How to change product code and do firmware update example N79

Hey guys, I got the N79 with firmware 11.049. Now the new firmware is available and I wanted to install it, but it’s not available for my product code. I don’t want to wait for Nokia. We all know how long nokia takes to release the firmwares.

So I flashed my phone with Pheonix, changed the product code and updated my phone to the new firmware.

Here’s how to do it:

First you’ll need the newest version of Pheonix Service software form this link
http://rapidshare.com/files/258159131/Phoenix_2009.20.exe

If you can’t install this version (like I did) you can try an older version and then the new one.
This method worked for me with Vista.

If you got a RM 348 Phone (my N79) you need this file
http://rapidshare.com/files/23297862...0.175_v5.0.exe
and install it.



Make a backup of your data.

- Start Pheonix
- Click on file – manage connections – new – usb
- Apply this change and close

- Click again on file – scan for product – your phone should be mentioned
in the lower box

- Choose Flashing – Firmware update – choose a product code and click
refurbish – wait until the update is done

I don't garanty that you can't harm your phone, it is your phone, yo decide what you want to do.

Have fun!! __________________
