition)
All set up! Now follow the instructions and screenshots given below –
1. Launch Phoenix and go to “Tools/Data Package Download”
Create a folder named RM-xxx (replace “xxx” with the actual product code of your phone – for example it will be RM-596 for Nokia N8) in the last folder of the location noted in the above screenshot. (Plus also create RM-xxx in “C:/Program Files/Nokia/Phoenix/Products” in case the location in the screenshot is different from it). Now place (copy/paste) all the downloaded ORIGINAL firmware files (and not the hacked or custom ones) into the “RM-xxx” folder that you have just created in both the locations above.
2. Go to File/Open Product in Phoenix
Note however that if you want to flash the phone with original firmware files (and not the hacked ones) then do not click on “Options” (as shown in the above screenshot), instead check/tick the “Dead phone USB flashing” option and then click on “Refurbish” tab and directly go to the last screenshot below….
Otherwise if you are flashing with a hacked/custom firmware then follow the above and rest of the screenshots given below…
Note however that if you are flashing the phone with the hacked uda.fpsx file only (usually created for phone hacking – as described in this post), then just swap the uda file (and not the rofs and others as described in the above screenshot, thus only uda file entry will turn bold). Now proceed to the next step.
Switch Off the phone completely and wait for the “phone connect” prompt to appear (When Phoenix asks to connect the phone with PC). When it appears click OK and connect the switched off phone to PC using data cable. Flashing will start, wait for the process to complete (do not touch the phone or data cable during the process). After the process completes, phone will reboot, now disconnect it from PC and enjoy.
Troubleshooting -
How to avoid “Nokia dongle” error? – Make sure to disable Antivirus(es) software running in your PC before launching Phoenix, to rectify Nokia Dongle error on Phoenix start-up.
Do not panic if something goes wrong, try following
1. Format the phone with *#7370# code and see if this solves the issue
2. Hard reset the phone by key combinations and see if this solves the issue otherwise
3. Flash the phone again with original firmware files (that you downloaded with Navifirm) by following the above method and everything should be OK
Still, for any problem, comments are welcome….

Hi,
Can we use this technique for 3110c
September 4, 2011 at 9:57 PM
Definitely you can use this method with 3110c if you have the original FW files.
September 4, 2011 at 11:37 AM
Hi.
I am planning to flash my Original Nokia N8 with Updated Anna (Through Regulat Ovi Suite). I want to flash with Original Firmware only (To enable me to install unsigned apps).
Should i continue while Anna is already installed to flashing with Original Anna Firware again, Or should i uninstall the new update and then try flashing.
Thanks
September 4, 2011 at 9:53 PM
With original FW you can not install unsigned apps. Also you can not uninstall an OS update (like Anna) any how.
March 25, 2012 at 10:49 PM
brother agr hum ovi pc suite se anna se belle main update kara toh kia ye dead ho sakta hai ?
please brother tell me
March 26, 2012 at 11:34 PM
Bilkul nahin hoga bhai, agar caarefully kiya jaaye. Aur haan broadband hi hona chahiye update ke liye (firmware files download karne ke liye).
September 5, 2011 at 2:24 AM
I flash my phone with original firmware to fix the problem…Later i’ll try to hack.
September 5, 2011 at 2:48 AM
I hacked my phone !! Thanks and sorry for my previous comment…
September 5, 2011 at 2:48 PM
Hey guys any idea when the original anna update is going to be coming for the North American variant(059C8T6) n8 phones? I unluckily fell upon this particular variant eventhough I live thousands of miles away from America! And sorry if this has been asked to much but will I be able to revert back to the original firmware,without any harm done, should I choose to flash belle right now?
September 8, 2011 at 1:35 PM
I am using the tutorial from step C above to create my own hacked firmware.The only file i am editing is the uda.fpsx. So is this the only file i swap out when using phoenix? Or do i just place all original files and the hacked .uda.fpsx file in the nokiaphoenixproductsRM-XXX folder?Thank you to anyone for helping out.
September 10, 2011 at 1:11 AM
Yes you got it right Ryan, you just have to swap the original uda.fpsx file with the hacked one (that you have created) – this is the easy way out. However you will have to place all the original files in the above folder and swap the file later on when using Phoenix. The other option is also correct – just note down the name of original uda file and rename the hacked file exactly as original and then replace the original one with this renamed hacked uda file in the above location and then flash with Phoenix normally (No swapping required during the process)…..
September 9, 2011 at 8:57 AM
mrng. sir. i m using nokia 5130. type=RM-495, ver. 07.95, code: 0577794.
but unfortunately my phone turned off in prv. week. now i want to flashing it into “dead usb mode”
i have followed all your instruction in this blog but at last stage i am unable to tick ‘dead usb mode’ box..it does not response..
pls tell me that what can i do..pls
what will it be treated after downloading from navifirm? original or hacked?
September 9, 2011 at 2:57 PM
Files downloaded via Navifirm are official files and not the hacked one. And if dead phone usb option is not being ticked then make sure that you have not connected the phone before being asked by Phoenix. Do let me know if itworks….
September 9, 2011 at 5:26 PM
Finally got my E7 hacked. I had to disable my firewall and antivirus when performing the “refurbish” stage. Otherwise, I kept getting the error “boot rom was not detected”. Excellent guide!
September 10, 2011 at 12:47 AM
Thanks buddy for the useful advice. Actually I forgot to write this in the post. I am happy that you hacked your phone with this method….
September 10, 2011 at 2:21 AM
man this making me crazy …i always finish a problem to fall in another problem
now when i open the (flashing/firmware update)and i click on the (…) button an error comes saying that (neither DP1.0 nor DP2.0 was found for the product or the product cannot be identified.)
September 10, 2011 at 9:36 AM
just ignore this…i solved it

