There are three ways, if you want flash any BB5 phone by USB




1. Flash by installing original Phoenix package
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You need install original phoenix installer. Phoenix original installers are located at Support area\Nokia\Phoenix\BB5 folder.
Install the downloaded package. Flash files will be located at \Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\ folder.
After installing you need check Phoenix checkbox under the BB5 USB flashing tab, select the correct product and product code.
So for example if we will flash an RM-495 product then you should select RM-495 as product, select any product code. In my case product code is 0571588.
If your phone is working well, then power it on, install all drivers, and close Nokia PC Suite.
If your phone could not power on then check Dead USB.
Press flash button.



2. Flash with flash files downloaded from UB support
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Product code is in my case 0571588. Select all files where you can see this product code. In this case you should select

  • rm495__06.65.mcusw - this is the mcu, main flash file
  • rm495__06.65.ppm_ee - this is the ppm, language flash file
  • RM495_0571588_06.65_006.dcp - this is the data package file
  • rm495__06.65.image_ee_blu - this is the contents flash file
  • RM495_0571588_06.65_006_signature.bin - this is the signature file
  • RM495_0571588_06.65_006.vpl - this is the vpl file, where the needed files are listed

Download the selected files, and after successfully download go back to USB flashing tab.
In this case don't check the phoenix checkbox, select RM-495 as product, select any product code.
If your phone is working well, then power it on, install all drivers, and close Nokia PC Suite.
If your phone could not power on then check Dead USB.
Press flash button.



3. Flash with the original product code
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under BB5/Maintenance tab you can download the latest available flash files for any productcode with Phoenix file update. Downloaded flash files will be located at \Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\ folder.
After downloading go back to BB5 USB Flashing tab, check Phoenix checkbox, select the correct product and product code.
So for example if we will flash an RM-495 product then you should select RM-495 as product, select any product code. In my case product code is 0571588.
If your phone is working well, then power it on, install all drivers, and close Nokia PC Suite.
If your phone could not power on then check Dead USB.
Press flash button.
