Any custom ROM for 5800

Friends anybody uses custom ROM for 5800. I am bored with its interface and will get a new handset in Diwali...but for now

all the features should work on that ROM. :smile:

Please Suggest??

^^ OMG, so you don't know about CFWs?? Amazing.. The wonders.

Go here, and amaze yourself..

v5 Custom Firmware / Cooking - Files and Releases

I personally prefer these two CFWs:

(for 5230)

Phantom^1
InFiniTy^01

I know about them but never used them...I have put original hacked CFW few times but never a custom made..

Soo I want some advices...or else will bear the burden for 2-3 more months :razz:

I didn't know anything about these. I will try this on my Nokia 5800

opps If someone confused it with Samsung I5800 then I am sorry I was talking about nokia 5800

^^ try it, they are amazing. Speed gain = double

Conversations integrate(thread sms)
C6's great gallery (gallery loading of 100 pics takes 1 second including thumbnails, for first time)
Everything EXTREMELY FAST RUNNING

ok but I have heard that some of the functionality suffer ...and bugs??

Thats the reason I was asking ...anyways I will search ...I have seen many on dailymobile form

Too many choices are confusing me. Can anyone suggest me the best Flashing method for the Nokia 5800 and also the best CFW. By best I mean stable and useful.
The Photon CFW requires some different flashing method which I haven't been able to understand. It has specifically asked not to use the Naviferm(or whatever?) but hasn't told anything about how to use the alternative.

I'm using C6 RM-612 V40.0.021 ported to 5800 by mara- [Language packs added] ATM

You're welcome.

Thank you Ishu

Flashing easy as cake:

[Tutorial] How to flash with 3 files (C00, rofs2 and uda)

I think I'll try them out, one question, if I kill my phone when burning can I recover it? Or do I need to go to a service center?

Flash again with a clean firmware and it'll be fine.

Do not downgrade you firmware though.

Can I upgrade to parallel firmware? I mean modded 52.xx to another modded 52.xx? Same version, no downgrading.

PS: Give me a link to the best firmware you ever used, I need looks as well speed, default 5800 firmware is slower than my father's 800/- phone.

Thanks, I'll try it out soon.

Yes the default Firmware on Nokia 5800 is very slow. But I haven't been able to find installation tutorials specifically for Photon c6-03.
This is the part that is confusing me:

Use PNHT's C6 Firmware CORE file with my CFW file and not NAVIFIRM files

I will have to use Naviform to install PNHT's c6 Firmware or is there some other software to do that?

And what will happen to my contacts and Notes after I apply the Photon CFW. Will I be able to get them back through the Nokia Ovi suite installed and synchronized on my PC?

I too searched soo many firmware and even downloaded my own from nevifirm...but now confused...will do this flashing on sunday

1) DL C6 V20.0.041 Firmware ported to Nokia 5800 V52.0.007 Fully Working and extract files to C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\
2) 3. Download and Install PKEY Emulator and J.A.F (Google them)
3) Run PKEY Emulator
4) Click OK
5) Ignore the error and click OK
6) Go to 'bb5'tab and Tick - Manual Flash, Dead USB, Normal mode, Untick - 'CRT 308'
7) Tick 'USE INI and Select your phone and appropriate RM from the list (RM can be found in device update)
8) Turn OFF your phone and connect it to the computer via USB
9) Click on flash. Click OK
10) Press (and not hold) the power button when asked by the program.
11) wait.
12) Done

This will install the default C6 FW.
If you want to install any other FW (like photon etc) then DL the CFW files and put them in the C:\Program Files\Nokia\phoenix\products\RM-XXX\ folder.
Rename if necessary

Use the backup thing in File Manager.

Thank you so much Ico

. I will backup using the file manager and then copy the backup folder on my PC just to be sure.

@Ishu Gupta thanks...will try in evening....u made it soo easy :razz:

I would recommend the Phantom^1 FW, best ever I've used. It's a tweaked Photon C6-03.

Now avoid Photon C6-03 it gives less than 20 hours battery backup with minimal usage, Phantom^1 on the other hard lasts 2 days easily.

Can you post a link please. Thanks. I was gonna install Photon c6-03 but am reconsidering now.

I have given the link to Phantom^2 in post #17.
If you want ^1
*forum.dailymobile.se/index.php?topic=46650.0

@Ishu: Phantom^2 has removed podcasting. But I use that feature a lot.Will I be able to add that later?

^^ I dunno. But Phantom^2 has **** load more bugs than Phantom^1.

Currently I'm using Infinity-01 and it's amazing. Waiting for 2(should come next month)

Yes .