September 11, 2011 at 1:23 AM
hi
I confuse on this step
“Note however that if you are flashing the phone with the hacked uda.fpsx file only (usually created for phone hacking – as described in this post), then just swap the uda file (and not the rofs and others as described in the above screenshot, thus only uda file entry will turn bold). Now proceed to the next step.”
What it mean?
September 12, 2011 at 11:53 PM
This described the step for hacking the phone with a custom uda file (means that follow this step if phone is being flashed with a (custom) uda file only. All other files are taken original and are not changed/swapped during flashing process).
January 29, 2012 at 10:21 PM
and i dont understand this……
Create a folder named RM-xxx (replace “xxx” with the actual product code of your phone – for example it will be RM-596 for Nokia N8) in the last folder of the location noted in the above screenshot. (Plus also create RM-xxx in “C:/Program Files/Nokia/Phoenix/Products” in case the location in the screenshot is different from it). Now place (copy/paste) all the downloaded ORIGINAL firmware files (and not the hacked or custom ones) into the “RM-xxx” folder that you have just created in both the locations above
i want to flash my fone (nokia 5233) with c6 cfw files that i have downloaded
January 31, 2012 at 10:52 PM
NEVER FLASH YOUR PHONE WITH FIRMWARE FILES OF SOME OTHER PHONE AS THIS WILL DAMAGE THE PHONE.
September 12, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I have tried to refurbish my X6 downloaded via Navifirm(original?). Everything goes right up to last step i.e. connecting phone. Then After sometime connecting the phone it gives amessage box as;
“The flashing failed. Do you want to retry the flashing?
HRESULT 0x8401f141 (-2080247487)
Flash: Boot rom was not detected after phone boot up. Unable to start flashing.”
tell me what is wrong?
I have formatted both the drives but of no use….
i have Rm-559 v 31.0.004, trying to update v32.0.001
thanks for reading.
September 12, 2011 at 11:38 PM
Remove any password set for device security (security code, pin code etc) and try again. If the problem persists then try flashing with J.A.F.
September 13, 2011 at 12:57 AM
I hv tried removing pass. But of no use. Now JAF only remains?! No other solu.?
Thanks

while fglashing my nokia n8 with symbian belle its say “Nither DP1.0 or DP2.0 was not found for the product or the product cannot be identified for n8 …..please help be i dont know what to do…
September 14, 2011 at 10:27 PM
Boss All goes successfully…like this
“Flashing started
Creating product data items list…
…………………
All operations completed
Firmware updating succeeded.”
but it doesn’t restart the phone auto or after waiting 15-20 mins and started forcefully manually by pressing power botton it goes dead…i repeated this atleast 3-4 times; not success.
but another surprizing..when i select original unedited firmware files it goes trough….i did it twice successfully.phone restarts itself….
what does it mean???
and what about hacking? it is not hacked yet.
i selected that 3 .idd file and repacked it with NFEstd 0.3..the edited file was “Rebuild.fpsx”
and 1thing nokiacooker 1.1 latest downloaded from symbian-toys.com not working says “old version”
this is the story. pls help me if u can early..thanks
September 14, 2011 at 11:03 PM
It looks like that NFEstd did not repacked uda file properly. Use Nokia Cooker for this task. Read this post to solve the “old version error” of Nokia Cooker – http://www.digipassion.com/2011/08/solving-this-nokia-cooker-version-too-old-error.html
And let me know the result…gud luck

