How to install Nokia Phoenix 2006

Please read this entirely first so you see the whole process before starting!

- Why another description?
Well, there seem to be quite some confusion about this.. Also, the patch/crack files provided has not been successful in placing the files in the right places, and since people doesn't read dialog boxes, the cracks won't work.

I've repacked the crack files in self-extracting rar-files that uses Windows environment variables to point to the correct directories, even if you happen to have your Windows system located on a non-default drive. The run-time crack also use the correct application base path, like C:\Programs\, C:\Program Files\ etc.

I've also tried to be a bit more detailed in the text, so DO READ carefully! Otherwise you're on your own.

What you need:

• A Windows 2000/XP installation which is totally clean from any other Nokia product. That's no cable drivers, no applications, no nothing. Not even any entries in your registry. (Nokia made a registry cleaning tool, find it here. I don't know how effective it is, I clean manually by searching the registry and deleting all keys related to Nokia.)
• Nokia Diego v3.07 SP2 (Nokia Diego 3.07 Sp2.msi)
• Nokia Phoenix 2006 (phoenix_service_sw_2006_34_2_156.exe)
• Installation time dongle crack (Nokia_Phoenix_Iinstallation_time_dongle_crack.exe)
• Runtime dongle crack (Nokia Phoenix 2006 - Run-time dongle-crack.exe)

You can also download the entire package (including this how-to) from this link.

You will also need:

• To understand written English
• To read these instructions carefully, and not rush ahead!

Now, with that said, let's do this step by step...

1. Uninstall everything related to Nokia from your computer.
2. Clean out all Nokia related entries in your registry.
3. Reboot your computer, do not run anything, you would like to have a clean environmant.
4. Unpack the zip files you downloaded above. Do not unpack the executable rar files!
5. Install Nokia Diego, that's done by double-clicking the file Nokia Diego 3.07 Sp2.msi. There's nothing special about this installation, just run the msi file and answer the dialog boxes. Do not change any paths or anything else, just make a default installation. Do NOT run the application after installation! It will complain about not finding any dongle, we'll fix that later... In fact, you will most likely never, ever start Diego by itself anyway..
   Now on with the tricky part....
6. We will now install Phoenix, and this takes some tricks and you need to be a bit careful about what you're doing, otherwise you won't succeed.
   1. Start the Phoenix installation by double-clicking the phoenix_service_sw_2006_34_2_156.exe file.
   2. After a moment, you should be greeted by this screen:
      
      Just click the "Next" button to go on.
   3. The application will now start installing...
   4. After a while you will get an error dialog box telling you that installation cannot continue without a dongle. Of course you don't have one since you're reading this..
      Do not click any of the buttons in that dialog yet!
   5. Now, start the installation-time dongle crack by double-clicking the file Nokia Phoenix - Iinstallation-time dongle crack.exe.
      Just start it, do not click that "Install" button yet! Your screen should now look like this:
      
      Here comes the part that needs some special attention. To explain it; the crack consists of a couple off dll files that makes Phoenix believe that there is a dongle attached.
      The installer has the original files locked at this point, so they cannot be replaced. This is what makes this step a little tricky.
      When the "Try again" button in the installer is clicked, the files are released, and can be replaced before the dongle test is made again.
      Here's how it must be done:
      1. Check the crack installer window so that the "Destination folder" really points to your Windows' System32 directory. If it doesn't, edit the line in the window. (If you don't know what and where that is, you should definately not even try to install this piece of software since you won't have the competence to use it anyway.)
      2. Arrange the Phoenix installer window and the crack installer window so you can have very quick access to both of them.
      3. Click the Phoenix installer's "Try again" button.
      4. Within 1-2 seconds, click the crack installer's "Install" button. The installation should continue, like this;
         
      5. Sit back and laugh at Nokia's installation protection.
      6. If the installation did not continue, and you get the "Dongle not found" dialog box popping up again, then you were not quick enough in step 6.e.iii and iv, or you didn't get the "Destination folder" right.. So, you will have to go back to step 6.e.
   6. At some point, the installer component root.exe would like to use your network connection. I haven't seen any problems with that, and frankly I don't know what it really wants to check. Anyway, if you have your Windows Firewall active, this will pop up (but in your language);
      
      I just allowed it, I haven't even tried denying it to see if it makes any difference.
   7. When the installation finish the first step, you'll be asked if you want to reboot now or later;
      
   8. You must reboot at this point, do not wait, and do absolutely not try to start any of the Nokia applications!
      The installation continues after reboot.
7. After the reboot, all the Phoenix DLL files will be registered with your system before your normal desktop comes up, it take a little while.
8. During the DLL registration, the installer will complain twice that it can't find the DESkey (that's the dongle code), looks like this;
   
   Just click "OK" in these two boxes, and everything will be fine..
9. When this is ready, your normal desktop should show up. Do not try to start Phoenix yet!
10. Now it's time to install the Phoenix run-time crack, this must be done to be able to start the application. Double-click the Nokia Phoenix 2006 - Run-time dongle-crack.exe file. It should look like this;
    
    Check that the "Destination folder" is pointing to the correct location, if not, correct the path. Then press the "Install" button.
11. Installation done!
12. Double-click the Phoenix icon on your desktop to start the application.
13. You should now be presented with a login box, like this;
    
    Press "Maintain" to add a user.
14. In the new box popping up, enter a user name, any name, and initials. In this example, I entered "Steve" with the initials "SN";
    
    Click "OK".
15. You're done. Enjoy...

There are several guides on how to use Phoenix posted in these forums, just use the search function. This was an installation guide.
But to draw the easy, and general picture on how to do it:

1. Install the needed firmware into Phoenix.
2. See to that your phone is FULLY CHARGED
3. Remove SIM card and any memory card.
4. Start Phoenix and connect your phone
5. Click the "Flashing" menu and then "Firmware Update"
