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)

    Hi there,

    I have purchased Nokia N8 with one year warranty in a throw away price. It is totally anew sealed pack unit. I want to update it to the latest Symbian Belle Refresh. I dont know how to use phonix to install CFW. Is it possible to update original Nokia update to N8? Please Help me. I don’t want to brick this piece of beauty by any mistake.

        thanks a lot. I did and it is cool. Tutorial is very very easy to follow. I have tried both Xenon CFW and Delight Refresh CFW. Xenon is more responsive than Delight. Delight has more cool crazy animation but slower than xenon.

    Hi Admin! Oh my God…the last comment was launched more than a year ago and me as an analog guy in a digital world wants to ask a question related to Xeon refresh.
    Since the Nokia servers were been shuted down and on Nokia Suite there is no posibility to refresh my N8 to the original N8 firmware could you tell me please from where can I get it and how can I install to my N8 without Nokia Suite?
    I hate Android, they want to know too much about me so I’ve started again my old school N8 and I want to change the op.sys.to Xeon. I would like to be prepared if I don’t like it to have the posibility to turn back to the orginal firmware.
    Thanks in advance!