March 30, 2012 at 3:14 AM
Sir, i have got lastly a NOKIA C6-01
My friend upgraded it for me, from Anna to Belle. All works fine but i look forward a bette Custom Firmware CFW, because cfw usually works better and faster than Nokia Original OS.
So, can you help me please to find the right cfw for my C6-01 ?
If so, you can contact me on my facebook http://www.facebook.com/hamsterboye
Big thanks
September 17, 2011 at 2:30 AM
Dude! You are a gift from the heavens. Thank you for your efforts in putting a fantastic guide together. It worked first try!
September 25, 2011 at 8:18 AM
Thanks, worked like magic. Used it to flash Anna on my N8 (Anna is available for unbranded Brazilian N8s, but not for the branded ones).
Interesting to note that, contrary to what I read on some forums, updating with Ovi Suite after this process did not bring back the original firmware, although the Product Code is still the same (Claro Operator variant) one. Ovi Suite offered two specific Anna updates, and they installed fine.
I had the “The flashing failed. Do you want to retry the flashing? HRESULT 0x8401f141 (-2080247487) Flash: Boot rom was not detected after phone boot up. Unable to start flashing.” error, but it was gone after I set the phone not to ask for PIN code nor lock code when the SIM is swapped, and removed the SIM.
Also to note:
- Some product codes (including the Brazilian unbranded one) do not include the Mem. Card Content file, so it has to be deleted from Options, or Phoenix complains that the file is not found.
- When I ran Phoenix for the first time as a (Vista) Administrative user, it complained of an unregistered dll. I then used right-click “Run as Administrator” and the message did not show up anymore.
Thanks again!

To do this you will have to flash the phone (by above method) with the official firmware files (downloaded using Navifirm).

Hi. A solution to a serie of troubles with Phoenix in Windows7, is starting the program in “XP Compatibility mode”; I did this and finally was able to finish the flashing of my Nokia X3.

TRy what Joao S Veiga mentioned above. I was having the exact same problem until i read hispost. Followed it & 5 minutes later I was on Nokia Belle!
November 7, 2011 at 12:00 PM
thanks for the post,
it really helped me….
November 7, 2011 at 2:30 PM
Maaaaaaaaan you are the…. Thank you so much for the tutorial it worked perfectly for me. Although I also received the “Neither DP1.0 nor DP2.0 was found for the product, Or the product cannot be identified”. but after couple of research online
1. I noticed I should keep the RM-xxx folder in only one place
-C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Phoenix\Products for 64 bit
-C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products for 32 bit
2. Tool -> Option -> Program Location
– Make sure Data Package 1.0 point EXACTLY to the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Phoenix”
– You can leave the other two fields below blank, upon saving you will be asked to choose the default locations.
3. You must keep the RM-xxx folder EITHER in program files (depending on 32 bit or 64 bit system) or C:\ProgramData\Nokia\Packages. If you keep it in both locations you will have an error of having the files in more than one location.
P.S. This is my first time EVER to flash a phone and I repeat the tutorial is PERFECT these are just some changes that might be linked to the version of Phoenix that I used for the task.

November 28, 2011 at 9:42 AM
i have downloaded all “Original” files which are listed in Navifirm for nokia 5233 v50.1.1
but dont know which files required for flash the nokia 5233
so will you please tell me which files required for flashing

.fpsx
.rofs3.fpsx and all
so please please tell me which files required…..
November 29, 2011 at 1:25 AM
In normal flashing (with original firmware), all files are required.
December 9, 2011 at 12:25 AM

Thanks but your tutorial is quite confusing at the end when you said we should connect out phone FIRST before pressing OK. Anyways, great tutorial and I’m very appreciate it.
December 25, 2011 at 6:58 AM
Thank you, excellent guide. Using it I was easily able to change my Nokia 701 from standard Taiwan 059L6F6 / 111.010.1009 to newer standard UK firmware 111.030.0609.01.01. One minor comment that may help other users; during the install an error message was shown that the *.emmc.* file was missing. Using the other steps shown above I simply used Options to unselect this optional file and then the flashing proceeded perfectly. Thanks so much for spending the time to share your knowledge.

