Now you can upgrade you Nokia E7, N8, C6-01 or C7 running Symbian ^3 operating system to the much better Symbian Anna without losing your personal files and customizations. Updating your Symbian ^3 firmware to Symbian Anna enhances your experience with your mobile with a much improved user interface. Now you can get a virtual keyboard in portrait mode, enhanced Nokia maps, better web browsing and web security among other improvements.
Symbian Anna key features include:
* User interface: Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01 and Nokia E7 can now sport a fresh, new look with crisp icons and multiple usability enhancements. Typing on the touchscreen is much more easier with a split screen which makes it possible to see message threads, webpages, contacts or email view while typing on the virtual QWERTY keypad – now also available in portrait mode.
* Maps and navigation: Symbian Anna comes with an enhanced Nokia Maps with better search functionality, new public transportation routes and the ability to check-in to favorite geo-social network sites like Facebook, Foursquare and Twitter and so on.
* Browsing: A faster, easier-to-use web browser, delivering quicker page loads and improved device navigation allowing people to connect more easily to their favorite sites on the go.
* Better for business: Symbian Anna brings true business-grade security with improved data encryption on Nokia smartphones. Business users with a Nokia N8, Nokia C7, Nokia C6-01 or Nokia E7 can now easily and securely access their company intranet with IPSEC and SSL VPN enablers.
* Near Field Communications (NFC): The Symbian Anna software update also activates the NFC hardware in the Nokia C7, so people can now simply tap their Nokia C7s together to share contacts, photos, videos and play games; easily pair with NFC-enabled accessories from Nokia and others; and read NFC tags to check-in and more
How To Upgrade From Symbian ^3 To Symbian Anna
If you’ve read my previous posts on how to flash your a dead nokia phone through USB cable and how to hack symbian phones by flashing with a hacked UDA, this will look very easy.
You need to download these softwares to proceed:
i. Navifirm
ii. Phoenix 2011
Before proceeding, please note:
- Phone battery should be charged
- It is recommended to close all applications on your computer
- You may lose phone warranty by flashing the phone
1. In standby mode, type *#0000# on your phone and note the phone type, eg. RM-XXX
2. Remove your phone battery and note the numbers labeled Code
3. Be sure you’re connected to the internet and run Navifirm
4. Under Products, select your phone model. This lists all available firmwares. Click on the latest firware on the list which is should be Symbian Anna.
5. Save the firmware files to your computer. Create a new folder in C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\RM-XXX
Note that RM-XXX should be replaced by what you saw earlier in Step 1
6. Turn on your mobile phone and connect it through USB in PC Suite/OVI mode.
7. Run Phoenix software as Administrator
8. Select the USB port on which the phone is connected
9. Click on File and select Scan Product to read phone information
10. Your mobile phone information should be shown as shown below provided there’s a working connection between your computer and mobile phone.
11. Click on Flashing and select Firmware Update as shown in the screenshot below
12. If you copied your firmwares to the folder cretaed in step 5, your firware files will be automatically selected.
13. Click on Update Software to start the flashing procedure. (You can click on Refurbish button only if you wish to have all user data and applications erased and phone will be reseted to factory settings.) Do not disconnect the mobile phone till the process is fully complete. The operation usually takes 2-3 minutes, when finished, a window will appear: “Firmware updating succeded.”.
14. Click OK and remove disconnect your phone from the computer. Turn on the phone and press *#0000# to check out the new firmware.
Updating your Symbian ^3 to Symbian Anna is quite an easy process but there’s still that slight possibility of killing your phone through flashing though I’ve done it a dozen times successfully. Note that you’re doing this at your own risk, not mine.

i'm fully loaded here! let me go and hack that my nokia N8 jaweeeeeeeee!

i cnt do it because for my N8,i cant remove my fone's battery…pls help me…
you can also press *#0000# to get the product code
There's no matching product code for my blue E7, will any of these work, or do I need to wait for one to match? My code is 059F6L8, closest I can imagine is the blue UK, 059H471. Any ideas?
*product code in Navifirm under variants, that is. Thanks!
You can use a different product code. But be careful about the one you select cuz i think it affects the language pack installed
is it really an update? I mean wont it b risk to update by myself?
CAN I SELECT RM-594 INSTEAD OF RM-588 ?????
actualy it is RM-588
No you can't. it might kill our phone
If i flash this into my nokia n8 will i be able to sync my phone to my computer using ovi suite, photos, apps and all with no problems?
Yeah, so far the flashing process got completed.
can I use win xp to do this?
Sure, you can do it on Windows XP.
For advance symbian phone nd p.c users only…

When I installed Nokia Suite, it does not recognize the phone as Nokia X7. According to these info, can I still flash the phone?
I really don’t know but have you tried connecting it with ovi suite too? Isn’t the phone a counterfeit?
I tried with Ovi suite and it still does not recognize the phone (USB and bluetooth). Here is the link of the phone where I bought it from: http://www.everbuying.com/product61108.html
Based on what I saw on that page, I can tell it’s not a real Nokia product, it’s counterfeit. Press *#7370# and if it doesn’t display a hard reset dialogue, it’s confirmed as a fake Nokia phone and won’t connect with Nokia PC suite or Ovi suite no matter what.
*#7370# does not display anything. But *#0000# displays the info I first posted.
DON CAP help,,my mobile phone information is showing ,,wen i get to the next step “firmware update” product code cnt load,i thn clicked on three dots thn i get “neither DP1 nor DP2.0 was not found for the product or product cnt b identified” help plz abeg.
You probably didn’t name the folder correctly as specified in the post. Go over the steps carefully.
I have a Nokia E7, I bought it from The Affordable at Computer Village since one June last year. I got connected to ovi site to update to Symbian Belle, I followed all the steps correctly since this is not my first time, the software didn’t finish the download before my internet disconnected and it started installing which I thought was a process and the phone went off and didn’t turn on again.. My phone battery was full before the update, and now my phone is dead with black screen(nokia) and wont reboot again, I removed the battery, still the same, tried all recommended 4 button reset, still nothing even though I was hearing the 1 time vibration and 3 time vibration The phone is still dead since yesterday.. Could someone please help me out!!!
I think you need to flash the phone using “dead usb flashing” – Try reading the last part of that post.
Alright, I will do that, downloading it right now though…
