Hi,
How to change product code and do firmware update example N79
Hey guys, I got the N79 with firmware 11.049. Now the new firmware is available and I wanted to install it, but it’s not available for my product code. I don’t want to wait for Nokia. We all know how long nokia takes to release the firmwares.
So I flashed my phone with Pheonix, changed the product code and updated my phone to the new firmware.
Here’s how to do it:
First you’ll need the newest version of Pheonix Service Software form this link:
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
If you can’t install this version (like I did) you can try an older version and then the new one.
This method worked for me with Vista.
If you got a RM 348 Phone (my N79) you need this file
[Only registered and activated users can see links]
and install it.
You can find other firmware versions for other phones with google and on this site

Make a backup of your data.
- Start Pheonix
- Click on file – manage connections – new – usb
- Apply this change and close
- Click again on file – scan for product – your phone should be mentioned
in the lower box
- Choose Flashing – Firmware update – choose a product code and click
refurbish – wait until the update is done
I don't garanty that you can't harm your phone, it is your phone, yo decide what you want to do.
Have fun!!