Hello.
I have a simlocked Nokia C6-01 orange Romania – C6_01_718_Orange_Romania_RO_Silver_S3.1_V2(059H0J3)
I want to change firmware using Phoenix with an other one that it’s called: romania_silver(059C269).
Will this change remove the simlock?
Please tell me because I am verry confused.
Otherwise a very well explained guide.

Getting this error when clicking on option during flashing with Custom Firmware. How to solve this? – Flashing files retrieving failed: 0×84210021(-2078212063- Firmware CRC Checksum of file “‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-559\RM-559_40.0.002_prd.rofs2.V20′ does not match with checksum in data-package”.

I have Nokia 5530 flashed with C6 custom firmware,flashed with J.A.F,but i deleted some files from C/Private and my phone wont turn on,he displey this eror:Phone start-up failed.Contact the retailer.Please help me l dont what to do???
February 15, 2012 at 10:14 PM
what are the maximum brick\damage that will happening to the phone if the flashing firemware failed ???
does the phone will not never work again ?
please answer me .
thanks to you
February 15, 2012 at 11:07 PM
It is not predictable. The max damage is that the phone may become unusable/dead and can only be repaired by expert technicians. However this is rare and most of the cases can be solved by re-flashing the phone again.

Hi, I want to flash my nokia x7 RM-659 with RM-707 to get Belle is there any problem with that? thanks in advance
February 22, 2012 at 11:50 PM
cheers buddy it took me some time but worked a treat !!!
February 24, 2012 at 9:33 AM
Mr Siddiqui… You say: “delete everything in E:/sys, E:/private, F:/sys and F:private folders by connecting the phone to PC via “Mass storage mode”).”..
I can access the memory card sys and private folders, but can not access the phone memory, at least I don’t know how..
Maybe someone can tell me..Thanks
February 26, 2012 at 8:31 PM
Hey dear,
You don’t have to (and you can’t) access/delete sys/private folders of phone memory via PC. E: and F: are mass storage and memory card (phone memory is denoted by C:
Hope this clarifies the doubts.

My mobile model is Nokia n97 mini. I downloaded totally 80 types of font styles. Initially i tried two different font styles by pasting them into E:\Resource\Fonts and i used to restart the phone to get there effect. Those things worked fine and i got new font styles too, but third time, I copied another different font style and pasted into the folder E:\Resource\Fonts ant restarted the phone. But this time, phone started to behave abnormally. When i try to switch it on, it gives light for few seconds and gets off automatically and then restarts automatically and then gets off, and this happens for 3 to 4 times and then finally becomes off. I flashed this phone according to your instructions and flashing completed successfully. Then again i tried to switch it on but no improvements.Then i tried to Hard Reset, but it is not happening because mobile is not restarting completely to make it possible. It is still the same. My question is; Is this caused by copying that file(may be containing virus} ???? or is there any hardware problem??? Are there any methods to solve this problem??? Or shall i visit Nokia Care???
PLEASE HELP ME FRIEND AND THANKS FOR YOUR VERY NICE AND KEEN INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT FLASHING…. PLEASE REPLY
March 5, 2012 at 12:46 AM
From your description it looks like the font file has bricked your phone. Besides N97 (and Mini) is notorious of having a faulty firmware so better visit Nokia Care.
March 5, 2012 at 1:04 PM
hi… thnks a lot , truly i folowed several tutorials but nothing works coz difficult thing is to connect a phone to pc , but this tutotial works so gud.. but phone was not connected with it by press ok.. i press power n then ok , ik works. thnks…