Ohh this has bugs??? But I was thinking if I manage to do this right once, I will just keep changing the CFWs till I find the one I really like

. First time must be the most difficult.

ok i too flashed with phantom 2...if i incurr a problem will see

...thanks ..it was easy

I just flashed with C6-03 modded CFW (Biovolt). Everything went off fine and now I have a fully functional phone. I have one irritant and a bug:
Irritant: I just hate what they have done with the full QWERTY keyboard. They have made the keys smaller and added a number key line unnecessarily. It's already pretty difficult to type on a virtual keyboard and this has made it 10X more difficult.
Bug: we can't add a contact to the home screen if the contact has more than one number or any other detail.

^^ install swype. It's a better keyboard and easier to use too.

Although, with a C6 based FW, the RAM will be low, and Swype will eat up another 5MB. Forget Opera 11, constantly out of memory error.

I'm using a N97 ported FW based CFW. Get 62MB ram with widgets on.

Ohh I just flashed to Photon C6-03 (Biovolt) yesterday. It is great but I hate it's keyboard. How is the Virtual keyboard in ^^this mod. More specifically have they tried to put in a number row in there and made the keys cramped like the photon one?
And can we have a working link to a this mod, including all the three necessary files.

Haha 50MB??

: shock:

I get 62MB with Clock + 3 widgets.

What's so great about having free RAM. Will having 60MB rather than 40MB make a huge difference?

My sister has a Nokia 5233. I am going to install custom firmware today...

Tried but could not find download links to Infinity 1...

So, downloading SBXLIVE now...

try surfing with 2 tabs or more than 15 minutes on Opera 11.

Is there any audio enhancement codec for Nokia 5800? I used to flash the firmware of Sony Ericsson W810i(my first phone) just to enhance the quality with various available packs...I must tell...Music sounded awesome after flashing..

Any similar audio enhancement available for Nokia 5800?

Also, after flashing to CFW, is there any way to restore the 5800 with it's original firmware..? If so, how can I backup my original v52.0.007 firmware?

donno about music enhancement ...

but u dont have to backup your firmware...just download it from Nevifirm..U will get the original one :smile:

Thanks!

In Navifirm, for V52.0.007..I found these relevant firmware...

5800 RM-356 Country Variant INDIA IN Black CWM Free Navi v1 MR(059B9L8)
APAC2 India RED (0559673)

APAC2 India BLACK (xxxxxxxx)
APAC2 India BLUE (xxxxxxxx)

I suppose I might need one of the first two firmware right?

Doesn't matter. Make sure it matches the RM (RM-356) and its clean (ie no vodafone airtel ****)

I have installed Infinity 1 custom firmware on 5233 RM 625...

I have a problem. Music player does not detect songs on the SD card... Anyone else having this problem? How do I solve it?

It may only detect music folder in the SD card like mine...I cant save the songs and wallpapers anywhere but just Music, images and video folder...try it

I transfer using WMP, so automatically they are saved at "MUSIC" folder

ANd yeah, the CFWs search MUSIC folder only, so as to not add ringtones etc etc to the song list.

Today, I updated the Nokia 5233 through OVI store to v50.xx

But later, tried to go back to Infinity 1 which is based on v40.xx

The phone is bricked. How can I recover it? Need help.

According to the tuts, Nokia phones die on downgrading.
I'm not sure but you might need to go to CC.

Its dead alright...

I am downloading the latest firmware using Navifirm. Can you please outline the procedure?

On Navifirm, there are more than 3 files...

vpl
c00
rofs2
rofs3
uda
dcp
spr

I am downloading
1. c00 (for MCU)
2. rofs2 (for PPM)
3. rofs3 (for CNT) and
4. uda (for APE Variant)

Is there any special procedure to flash these files? And what are the rest of the files for? Is there any other software than JAF through which I could restore my phone?

Use this tut.

Big mistake... Till today evening, the phone was running Infinity FW. After updating via OVI, I didn't like the stock ROM, so thought would go back... big mistake...

Yeah create it.

Ishu Gupta said:
Yeah create it.

1. OK... downloaded all files...
2. Created phoenix/products/RM-625 in Program Files/Nokiaa
3. Copied all downloaded files to the above folder
4. Started JAF through PKEY
5. Clicked on "Use ini"

My phone is not in the list... Nokia 5233 RM-625 is not in the list...

Now what?

I have JAF 1.98.62 and PKEY emulator 5

---------------------------------------
EDIT:

Flashed manually using C00, rofs2, rofs3 and uda files.

Phone came back to life...

Thanks for the help Ishu...

Glad its fixed

It came back to life even after you tried to downgrade it? That's amazing.
