How to Manually Update Your Nokia Phone to Symbian Anna or Latest Firmware

http://nokb.ly/162 A lot of you are still waiting for Nokia to release the Symbian Anna update in your country. If you are impatient, there's a way to do it manually. Here's a video how to do it, as shown on a Nokia N8.

WARNING!!! This voids your warranty and could possibly break your phone. I suggest waiting for the official update if you don't want the risk of breaking your phone!

You'll need two applications: NaviFirm+ and Phoenix Service Software 2011.

NaviFirm can download all the official Nokia firmware files necessary from Nokia's servers. You can grab the latest version from Symbian-Toys.

Phoenix Service Software installs the files you downloaded from NaviFirm to your phone. I found the latest version in GSM-Forum. Just search for "Phoenix Service Software" and download it from the most recent post. The version I have in this video is Phoenix Service Software 2011.24.002.46258.

The latest firmware (as of September 11th, 2011) showed version 24.1, but the firmware looked like it's meant only for Middle East and Africa. I knew for a fact that version 22.1 was Symbian Anna, so that's the firmware I selected for the Nokia N8 in this video.

Let us know in the comments if any of the steps in the video are unclear. Good luck and enjoy Anna!

I'm having problems just finding the Anna update in the UK, but i can't seem to find out when it'll be released over here! i noticed the "Irish" update on your video, will that be the same as the UK update?

[thenokiablog]

@Daveslazz i think so. Sorry not 100% sure

[gavrilaeugen]

it's more easy whit ovi suite

[thenokiablog]

@gavrilaeugen you're right. this method is for those who can't get the update from ovi suite

Thank you sooo much!! :D I was able to flash unlocked C7 Belle onto my Nokia C7 Astound with this video :DDD

I'm from Malaysia, so do i have to choose euro variants too?

[69feelthepain]

@acbuono hey how did u flash your astound? i have an astound from TMO too and i was pissed when i found out that we wouldnt get the update. could u send me the links u used to flash it please Thanks! how is belle performing on the astound btw?

[acbuono]

Thanks for the excellent directions! Had to flash my Astound because TMO USA isn't releasing the belle update for us.

I'm going to use this method for Belle update. I'm in Canada and Belle will not be available in Canada at all. I have a question though, how do you tell if it's a generic US belle variant? In navifirm there's some that say just "nam_white (0599222)" or there's another one that says "N8-00 RM-596 CV North America US Silver White Belle V4 COLOR (059D0V2). I have a Canadian branded silver N8 so I'm not sure which variant to try (if it even matters). If you have any idea any help is appreciated!

@destinyruler99 I mean, I am sure there is a certain way to upgrade your firmware, if your hardware supports it well.

[withche07]

@destinyruler99 hey, I wanna upgrade my N95 8 GB to new firmware, also I wanna say I installed different firmware to my N95 before. (I can't remember how I really did it, I tried to change some codes with another application but I installed Ovi Maps 3.0 pre-installed Symbian OS 1 time before.)

[takeshi8642]

[destinyruler99]
