How to Flash your Nokia device via Phoenix USB Dead Flashing

Flashingyour 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 devicehas 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. This

is not intended for consumers though. Disclaimer:Nokia Revolution is not liable for any damage will cause

to your device. So read instructions carefully. If you have doubts, you can put a comment here or join our

Facebook group for a quicker response.

WHATS IN IT FOR YOU

Can be used to restore a dead phone by unsuccessful software update or flashing.

Can be used to update your device with the latest firmware from Navifirm when your region doesnt

support the updates or not yet available. (NAVIFIRM is the ultimate all-purpose tool for downloading

Nokia firmware images, obtaining lists of product codes, and finding the right product code for your

phone. NAVIFIRMdownloads all this straight from Nokias servers so you dont have to wait for people

to post data packages and lists of product codes.)

Can be used to flash your device using a Cooked Firmware (CFW) compatible with your device.

On this tutorial, I will provide a step by step instruction on how to flash your device using DEAD USB

FLASHING. I have tested this with Symbian^3/Nokia Belle devices. Dead USB flashing makes a clean and

bug free flashing of your firmware. You can use this to flash your device using a CFW or an Original Firmware

(OFW)

THINGS NEEDED

Make sure your device has sufficient battery power. 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. He has CFWs for Nokia X7, N8 and Pureview 808. Click here.

Phoenix software, Click here

USB cable for your device

Make a back up your files

Take out your microSD card

FOR A BUG FREE FLASHINGBefore you begin flashing your device. This should be performed for a clean

and bug free flashing.

While your device is on, plug the USB cable to your device and to your PC and initiate Mass Storage mode.

Delete folders on E:/ such as private, sys, system and resource

Format your E:/ drive. I use this formatting tool. Click here. Just click on Full Erase ON.

After formatting your drive, press *#7370#on your home screen. Just click YESto delete all files. It will

restart your device, but as soon as you see the Nokia logo press and hold the Power button until it vibrates

to OFF.

Lets Start!

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.

2. Click File then selectOpen Product

3. A window will appear, select the device model and the corresponding product code of your phone. To find

your product code Press *#0000#on your dialer while your mobile device is on.

4. SelectFirmware Updateoption inFlashingmenu.

5. Pressbutton on the top-right corner of the window to select the language pack/product code You want

to use on your flashing. Click on the product code / language pack that you have selected and press OK

button.

6. It will now show the Product code you have selected. Tick the Dead phone USB flashing.

7. Click on Refurbish. Then youll get a pop-up window, follow the instruction. If it did not work, best option

is to Disconnect the USB cablefrom your device. Press and Hold the Power buttonof your phone

for 8 seconds. Once it vibrates, release the Power button and immediately connect the USB back into your

phones port. Then you should see the flashing starts.

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 Firmware updating succeeded. 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 Firmware updating succeededbut 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 alter ing 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.

Well, the phoenix software is also used by people from Nokia Care Center. There are certian nokia device models

supported by this not all. There are nokia devices which needs to use certain cables and stuff for flashing i think

thise are the old models

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?
