Hi guys,
I tried your tutorial and I think I messed up my N8 since it got stuck on the NOKIA logo when starting up, but nothing else happens. So my thought is that i might be the firmware you provided. My N8 is from Singapore and before I upgraded it to BELLE it had some apps installed specifically for Singapore region.
So, I will give it another go with new firmware files I found specifically for (in my case) Singapore. Please check out this website:
http://www.telefondoktoru.com/support/Nokia.aspxThere you find all NOKIA models with there "native" and or country bound firmware (up and downgrades).
Anyway, I do like your tutorial. If I manage to get my N8 back working again (with the original out of the box installed Symbian^3, i certainly will let you know.
Thnx again, and for all others, do check the web link (firmware for Malaysian user is also there)
