I am not responsible if anything goes wrong! In this post I will explain the use of Phoenix Service Software to flash Nokia mobiles (normal flashing when the phone is in working condition).

There are many situations when it becomes necessary to flash a phone for example when format/hard reset is not working, phone is dead/bricked, in boot-loop, stuck at boot white screen or at Nokia logo etc. Besides, flashing can also be used to update phone’s software to latest (or any available) version or to flash a custom firmware.
So if you have any of the above issues, here goes the process, carefully follow the instructions described below – Requirements • Phoenix Service Software • A computer running Windows XP or later • Phone’s stock ROM (official firmware) files • USB data cable (preferably the original one which came bundled with the phone) Some steps prior to flashing the phone • First up remove memory card from the phone before (and during) flashing it. It is recommended to format memory card via computer (or via mobile) as older apps installed in it may not work when it will be used in the flashed mobile again. You will have to re-install all the apps again as flashing will format the phone memory (and mass memory present in newer Symbian phones like Nokia N8) • Note down the product type code of your phone – every Nokia phone has a specific Type code in the format RM-XXX, for example it is RM-596 for Nokia N8. It is usually printed at the sticker below battery or at the phone box. It is also displayed by the phone if you type *#0000# at the standby screen.
