Install this software in your computer

b)Anna
Extract the folder to C/Program Files (x86)/Nokia/Phoenix/Products/RM-596




c) Belle
Extract this to your computer desktop ( There should be 4 files)


Section C

Step 1 a) Run Phoenix Service Software

Step 2 file>open product>RM-596  Nokia RM 596 and press OK. (Make sure your phone is connected to your PC )

Step 3 On the top left corner of Phoenix, you will see "Connections:" followed by a drop down menu bar. Click the drop down menu and make sure "NO CONNECTION" is selected.



Step 4 Go to Flashing>Firmware Update. Under Product code, click the box on the right side and select one of the variants and press OK.



* If nothing appear try turning off your phone and try again

Step 5
Check "Dead phone USB flashing"

Step 6
Click Options > edit and select your desktop files (aka belle files) as below

RM-596_022.014_79.92_prd.core.fpsx  --> RM-596_111.010.0606_79u_prd.core.fpsx

RM-596_022.014_28.01_Chinese_PRC_79.92_prd.rofs2.fpsx --> RM-596_111.010.0606_13.01_MEA_A_79u_prd.rofs2.fpsx

RM-596_022.014_C01.01_PRC_79.92_prd.rofs3.fpsx --> RM-596_111.010.0606_C04.01_MEA_1_79u_prd.rofs3.fpsx

RM-596_022.014_U02.01_79.92.uda.fpsx --> RM-596_111.010.0606_U07.01_79u.uda.fpsx

Step 7
IMPORTANT
Make sure RM596_APE_ONLY_ENO_11w15_v0.148.fpsx and RM-596_M025.44.emmc.fpsx are DELETED.
Before you flash it should look like this



Step 8
Click OK and select refurbish

Step 9
Follow the instructions when you're prompted to from Phoenix.
Note: If they ask you to hold the power button for 8 seconds, hold it for a little longer (probably for an extra second), till your phone vibrates for a few times.

Step 10
I do not recommend you to restore your apps/games. Reinstall them manually.

Step 11
Reformat your memory card and hard reset your phone again using *#7370#

Step 12
Restore your data and welcome to Symbian BELLE

@ aspire2oo6
For those who already have the  leaked Anna installed do they have to install it once again  then to install belle? for example my self i already have the leaked Anna on my N8 so shall i install again Anna?
I think i am not the only one who is asking here , looks no one has the right answer because you didn't answer them  let us know???