March 10, 2012 at 2:00 PM
Can I continue using SW Update or Nokia Updater in my phone to update apps after flashing to Belle by PHOENIX?
March 10, 2012 at 8:15 PM
Of course, you can (and you should) use SW update after Belle flashing.
March 13, 2012 at 8:20 PM
Thanks for the guide,
but after following every step the phone (Nokia Xpress Music)wouldn’t work; still says “Contact Service” — the same problem that made me want to flash it. Help pls……………..
March 13, 2012 at 8:38 PM
Unfortunately, flashing is a hit or miss process, it may click for you or may not click at all. So no luck buddy….better contact a trained mobile repairing guy or Nokia care for your problem.
March 14, 2012 at 8:42 PM
I thought flashing was supposed to clear all errors on the phone
but after successfully flashing mine, the error still remains.
Any time I switch on the phone (Xpress Music) it would briefly flash the error message — “Contact Service” — and go off immediately. Pls is there anything else I can do to recover the phone???
March 17, 2012 at 6:28 PM
dudes here is the correct way to revive a dead phone:
FLASHING A DEAD PHONE WITH PHOENIX
just download your firmware from bluenokia.com and install it to your computer.
1. Start Phoenix. Connect your phone through USB Cable (we are flashing a dead phone so the phone is off)
2. Click File > Open Product. Select your RM code from the window that appears. Click OK.
4. Now select Flashing > Firmware Update.
5. Check the option “Dead Phone USB Flashing”.
6. Click Refurbish and just click ok. now take note THIS IS VERY IMPORTATANT: YOU NEED TO PRESS THE POWER BUTTON UNTIL YOU HEAR A SOUND, DONT RELEASE YET UNTIL ITS SAYS Flashing SingleAsic device something in the phoenix ui.
7. Flashing will proceed. Your phone will automatically start when the flashing finishes. When done, you can safely remove your data cable from handset.
March 17, 2012 at 11:01 PM
if Phoenix fails, try JAF.
following method for flashing worked for nokia E71 after handset refused to accept correct lock code.
firstly, disable antivirus and firewall on your PC/Laptop
Back up mobile phone data and remove memory card
set pin lock request to ‘off’ and remove sim…then turn phone on again without sim
if you’re faced with the dreaded lock code box…hold grey key in bottom left corner and keeping it pressed, press 911 on keypad (or another emergency service number like 112 or 999 etc)…press green dial buttton…press red dial button after 2 secs. lock code box vanishes! hopefully.
also delete the firmware files for your phone from the C:/ProgramData/Nokia/.. folder. Keep it in one location in the C:/ProgramFiles/Nokia/Phoenix/Products/.. folder as explained in the above tutorial.
conect phone via usb cable…select ‘PC Suite’ on phone when prompted
let any device software drivers install
open JAF pkey Emulator
click ok on error box when it shows
click on ‘BB5′ tab
Have the following boxes/circles selected
Manual Flash
Dead USB (ONLY if your phone is truly dead and will not switch on!)
Factory Set
Use INI
CRT 308
LifeTime Reset
Codes unlock
now press the ‘FLASH’ button
shortly a list of devices will come up…choose correct one for your handest…(i chose RM-346 for my E71)
click yes to any warning dialogue boxes
flashing process will take about 10 minutes…your phone may blink…reboot etc. ignore it.
ignore taskbar notifications too
*DO NOT TOUCH PHONE OR DATA CABLE AFTER PRESSING ‘FLASH’ BUTTON*
a progress bar at bottom should turn fully green and show gradual progression
when you see the following in the text window:
DONE!
DONE!
then you know it’s all done. don’t worry if yopur phone screen shows the following message:
Test mode
NOKIA
detach usb cable…remove battery…insert sim card…replace battery…switch on handset and voila!
You did it! Hopefully no more lock code error I hope and your phone is back to normal

Hey, thanks buddy for helping my readers with your expert advice.
March 24, 2012 at 6:21 PM
hii,,,actually i flash my nokia 3110c more than 3 -4 times,but now when i am flashing the phone it says that –unable to initial boot rom,unable to set phone in flash mode,there is no responce from boot server i tried 40-50 times byt there is no use
March 27, 2012 at 10:56 AM
thank you..your guide save my neck..got my X5-01 back again as good as new..
just to add that if during dead-phone refurbishing an error appeared saying unable to start flashing but if you can still switch on once dead cell as programming is already completed then just try hard reset and then using PC suite reinstall phone software..It should be noted that hard reset is required before reinstallation as without it you will be unable to connect your phone in ‘PC suit mode’..
Thanks again..!!!
March 29, 2012 at 1:38 PM
The flashing failed. Do you want to retry the flashing?
HRESULT 0x8401f141 (-2080247487)

thank you.
May 10, 2012 at 9:12 AM
I am having a problem that no one else seems to report. The Dead phone USB flashing doesn’t work. After it tells me to connect the turned off N8, it sits at the Waiting for Device message. But the bottom status bar in Phoenix, which isn’t shown on any of your screen shots, says there is NO CONNECTION. Any idea why? I flashed my wife’s N8 6 months ago and I remember it needed to be connected first, and was connected.
Thanks

May 15, 2012 at 1:39 PM
No, it applies to Nokia phones only.
February 26, 2012 at 8:12 PM
You will have to download and install latest .Net framework from Microsoft in your PC. It is free for Windows and you can search Google to download it.
May 10, 2012 at 9:13 AM
Is that a reply to me? I did that. I did an update too after that.
Thanks
