pheonix for flashing nokia n73

I've upgraded my N73 to the following firmware:N73 rm-133 v4.0839.42.2.1 ar en (new)

Steps to Flash or install this new firmware using Phoenix

Things u need to do before installing Phoenix Service Software--Remove Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Software Updater, Nokia Care Suite, Nokia Modem Drivers, Nokia Connectivity Drivers and all other Nokia stuff from your system thr

ough Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.-Restart your PC.-Do not connect your phone before installing Phoenix software.-Now ensure you have no antivirus software or any other software running on yourpc or in the system tray while you are using Phoenix ....(if your antivirus doesnt support disabling then go to safe mode and install Phoenix.). You should turn them off while using Phoenix. Make sure your system doesn't have any hanging problem.-Charge your phone battery to at least 70%. Although flashing takes only 7-10 minutes.

Installing Phoenix Service Software 2008

-First Extract the archive you have downloaded which contains Phoenix Service Software 2008-Install the software. Be patient, it may take some minutes to install all the components.-Don't run Phoenix software now.-connect your Nokia handset to your pc with USB cable in PC Suite mode.-windows will start installing the connectivity drivers as soon as you connect the phone. Let it install completely.

Installing Firmware Files From The Offline Package You Downloaded:-If your firmware file is in .rar format, first extract it using WinRar on deskt

op.-On desktop you will find .exe file of your firmware file.-Install the exe file. Do not change its path. It will install it to default location of C:\Program files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\-If you have downloaded a firmware File which Doesn't have an autosetup,then just copy your Extracted folder Manually in the directory:C:\Program files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\-Be sure you install updated firmware. You cannot downgrade your phone's firmware in BB5 phones which includes all new Nokia phones including N-Series.-Phoenix allows downgrading but your phone doesn't allow it as your phone has some special security built into it. So no use of trying it. You'll get an error message.

Flashing Procedure (Updating to latest firmware version):-Open Phoenix Service Software.-Connect your phone in PC Suite Mode.
