    There are many files in the link, which one should I download? By the way, if I flash my phone will the data erase too? And can I flash through the charger to usb cable? Thanks.

    Pretty sure that you only need the first four but I would create a RM-596 folder and download them all in view of their small size:

    RM-596_111.040.1511_79u_prd.core.fpsx

    RM-596_111.040.1511_13.01_MEA_A_79u_prd.rofs2.fpsx

    RM-596_111.040.1511_C04.01_MEA_1_79u_prd.rofs3.fpsx

    RM-596_111.040.1511_U07.01_79u.uda.fpsx

    Unfortunately all data would be lost and yes, USB to microUSB cable will suffice. Personally I would use Windows 7 or 8.1 to flash devices of this era. Phoenix Service Suite is very fussy as to where it looks for newly created RM-596 folder.

    Unfortunately you are probably about 5 years too late for automated process and any update would need to be installed manually, provided you can source appropriate firmware for your product code although some compromise may be needed.

    Can you input *#0000# upon dialler and post the seven character alphanumeric product code?

    My Nokia-N8's product code is 0599390

    Your N8 = mea2_dg (Middle East/Asia 2 - Dark Grey and you are in luck as here:

    This link will expire so need to enter your product code again.

    For help with flashing look at this resource:http://www.ovi.h1n.ru/delight/phoenix.php

    You Can try to reflash your N8 via phoenix. It is very simple and works fine. I reflashed my Nokia 603 from Symbian Belle to Nokia Belle Feature Pack 2 and now it had already worked excellent.
