  1. How risky is it? If your phone is on warranty, after flashing this version will the manufacturer/seller's warranty be void? If something goes wrong, how to recover it? It would be much better if you can please upload a video having real flashing done in it like flashing your own phone so that all the viewers could try this with confidence! Please consider!

  9. I SEE THAT SOME OF YOU GUYS HAD PROBLEM OF PHONE JUST VIBRATING AND DISPLAY NOT COMING UP AFTER THESE STEPS!!! JUST TO ANSWER THAT,I TOO CAME ACROSS THE SAME ISSUE, WHAT YOU WILL HAVE TO DO THEN IS, YOU WILL HAVE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FIRMWARE FILES FROM NAVIFIRM AND USE THE SAME STEPS @THUGsySrikanth HAS FOLLOWED ON THIS VIDEO, USE PHONEIX SOFTWARE ITSELF AND FLASH WITH THE FILES YOU HAVE DOWNLOADED FROM NAVIFIRM, IT WORKS FINE FOR ME NOW.. I GOT SHOCKED FOR A WHILE WHEN I FACED THIS ISSUE :)

  11. this firmware is based on ofw 20.0.3 so if u have a later firmware version like 23.1.0 then its must be bricked...

    Dont worry!!
    it will be recovered!!
    download navifrm +
    then find your suitable ofw files...
    flash again using the same instruction

    Open Phoenix
    Click File > Open Product > Select RM-697 (Better type RM-697 in type filter then select it)



    Go to Flashing > Firmware Update



    Open Product Code and Select RM-697 CTR INDIA Aluminum Grey and Click OK



    Check Dead Phone USB Flashing Then Click Options


    Turn Off Phone (Make sure its disconnected from PC) > Click Refurbish > A Dialog Box will appear, Press Ok > Connect Phone to Computer > PC will Install the drivers, and phone will boot to Nokia Splashscreen > Remove USB > Wait for phone to turn off > Connect USB flashing will resume

  15. Hey guys if your c5-03 RM-697 sw version is 23.0.015 pls don't flash your mobile.The CFw provided is based on sw version 20.0.024. If you flash your mobile using it your mobile will brick. If you have already flashed your mobile and its not booting then download c5-03 RM-697 sw version 23.0.015 for your mobile using NaviFirm and flash it using the proper firmware.

  16. This trick for those who brick their after flash,who's phone vibrate after flash...
    Let's Begin u just have to flash with ur current original firmware file,which files can be download from navifarm+ and then flash using phoenix and ur phone will be recoved....try this...

  17. Nidhin is right.... Those who have bricked their phone download the latest package from navifarm+ or Mr Crab.net's website.
