How to Flash Xeon Belle Refresh 111.040.1511 on Nokia N8

YOU CAN ALSO TAKE HELP FROM OUR VIDEO TUTORIAL GUIDE OVER HERE

1. Download & Install Phoenix from here: N8FanClub.com_PSS_2012.04.003.47798.exe
                                                                          N8FanClub.com_PSS_2012.04.003.47798.exe
(Make sure to disable your Anti-virus to avoid Insert Nokia Dongle Error)
Note: This custom firmware package has only English & Italian Languages, if you want to have additional Arabic language in Xeon CFW for Nokia N8, just download the following ROFS2 file and replace it with the ROFS2 firmware file of the above firmware package before proceeding with flashing process. Thanks to Mostafa Abo Elhasan for providing the Arabic ROFS2 for Xeon CFW.

Arabic ROFS2: 
N8FanClub.com_xeon_firmware_arabic_language_RM-596_111.040.1511.rar
N8FanClub.com_xeon_firmware_arabic_language_RM-596_111.040.1511.rar
N8FanClub.com_xeon_firmware_arabic_language_RM-596_111.040.1511.rar

(Note that this firmware is pre-hacked, you are not required to hack / unlock it using Norton Hack)
3. Copy that extracted RM-596 folder in the following folder path:
C:/Program Files/Nokia/Phoenix/Products/RM-596
(If RM-596 folder doesn’t exist, you need to create RM-596 folder yourself and paste the firmware files inside it)
4. Now connect your Nokia N8 in Ovi Suite Mode with USB cable and run Phoenix
5. Goto File and hit Scan Product (wait for some time)
6. Proceed to Flashing and hit Firmware update.
7. Select the firmware product code with three dots (…) (Select: 0599750: euro1_dg_italy) and click OK. (Don’t worry for the product code, it can be any one)

Click to enlarge
8. Now hit the options button, just beneath SW Reset button and a window will appear.
– Delete: RM-596_M005.50.emmc.fpsx as show below
Click to enlarge

9. Now Click either on Refurbish or Software Reset button (For Windows 8 users only Software Reset  button will function) (Refurbish button will just update the firmware and your installed apps on E: will come back gradually, while software reset won’t bring back the apps, you had to re-install all the apps on E:).

Note: The flashing process would start and might ask you to disconnect USB cable and connect it again and slightly push the power button on N8 to initiate flashing Nokia Belle Refresh Custom Firmware. Flashing would hardly take 3 – 5 minutes on an average PC. Enjoy the Nokia Belle Refresh CFW on your Nokia N8 with all new widgets. (The flashing process is similar for every Nokia Belle Device, however you cannot use firmware of one device on any other device)

Languages in this Firmware:
English and Italian, (Arabic also available by ROFS2 replacement as mentioned above)

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I am using another Belle Refresh CFW (111.040.1511), will I have to downgrade first?
A: If you are using another Belle Refresh CFW based on v111.040.1511 (for instance Diamond Belle  Refresh or PVN’s CFW), you won’t be required to downgrade, just flash this firmware. Even if you are using AminKing v11 till now, you can  simply flash it using the flashing method as mentioned above, no downgrade is required.
Q: I  want to return back to Official Nokia Belle Refresh v111.040.1511, what to do?
A: Just download Official Nokia Belle Refresh Firmware v111.040.1511 from NaviFirm and flash it in the same way with Phoenix.
Q: Can I downgrade this firmware? In case I want to return back to Symbian Anna? 
A: Yes you can downgrade using this downgrade tutorial over here.

Q: My Nokia N8 went dead after following this guide, what to do?
A: First of all, don’t worry, try to Flash your Nokia N8 in DEAD USB Mode. It will be fine.
Q: Will updating to this CFW or Downgrading from CFW to PR 1.0 erase my all data from the phone?
A: NO! Your data would remain preserved in E:/ MASS MEMORY, however backup of your important data is always recommended.
Q: My phone doesn’t scan for music / songs after flashing this CFW? 
A: Place all your music files in E:/Music

Q: Where should I place the custom theme effects after flashing this firmware?
A: Extract your custom theme effects in C:/Animations/effects

When i update my nokia store the left over space gets filld up. So admin pls update the firmare removing the stupid trial version of the game (hero of sparta). Or give sme idea of removing the game from the frimware.

    Jd, here is how you can remove hero of sparta demo from C:

    The first important thing is, you must have the open4all patch from RomPatcher+ On to do this! Then open X-plore and go to C:/sys/bin and delete “heroofsparta.exe” next go to C:/sys/install/sysregistry and delete the folder named “2005649d” next go to C:/sys/hash and delete an another “heroofsparta.exe” next go to C:/private and delete the folder named “2005649d” Next go to C:/resource/apps and delete two files: first is named “heroofsparta_icon.mif” and the other “HeroOfSparta.RSC” and then close X-plore and then the last step: To remove the Sparta Game totally with the icon in the Menu you !MUST! download the Hero of Sparta DEMO from Nokia Store (Make sure to install it on E: Mass storage) and after install, remove it and the icon from menu disappears!

    i’m having a couple of issues with this firmware (i installed it two days back..) first of all, with this firmware, free RAM is only around 75-80MB, while I used to get around 100-110MB of free RAM in the official firmware..and then, sending options, to send a file, i get only the options ‘via message’ and ‘via Bluetooth’. there’s no option to send via e-mail… (for that, I have to go to mailbox and create new mail and include the files)and I cannot change themes. when I select another theme, the processing window shows up, and it stays like that. theme would be applied partially, i.e., some display components would be of Nokia Evolve theme style, and some would take the new appearance.also, changing display orientation takes a lot time..is there currently any other firmware available which I can flash? preferences: I need more than six homescreens.. that’s all..
