I've upgraded my N73 to the following firmware:


N73 rm-133 v4.0839.42.2.1 ar en (new)
Steps to Flash or install this new firmware using Phoenix
Things u need to do before installing Phoenix Service Software-
-Remove Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Software Updater, Nokia Care Suite, Nokia Modem Dr
ivers, Nokia Connectivity Drivers and all other Nokia stuff from your system thr
ough Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs.
-Restart your PC.
-Do not connect your phone before installing Phoenix software.
-Now ensure you have no antivirus software or any other software running on your
pc or in the system tray while you are using Phoenix ....(if your antivirus doe
snt support disabling then go to safe mode and install Phoenix.). You should tur
n them off while using Phoenix. Make sure your system doesn't have any hanging p
roblem.
-Charge your phone battery to at least 70%. Although flashing takes only 7-10 mi
nutes.
Installing Phoenix Service Software 2008
-First Extract the archive you have downloaded which contains Phoenix Service So
ftware 2008
-Install the software. Be patient, it may take some minutes to install all the c
omponents.
-Don't run Phoenix software now.
-connect your Nokia handset to your pc with USB cable in PC Suite mode.
-windows will start installing the connectivity drivers as soon as you connect t
he phone. Let it install completely.

-If your firmware file is in .rar format, first extract it using WinRar on deskt
op.
-On desktop you will find .exe file of your firmware file.
-Install the exe file. Do not change its path. It will install it to default loc
ation of C:\Program files\Nokia\Phoenix\Products\
-If you have downloaded a firmware File which Doesn't have an autosetup,then jus
t copy your Extracted folder Manually in the directory:C:\Program files\Nokia\Ph
oenix\Products\
-Be sure you install updated firmware. You cannot downgrade your phone's firmwar
e in BB5 phones which includes all new Nokia phones including N-Series.
-Phoenix allows downgrading but your phone doesn't allow it as your phone has so
me special security built into it. So no use of trying it. You'll get an error m
essage.
