My GF in a fit of jealousy bought a Nokia N8 from an auction site but the software on seems to me to be from a N97. There seems to be a host of issues with it. We cant get it connected to OVI store or wifi or anything to get it working. We looked at trying a restore to factory setting but the Pin is not 12345 or anything so we cant do that. The software is  V10 or something.

Im assuming some bright spark has atempted to flash it or something.

Any ideas what i can do with this. Ive never flashed a phone like this before but im guessing thats what it needs.

Any comments or help greatly greatly appreciated.

hello,

 i think first you should tell us what is the phone saying once interogated about the IMEI.
just press in dial mode the following sequence : *#0000#
phone returns a lot of informations to you like
RELEASE
SOFTWARE VERSION
PRODUCT CODE
MODEL
TYPE

once you get these you can check following thread here :
http://www.nokian8forum.com/nokia-n8-hacks-and-tricks/install-cracked-apps-on-n8/, read it all and make sure you understand the tutorial.

have a good day,

It has the following on the screen

software version
v10.0.012
software version date
01 09 2010
custom version
10.0.012.c01.01
custom version date
01 09 2010

language set 15

model N8

type
Rm -505

latest update
not update

thats it typed word for word.

I cant even use phonex to flast it because the phone wont go into USB mode to allow for some sort of connection to pc.

it does go into mass storage mode but thats about it

Can a phone be flashed even if it wont go to USB mode?

Any help greatly appreciated

Steven,

can't be..  RM 505 code is for European version of N97 - packed in N8 looking case... that does not sound right.

here are two genuine pictures of what u should see once you dial the *#0000#, i think that yours is quite different... is that ?

Yeah i have an N8 myself so i know what should be coming up. Ive no idea how someone has got n97 firmware into this phone but they have and now i cant get the phone to reset or to connect to pc by usb so i can flash it.

Steven,

I don't think is a Nokia N8, should not work an n97 firmware on the n8.
I'm afraid that should be chinese replica, take a look here and compare with yours.http://www.dhgate.com/sciphone-n8-single-card-3-2-inch-hd-screen/p-ff8080812cf4552d012cf938bfbf3a67.html
Specially the xenon lamp, HDMI connector, camera shutter... that is hard to fake but small enough not to see if not extremely careful.

Hope i'm wrong.
