The WARNING Before Flashing:
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 casually or
just for fun and follow all the instructions very carefully. I am not responsible if anything goes wrong
anyhow.
You can flash your dead Nokia mobile phone by
yourself using a USB data cable/connectivity cable. The tool, which is required
to flash the phone, is Nokia's Phoenix Service Software. Please remember that
you can perform a successful flash on your phone only if its firmware has been
lost or corrupted. If your phone is not turning on due to any hardware issue,
then this procedure will not work for it. To flash a dead Nokia mobile phone,
follow the below steps
1.
Download and install the Phoenix Service Software
2.
Download the firmware of your phone. You can download it with Navifrim or can
search it on the web
3.
Install the firmware to the directory C:\Program
Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\Folder*
4.
The Folder* should be created manually for the concerned firmware, if it is not
created during firmware installation. If the firmware files are in form of .zip
or any other compression, then extract/copy the firmware files to the specified
location. For example, for keeping the firmware files of RM-240, the location
will be C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-240
5.
The above mentioned location is default for Phoenix Service Software. If you
have installed the Phoenix Service Software in a different location, then make
sure to keep the folder with firmware files within Products
folder
6. After successful installation, launch Phoenix
Service Software
7. Connect your mobile phone using the USB data
cable/connectivity cable of the phone 8. Select "No Connection" in Phoenix
Service Software window as shown below

from the list. You can find it under the battery in your phone. If you don't
know, which firmware is suitable for it, then search it on the web by model
name
- Click on the bordered button to select variants for your phone as shown
below
- Select the desired
variant/product code for flashing with
Note
that the variants should be shown in the appeared window if the concerned
firmware files are present in the correct directory within the folder with
firmware name as C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\xx-xxx (xx-xxx is the firmware
version. e.g: RM-240)
- After selecting the variant/product code, check the box with "Dead phone
USB flashing" and then click on "Refurbish"
- A dialogue may appear with some instructions, follow them to continue
- Wait for the flashing to complete
- Your phone will be restarted after successful flash
Insructions:
If your mobile phone is not detected by the Phoenix Service Software, then you
may need to install the PC Suite of the phone or the flashing drivers
manually.
Switch
Off the phone completely and wait for the “phone connect” prompt
dialog box to appear (when Phoenix asks to connect the
phone with PC). When it appears connect the switched off phone to PC using data
cable. Press mobile’s Power On/Off button for a few seconds until flashing
starts at Phoenix. Wait for the process to complete, it may take 10-15 minutes.
DO NOT touch the phone or data cable during the process. When the process
completes, phone will restart, now disconnect it from PC and enjoy.
