Hi,
I am writing this blogspost to share the procedure to flash your Nokia 3110c mobile handset. Last week I was synchronizing my contacts with Gmail using Nokia suite. It asked me to upgrade my firmware, I clicked ok and suddenly after upgrade my Nokia 3110c started showing abnormal behaviour. When I switched on a white screen flashed 3 times and phone gets switched off. This is due to the fact the upgrade wasn't successful and your nokia 3110c files are corrupted.
I followed few steps and got my phone back just free of cost. If you go to Nokia store they might take huge amount for this.. So here are the steps:
1. Download Nokia Pheonix setup.
2. Download RM-237 files from
http://www.mediafire.com/?gdjv2ej1m9328so. Nokia 3110c product type is RM-237 hence downloading firmware files.
3. extract these files and create a folder with name "RM-237" under "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\" and paste extracted files in RM-237 directory.
4. Start pheonix. Make sure "NO CONNECTIONS" is selected in connections dropdown.
5. Goto "File> Open Product". Select RM-237 from product type.
6. Goto "Flashing>Firmware Update". Select RM-237 from Product type in dialog that opens on hitting browse button next to product code.
7.Click "Dead phone USB flashing" and connect your phone to your PC with USB cable.
8. Click "Refurbish" and wait for pheonix to flash your phone. Please be patient since it takes 10-15 mins.- don't interrupt in this step.
You will see such logs in output section:
