Also known as

  • Nokia dead USB with Phoenix Service Software
  • Nokia repair flash using Phoenix Service Software
  • Nokia dead phone flashing howto Phoenix Service Software

 Notes

  • Phone battery should be charged (check it in another phone)
  • It is recommended to close all applications (on computer)
  • You may lose any warranty by flashing the phone
  • Even though the pictures show the flashing of a Nokia N8-00, this procedure applies to all BB5 Nokia phones
  • Phoenix does not check the firmware version of the phone, and downgrading the firmware could lead to the phone not turning on; therefore use the newest firmware available

 Dead Nokia phone flashing procedure

1. Remove phone from cable. Make sure it is turned off. If it is neccessary, remove and insert battery.
2. Extract downloaded firmware into the "Products" folder of Phoenix program files directory (like in "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-XXX").
3. Run Phoenix Service Software as administrator. (Windows Vista, 7: right click -> run as administrator; XP: login with administrator privileges). Select "NO CONNECTION" as connection type.
