I tried. Twice.
To flash it to anna 21.014, do i need the n8 firmware again, or i can just flash straight to that version, using Phoenix 2011 ?

which version you're on? You can always upgrade or remain at same fw version but never downgrade like that.

Now i'm on 22.014 (Vodafone branded), but i'm still facing the same problem. Ovi store and maps don't start. I still have issues with wlan conectivity. Not even ovi suite can't make maps to work.
I saw on earlier posts, someone had the same issue and i don' know if he fixed it or not.
I want to mention that i did a full phone reset and probably this might be the problem.

If i upgrade to v 25.007 :
what button shoud i use, refurbish, update or sw reset,
shoud i check dead phone or not,
the phone must be on or off,

Sorry to ask so many questions, but i don't want to break something and go trough the whole process again and i REALLY don't want to go back to Belle.

I need help.
Thank you

alright i advice you to stay on version 22 if you don't want belle. But a hard reset must solve your problems just press *#7370#

If I take a look back, I think all my problems started after I did a reset using *#7370#. I don't even have quick office, ovi store, maps icons in he menu. It dissapeared

Honestly, belle is useless for me. Anna is much better. As I said before, Belle is very similar to Android.
I need some help making anna work like it did when i bought this phon

Did anyone have this problems after downgrading to anna ?

Thank you.

Victory!!!

I want to thank vds5344 for all advises he gave. I managed to install 25.007 using "dead phone refurbish".
Personal opinion: E6 users must not upgrade to belle. I don't know how other Nokia handsets work with belle.

PS: I still don't know why Phoenix could not change product code. It got stuck when trying.

For all people who want to downgrade: Pay attention to all the steps in the tutorial.

Good luck

Another success story. Downgraded C7 Astound from Belle to Anna. I had similar experience like E6 user. In step 3 I used "Refurbish" to flash it.
I thought it failed because it went dark, however after turning it up I have Anna on it.
Great job.

Try using the latest version of phoenix, older version had these problem.
