BB5 Flash with USB cable

Seen a few guides about this but his has been put together with all the information available and is easy & straight forward to follow and covers all of the steps.


Nokia 6630/6680/N70 Home Flash Process


1. Preparation - Fully uninstall both Nokia PC Suite and the connectivity cable drivers (if installed) and restart your PC.

2. Install Diego - Run 55667793_Diego_3_06.msi and follow the on-screen prompts.

3. Install Phoenix 2004 - Open crack.exe, but don’t click install. Run the phoenix_service_sw_2004_39_7_70.exe. When you get a message stating there is no dongle, you need to click 'retry' and apply the crack immediately. Note: Make sure the crack is installing to the correct System32 dir for your installation of Windows. If it's a clean install or an upgrade the crack is all set to go. If it's an upgrade from Win2K change the dir to C:/WINNT/System32. The time window in which you have to do this is very small, so the crack may give you an error about not being able to create certain files. If this happens, you will get the dongle message back, so you can just keep clicking retry and applying the crack until you have got it right. Note: The second, and subsequent times the crack is run, it is best to click install, and then wait at the prompt where you are asked if you wish to overwrite files. This makes it easier to try and apply the crack at the correct time. Restart your PC. When it reboots, you will get two errors about not being able to register files. You can just ignore these.

4. Install Connectivity drivers h**p://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,81914,00.html Run Nokia_Connectivity_Cable_Driver_6_80_5_1_eng_uk.ms i and just follow the on-screen prompts. Note:. I think it was around this point where I got some warnings about non-MS certified drivers. Naturally, the only button to click is ‘Continue’.

5. Install Phoenix 2005/2006 Update - Open phoenix from the icon on your desktop and minimise it. If you have an N70 or later phone: Run phoenix_service_sw_2006_12_5_136.exe and just follow the on-screen prompts. ** DO NOT restart your pc at the end - select I will restart later ** If you have a 6630/6680 phone: Run phoenix_service_sw_5.exe and just follow the on-screen prompts. ** DO NOT restart your pc at the end - select I will restart later ** Close the phoenix program you minimised. Launch it again from your desktop... check in help/about and you should have the right version. This will appear in the text box, and not the top title. If you will ever need to run this program again, make sure you read the note at the bottom of the page before rebooting your PC.

6. Connect The Phone – Remove memory card from your phone. At this point, the tutorial used to advise removing the SIM card as well. However, it has been pointed out that the phone not being able to switch into online mode may cause the ‘Changing Operation Mode’ error. Therefore, it may be best to try with no SIM inserted, and then try with it inserted if you get the above error. Connect it to the mains adapter, and power up. Connect the USB cable to the PC, and plug the phone into the USB cable. There should be a popup saying found new hardware and the drivers should install automatically. You will also see the 2 errors again, just click ok and ignore them. Phoenix should show your phone's identification and current firmware version in the bar at the bottom of the window. If it doesn't, select File/Scan product.

7. Install Flash File - Install any flash files you've downloaded for your phone. If you have a Nokia package (an exe) this is automated. If you have a repack (probably rar or zip) put the files somewhere easy to find.

8. Flash The Firmware - Select Flashing in Phoenix. This will open a new window to browse for flash files. The Code box at the top should let you select your phones flash files from any you've installed, with language options. For UK N70 phones, choose the top option - 0522157: Euro-1 / Stainless Silver & Black. The Image and PPM lines should then show: Image C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\products\RM-84\RM84_50609201.C0 and PPM file C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\products\RM-84\RM84_50609201.V01.
If you unzipped your files to a different directory use the topmost Browse function to go to them and select the C0 file, the the second Browse function to select the V0 file. Different V0 files indicate different languages. Click Start, your phone will flash. Estimated time for completion is 6 minutes. Do not touch the PC, the USB cable, the power cable or the phone during flashing, as this may cause failure, and lead to a bricked phone.

Errors

1. It seems most people get an error: ‘The chosen product is different from the one scanned from the phone. Do you want to continue flashing?’ after they click start. This appears to simply be a warning that you are upgrading the firmware, so just click continue.

2. If you get the ADL Loader could not be found error try moving all the ADL files from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\Tss\Flash to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Flash, then click Start again. (Not working for me, use the method posted on the forum).

3. If, after starting the flash, you get the error: Changing phones operation mode failed.
Do you want to retry?

HRESULT 0x80042007 (-2147213305)

PNMsgl0: SetCurrentMode, mode setting request
failed;MTCFN=0x80042007
then the only advice so far is to uninstall all of the software from your PC, restart it, and reload the whole lot from scratch.

4. Error ‘HRESULT 0x80043005’ means that you have left your SIM card in the phone.

5. After flashing, there has been some reports that the music player doesn’t like more than 20 or so songs in the playlist.

Note for re-running Phoenix

If you wish to use Phoenix 2006 again, the following method should be used. Close Phoenix. Before you shut down, go to the folder Program files/Nokia/phoenix and copy this entire folder on your desktop.

When you wish to use Phoenix again, boot PC and ignore any error messages. Go to C:/Program files/Nokia/, and delete the folder phoenix. Replace it with the folder that you saved on your desktop. Now Re-run the crack of Phoenix 2004. This can be done without opening the application. Next, run the Phoenix 2006 upgrade, and you should be good to go.

Good luck, and remember that any phone under 12 months old is under warranty, so a trip to the local Nokia repair centre should be a free way of resolving any ‘brick-related’ issues.
