- Download the following files:
- Uninstall any current Nokia software from your PC (e.g. PC Suite)
- Extract The Diego ZIP file, and install Diego.
- After installing Diego, run the crack file that you extracted from the ZIP.
- Run the Phoenix 2006 install.
- At the point where it complains about the dongle/DES key, run the 2004 Dongle Fix, click “Extract” and when it asks about over-writing, quickly switch to the Phoenix setup and click Retry, then hit “Yes To All” in the 2004 Dongle fix. If you do it successfully, setup will continue.
- Reboot when asked to.
- Ignore any error messages you may get after reboot (press OK/Continue).
- Run the 2006 Fix (Extract and overwrite any files it asks about).
- Run and complete the installation for the firmware.
- Start the Phoenix program.
- You may need to set up a new profile, call this whatever you want.
- From the File menu, click “Manage Connections”.
- Click Add
- Select USB and OK all the dialog boxes.
- Make sure your phone is on and fully charged. Most people have to leave the SIM card in for flashing to work.
- Connect your N80 up using the USB cable, then select “Scan Product” from the File menu.
- You should see your phone’s details in the bottom of the window (including current software version).
- If this information is correct, select “SW Update” from the Flashing menu.
- Phoenix will scan the phone, this might take a minute. Once done you can either select the flash files manually (the .fspx file as the Image File and a .v## for the PPM file) or you can use the Code drop-down at the top and select your phone type. I chose Euro 2 Smooth Stainless Steel for my UK Orange phone. This will select an appropraite fspx, v## and also an APE file (this file adds extra programs to the phone such as Settings Wizard, Anti-Virus (Trial), PDF reader and Wireless Keyboard). Remove this file if you don’t want these extra applications. Below are the settings I used:

- Once ready, click “Start”. Again I got a warning about the prommer version, I clicked OK and it carried on as normal.
- After approx 5 minutes the flashing will complete.
*NB: You’re obviously doing this at your own risk! This is the method I’ve used and I’ve flashed my phone 4 times now without a problem. If you’re unsure, take it to your nearest Nokia Service Centre.
I’ve managed to get hold of the latest v4.0623.0.41 firmware - will post links to the files and a guide soon!
