Nokia (6131 in my case) flashing (programming)

Good info here - http://forum.mobiles.lt/index.php?topic=10487.0

In a nutshell:
1. Clean PC from any nokia software:
2. Restart PC
3. Download and install Pxoenix 2009
4. Download and install Your phone firmware
5. Restart PC
6. Connect phone to PC using USB cable
7. In Pxoenix 2009 - manage connections, add and apply USB connection
8. Scan product (Ctrl+R)
9. If phone not found - check cable
10. If still no luck - GO TO 1.
11. Select Flashing->Firmware update
12. Select product (if not selected)
13. Press Refurbish
14. Pray...

You can also Flash dead Nokia which does not start - then:
in a step 7 select No connection (remove other connections)
in a step 8 just select Open product and select Your product

And everything at Your own risk !
