Official NOKIA N8 thread

Okay, so I found a way to manually reflash an N8 using Navifirm and, get this - Nokia Software Updater!!!

This method replaces Nokia's files with your own files (including customised files), downloaded with Navifirm.

1) Install and run latest version of Navifirm
2)Locate files for your phone model, and download all
3)Save downloaded files into a newly created folder.
---- Note: I used NSU version 3 (beta), for downloading updates ----
4) Run NSU. Allow it to start downloading the 'latest' update for your phone.
5) Copy the files you downloaded into "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Nokia\NSU3\NOSSU2\variants\Products\rm-596\"
6) Now, disable your internet connection, leaving the NSU running as normal.
7) NSU will say updates are ready to install bla, bla, bla..
8) Follow the instructions on NSU.
9) You should now be done - with a newly flashed Nokia N8.

I did the above, and have posted exactly what I did.
It worked perfectly for me. I now have PR 1.1
:)

Please, should you follow the above, you will do so at your own risk.
I will not accept any responsibility should something go wrong when you attempt to reflash your phone.

Just did an OTA update via the Software Updater app on my N8 and when the update finished all my numbers are gone... :mad:
 
Does anyone know if you can get any other colours on MTN Anytime than the dark grey one?
 
Okay, now I really love my phone.
My father knocked my phone out my hand with a circular saw (long story)..
Phone fell onto some weird rough bricks-screen down. Guess what? Not a scratch, anywhere.
Was dropped from about 1.4m + velocity (was knocked).

Gorilla glass + Anodized aluminium = awesome.

Have you taken the protective plastic, that comes on the phone's screen when you get it, off?
 
guys i drove over my N8 with my car and it survived and its working perfectly...accidentally,so don't try this at home
 
pics?no ways man,the first thing i did was to check the phone out,not even a scratch on the gorilla glass except a few at the back,maybe its because the soil was soft after it rained,but you can imagine how relieved i was,the front tyre was literally on the phone,the first thing to do was to take the car back,not take pics
