 | As far as I know, you need a special hardware box (£200+) to flash Nokia phones. I'm afriad you'll have to take it to a Nokia service centre and cough up the dough. |

| The latests nokia phones (such as the N80) can be flashed over USB using a simple cable, but the older ones can't and you have to use a special cable that connects with the connector under the battery. It is this cable, along with the modded battery that nokia recommends for flashing old phones, and charges about £200 for. The 6230 is a few years old now, so it probably does not support USB flashing (I don't actualy know). You will probably be able to get a sutable cable from ebay or the like for less than £200, but probably more than the £15 the phone shop is charging. |

| chrestomanci is right - you need the special cable that goes underneath the battery. I looked into this a few months ago when my firmware corrupted...somehow it magically fixed itself after a few months of being switched off though so I never got round to actually getting a cable, but if you google enough you will find a few websites stocking them. They were around 30-40quid if i remember correctly, so unless you want a few doing try going to your local phone dealer  Mac Pro, 2x Quad core 2.8ghz Xeon, 512mb 8800GT, 4gb DDR2 FB-Dimm Macbook, 1.8ghz Core Duo, 2GB Ram, Superdrive iPhone 2G 2.0.1 "Is it a coincidence that an anagram of gordon brown is "born do wrong" ?, I rest my case. |
