Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

Hello, My mobile is not switching on after installation of a software which was not compatible with Nokia Belle. I installed the same software on Nokia Anna. It was working flawlessly, though it gave me an incompatibility warning message while installation. Could anyone suggest me how to reinstall Nokia Belle or switch on the device without reinstallation. It does switches on for some seconds and tries to load i.e. not completely - not even till hand shaking screen. And then switches off.

Re: Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

Hey osama_xlt,

 

Welcome to Nokia Discussions forum! Sorry to hear about the issue, try the following steps and test if it starts in between them.

 

Press the power button until the phone vibrates 3 times. This is equal to taking the battery out.

 

if that doesn't help, try to charge the battery full and try then.

 

Connect the phone to PC with USB and open Nokia Suite. Try to power the phone on. If the phone turns on, you can try to reinstall Belle. The process is the same as when updating with Nokia Suite, but at the end select "Reinstall". First, however, take a backup if you don't have one.

 

If the phone does not react to there actions, please take it to the Nokia Care point.

 

Hope you get the phone working again!

Re: Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

Has your product code changed when the tech put the Indian version on?
Have you tried reinstalling the firmware using Nokia suite, I think it will detect where the phone was from and put the correct version on.
N95 (RM159) V31.0.017, N8 (RM596) Belle 111.040.1511

What particular application did you install that is causing this issue?

To re-install the Firmware you will need to connect the phone to a PC and launch Nokia Suite on the PC. Then go to Software update and select Reinstall firmware.

Re: Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

 

The product code is linked to the region the phone was sold to, so if the product code was unchanged so is the firmware version. What might have happened is that the Nokia Care point has installed the language pack for India giving you local languages. This would be corrected by re-installing the firmware through Nokia Suite which will get you the original language files (based on your product code).

 

Here is the procedure to do a safe reset;

 

Follow the procedure below to do a full device reset and (re)install of the system firmware:

 

  • If you have data on the N8-00 you wish to keep create a backup using Nokia Suite but when asked deselect the option to include settings in the backup. You can start a backup through Tools>Backup in the Nokia Suite menu.
  • Now disconnect your N8-00 from the PC and select the offline profile, press the on/off switch and from the menu which appears select and activate the profile offline.
  • Enter the code *#7370# followed by the security code 12345. Please be aware this reset may take a while. Your N8-00 will restart when finished.
  • After the N8-00 restarts go through the Device First Use sequence to setup the N8-00 correctly.
  • Now connect the N8-00 to your PC again and let Nokia Suite install the requires files on N8-00. After this (re)install the latest system update. When you go to the update screen in Nokia Suite your will either be presented by a system update or you can choose to re-install the current (up to date) version again.
  • After the update verify if there are any additional updates and install these as well.
  • After this you can restore the backup if you made one.

You might also return to the Nokia Care Point you went to and ask them to rewrite the original firmware for your product code. Make sure you have a backup though as this will completely erase all personal data.

 

Hope this helps, let us know how you get on.

Re: Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

Hi Kosh ,

 

I am uploading a screen shot of the nokia suite software update page. Here i have connected my other x6 mobile too which s showing the option for reinstalling software but for my n8 it does not show the reinstall option.

 

Does that mean nokia does not give an option to reinstall software on n8? Its ridiculous

If Belle Refresh v111.040.1511 appeared as FOTA update only days ago, it can take longer for the 300MB complete software file to reach servers for use by Nokia Suite.

Re: Reinstallation of Nokia N8 Symbian Belle

Hi Jaynick,

 

No it is not possibly to downgrade from a firmware version to a lower firmware version, only upgrade. If you are still encountering problems months later as you appear to be, I suggest taking your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to investigate.
