How to flash Nokia phones by yourself

I could still remember some months ago when I need up to #500 before I could flash my Nokia phone. When the engineer becomes a nice fellow, he can reduce it to #400 - #450. My curiosity leads me into searching on how to flash phone myself without requiring the help of an engineer.

I want to tell you this today that you can now flash your Nokia yourself. I write this article for the purpose of increase in personal technology knowledge (not for me only, but for everyone who has the opportunity of reading this post).

Let’s get to business without wasting time. The requirements for this tutorial are Phoenix and Navifirm software. Google search this software or you go to Filehippo.Com or Mediafire.Com to download these software.

After downloading, follow the steps below to complete the tutorial;

• Make sure you’re connected to the internet before you open the Navifirm Software. You can go to a café to do that if you didn’t have any network connection.
• After opening the Navifirm, wait to receive data from server otherwise select Nokia server suite and wait for the connection to load.
• A list of Nokia products with their RM will appear. Select the RM of the phone you wanted to flash. You can get this by typing *#0000# on your Nokia phone.
• Select the version you wish in version dialog box and select the type of firmware you need for your phone.
• In the last dialog box, make sure you mark all the files present in the box either by doing manually or by clicking mark all button at the right hand corner of the box.
• After marking all the files, select the folder you want to download the files to, then click Download button.

Now you’re done with the work of Navifirm. Close your Navifirm software.

• Open your disk folder C:\\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\
• Inside the product folder, create a folder with your phone’s RM so that it will look like this C:\\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-XXX\ where XXX is your RM’s number.
• Copy the files you downloaded with the Navifirm into the RM folder.
• After that, make sure you’ve back up your files. Remove all data cards such as SIM card and Memory Cards.
• Switch off your and connect it to your computer system.
• Launch Phoenix and select NO CONNECTION in the dialog box.
