Tutorial For Flashing A CFW
Hi! Many newbees are now using CFWs and such stuff. About 600 people are registering in this forum/day! Since many people are interested in flashing with CFW available here (DailyMobile CFWs are the best CFWs worlwide), I thought a flashing tutorial is necessary for such noobs. Just follow the steps exactly to get a CFW running on your phone
Manual Method:
Visit this thread for Manual method for flashing through JAF.
NEEDED SOFTWARES:
1. Download Navifirm: HERE
2. Download J.A.F: HERE
3. Download PKEY: HERE
Use JAF Emulator/PKEY in compatibility mode to avoid any missing JAF error in Windows 7.
For those who do not know Navifirm and J.A.F, Here are the guides: Navifirm Guide & J.A.F Guide
VIDEO TUTORIALS FOR DOWNLOADING AND FLASHING FIRMWARE FILES
STEPS:
1. Download your f/w files from Navifirm
2. Place all files in C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\
(RM-XXX means your RM. It may be RM-356, RM-428 etc. If your RM is RM-356; Then make the folder as 'RM-356')
3. Download and Install PKEY Emulator and J.A.F
4. Download the CFW
5. A CFW usually contain 3 or 2 files (Rofs2 + Rofs3 + UDA)
6. If the filenames do not match then rename the names of the CFW files to your original f/w files
7. backup your firmware files
8. Then replace your original files with the CFW files in "C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\"
9. Run PKEY Emulator
10. Click OK on the dialog that appears, then When J.A.F will start
11. Go to 'bb5'tab
12. Make it look exactly like the picture below
(Tick - Manual Flash, Dead USB, Normal mode) (Untick - 'CRT 308')
13. Make sure the scene is exactly the same (Check nicely)
14. Tick 'USE INI'
15. Then a list will appear containing all phone models like the picture below
16. Select your phone and appropriate RM from the list
17. Turn OFF your phone and connect it to the computer via USB
18. Click on flash
19. Then Click OK when a dialog appears like on the picture below
20. Then press "Power Button" for 1 second and release
21. Flashing Procedure will start...
OR
If your phone is not listed in the List of Phone Models shown by J.A.F then do this step to select firmware files:
Instead of Step2 you can do this:
just rename .core.C00 to .c0r first and then untick "use ini" option and then manually select the files
1. MCU = .c00/.c0r
2. PPM = rofs2
3. CNT = rof3
4. APE = uda
IF YOUR PHONE GETS BRICKED ANYWAY, THEN FLASH YOUR PHONE AGAIN WITH ALL YOUR ORIGINAL FIRMWARE FILES
