Delight Belle Refresh Flashing Tutorial Guide for 
Nokia N8

Delight Belle Refresh v111.040.1511 Custom firmware for Nokia N8 has just arrived. Earlier we had tried XEON Belle Refresh CFW on our Nokia N8 upon user recommendations and it is still awesome. Only limitation in Xeon CFW was unavailability of multiple languages. For the sake of change  you guys can try out Delight Belle Refresh custom firmware on Nokia N8 which has latest updated widgets and supports multiple languages.

You have the flexibility to download your desired language set (ROFS2) before flashing and replace it with the one present inside the default CFW package. Detailed change-logs are available below. Before you start following this tutorial, we recommend you to have a look at Cfficial Nokia Belle Refresh Change-logs.

THIS CUSTOM FIRMWARE IS ONLY FOR NOKIA N8 , DO NOT TRY IT ON ANY OTHER DEVICE OR YOU’LL BRICK IT UP. PLEASE DO NOT ASK WHETHER THIS CUSTOM FIRMWARE WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR ANY OTHER DEVICE, OTHER THAN NOKIA N8.

How to Flash Delight 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: PSS 2012.50.000.49146_latest.exe
(Make sure to disable your Anti-virus to avoid Insert Nokia Dongle Error)

2. Download and extract the files in RM-596 folder.

 

(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: 0599842: euro2_gr_germany) 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)

After flashing process, turn on your Nokia N8 set the region / date / time and allow the device to work on phases, it will take couple of mintues and will reboot automatically for once. Now you can start using your device with new custom firmware.

Languages in this Firmware:

Almost all languages are there, you have to select the ROFS2 firmware file of your desired language and replace it with the ROFS2 file in the custom firmware package.

  • Instructions:

1. Just get the download from first post by huellif
2. get the translated files from me in your language
3. exchange the rofs2 you got from me with the one in the full cfw set

  • Translation features:

– ALL needed standard files in your language (if provided by Nokia)
– ALL needed modded files that need translating to work
– IF TTS (text to speech) is available in your language, then it is included
– ALL translations have english as base files
– all writing and keyboard files
– all dialer files
– added ecom-3-0.spi which can handle ALL languages
– translated all new widgets and corrected old ones (I corrected over 500 strings)
– text clock widgets in your language; translations by wirer
for now only 02, 03, 04, 17, 18, 25, 26, 27, 42, 54, 68, 76, 79 … maybe more later

  • Known “Issues”:

– Third party Applications, for example: ROM patcher+, are not translated
– in more than 1 language packages there will be only english text clock
– metadatamod equalizer mod in english
– rarely used languages, such as galician, basque, canadian french, chinglish & taiwan english are not made

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 Xeon Belle  Refresh or PVN’s CFW), you won’t be required to downgrade, just flash this firmware.

Q: I  want to return back to Official Nokia Belle Refresh v111.040.1511, what to do?

      1. j.birkenstock

        Thanks for the fast response, but when I open the ROM Patcher I can only find the Patch HighLevelVolumeFix, which seems to fit, but when I apply it nothing really changes…
        Do I have to add these patches or download them somewhere?

    It would be very nice to maybe revise it slightly. Installation of “situations“ app. have it’s Bluetooth module not accessible even with the newly ver 2. I “re-flashed“ but this time with xenon CFW and “situations“ app is working full capacity on it. Besides that delight is very fast and well organise and the post flashing progress notifications before ready to use is exceptional.

    hi! i have a problem about my new delight cfw in my n8 after connecting to my pc to save music all the files inside the mass storage became .lnk file..how do i fix this??thank you..

    ↓
    1. Prakash

      .lnk is created by a virus in your pc. It attacks mass storage devices’ folders and makes them system folder, and enables read only & hidden attributes. It then creates same name .lnk (shortcuts) which will intern keep the virus alive in your pc if you double click it. Al your files and folders are intact. You can view them by enabling show hidden files and folders & show system files options from folder options.
