Updating Firmware via Phoenix

STEPS:






* Make proper backup first *

* Kung galing abroad ang C3 nyo, may chance na magiba ang Keypad symbols nyo, better check your Country variant first before doing this *







1. Download your FIRMWARE HERE!





2. Extract/Unzip it and put the RM-614 folder (containing the flash files) on this path C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\ (syempre delete nyo na yung luma)






3. Its okay if you have Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Ovi Suite, Nokia Software Updater, Nokia Modem Drivers, Nokia Connectivity Drivers and all other Nokia stuff installed from your system. (sakin naman working fine kahit meron nyan). Just turn off your Automatic Updates on your PC's Control panel.





4. Download Phoenix Software and Install it. (Dont run it yet)





5. Connect C3 to PC via micro-usb cable. Windows will start installing the connectivity drivers as soon as you connect the phone. Let it install completely.

"USB mode" prompt will appear, select "Nokia Ovi Suite" .






6. Now Open/run Phoenix, make sure it will read your phone's USB connection and select "USB# - RM-614" so it will look like this:





7. Click File > Scan Product



then it will look like this...








8. Click Flashing > Firmware Update



then it will look like this...







9. At image above click the three dots enclosed with icon box (the one colored Light Blue) , then a pop up will appear....




like the above image unCheck "Detect Product Automatically" and click OK. then it will look like this...





10. Finally click Refurbish If errors occurs like: "failed to set phone to flash mode" , hung up in "Initializing", "Product flashing aborted" or unexpected exit of Phoenix, just exit Phoenix, and remove the battery and usb connector. Reinsert the battery and open your phone. Then go back and start at STEP 5 again.




11. Phone will turn off. Then a countdown will start from 25, 24 . . .



12. If you see a prompt like this just click OK.



13. Firmware updating succeeded. And yes your phone will remain OFF , and if you turn it on, it says: "test mode" dont panic its normal just remove the battery and usb connector. Reinsert the battery and open your phone.








14. Check your phone's Firmware by typing *#0000# . . .







15. Done. Enjoy your freshly cooked C3 v.8.63 Firmware. Reset to refresh the system by typing *#7370# (enter 12345). You may now restore backup.
