The device that got the most request for a new "The One CFW", finally got one!
The One N8 v5.1.0 is currently uploading and ready for you in a few minutes.
It's based on the latest Belle Refresh v111.040.1511.
The firmware has ~215MB free space on C:\ (with Maps preinstalled). A separate UDA without maps will be available soon (this will give you some more space on C:\).
As always, detailed informations can be found in the changelogs.
Nokia Maps are not integrated into rofs this time, they are fully installed to C:\.
I think in long terms that's the better choice, to make sure we wont have issues updating them.
Since all of you waited so long for this, I hope this version reaches up to your expectations.
I am looking forward to your feedback ;)
AAAAAAHHHHHH thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, I've also not found one major issue with any firmware you've put out since ver3.
ReplyDeleteEverything works and works well. I can't thankyou enough for what you've done for the phone and the community.
A+++ work.

hi cobrin,
Deletenice to hear from you again ;)
thats right, there were not much bugs (and no major/showstopping ones) in a long time.
but i still remember v1.4.0, a hard reset was causing bootloops and you had to reflash your device :p
hey i flashed the belle refresh version. upon finishing the flash, the circle buttons on bottom that reads the one keeps going off, but nothing else happens. what should i do?
ReplyDeleteok update,originally i flashed the belle refresh (wif maps) and replaced the rofs3 wif the chinese rofs3 and proceeded to flash ^ occurred. then i flashed it with the original files provided, it worked fine. so the chinese rofs 3 provided is not compatible with belle refresh?
ReplyDeleteyes i am sorry about that...
Deletestill re-organizing things on my new hoster.
i put up a note, that the keyboards are untested on v5.
maybe some less complex writing languages still work.
for obvious reasons, i can not test them all
thank you
ReplyDeletewhere we can download the files? thank you so much for giving us utmost support for our N8.
ReplyDeletehere on my blog, in the download tab is a link
DeleteHi
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
How can we install Nokia store onto phone now? It won;t install
it does not install??
Deletewhat version are you trying to install?
anyway, get the latest nokia store via the "sw update" directly on the phone.
(its way faster than via sis installer anyway ;))
Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is Hamed,
i alwys loved ur CFWs. But i was wondering if u could change the avkon.mif file for better multi-colored battery and signal icons. would love to hv it
hi Hamed,
Deletethanks for the kind words.
about your request. even with the green battery icon, i got lots of complains and people who were asking about to change it... thats why i left it default this time.
you can change it yourself by replacing this file via nokiacooker before flashing: "core or rofs2\resource\apps\avkon2.mif"
or you can change it without flashing via joshlog patch. you will find that one on daily mobile
Hi Daniel!
ReplyDeleteThanks a last i can flash my n8! your CFW is the best out there. glad to hear from you, BTW this is RV (sidmeier23) from dailymobile.(hope you can recall). Ive already got my own domain. Hope you support my site too :)
Hey mate,
Deletehow are you doing?
i get your news via rss feed ;)
sadly i didn't had time to read them the last few weeks (if you also follow my blog, you know i was offline). but i saw that you changed a lot on the interface.
i hope you enjoy the firmware, lets hear from you soon.
regards
daniel
hello, a petition ... could you upload to mediafire? try downloading 10 times because of this server and all the times I cut ...
ReplyDeleteI would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you One, I have been using your FW for awhile now and it really is a step up.
ReplyDeleteOne quick question before I update again. I have been trying to use the 3.5 mm VGA output without success using an OEM Nokia cable. Is it possible that CFW has changed something about the video out that prevents it from working?
Thanks in advance.
hi mike,
Deletei tested the vga output once myself. it was fully working.
check your phones settings and make sure they match your tv-screen.
(i did not test it on v5, but there is nothing that should interact and break this feature)
Great thanks for the quick replay and the confirmation, I'l give it a go again.
DeleteArg, still can't get 3.5 mm VGA out working…. I know I've read this somewhere but can't seem to find it, If I want to test the official FW, do I just flash the official files from navifirm? Or do I need to go through some other hoops first?
DeleteAlso I'm thinking go going back to your last firmware version just so that Nokia Reader works again (and the new web browser seems pretty sluggish)… Are there any steps needed for going back a version?
Thanks again.
hi mike,
Deleteyour request made me wonder if there actually is a problem in my cfw... i tested it and i think you are right.
the vga cable (originaly from my n95) is working on my 808, but not on the n8.
official firmwares (assuming its the same version or newer), can be flashed right away. if you want to go back on the base version, you need to downgrade first (via scandinavian firmware to pr1.0).
if you flash the original firmware, please report to me if tv-out is working there! i would appreciate it.
btw. i would test it myself, but as you may know the device doesn't belong to me anymore.
Deletei am sure i can get it back to do further testing to fix it, in case this is a cfw problem and not a belle refresh bug...
so if anybody confirms it to be working on original belle refresh, i will take a look at it.
(but to be honest, who doesn't have a hdmi cable (or actually enjoys the image you get via vga?)?)
(things like this is exactly what i predicted, when people asked me to create a cfw without my own device :p)
Ha, I just got the VGA out to work! I think the jack was dirty and not making good contact, I blew the hole out with compressed air, probably fuzz or something from my pocket.
DeleteI would have preferred HDMI, but the screen in my vehicle only accepts VGA inputs.
I still think I may downgrade to The One CFW 4.7, because the Nokia Reader was compatible with that and the performance of 5.10 is very sluggish for me.
I really appreciate your help and firmware work.
just to get this right, vga out is working for you on v5.1.0?
Deleteif thats true, it was probably a problem on my old n8 (the 3.5mm jack is not actually new (sometimes even had issues with the headphones) :P)
Yes VGA working again. Lesson learned.
DeleteTwo quick questions, the internal change logs have moved? Not sure if I should go back to 4.7 (what I had before) or 4.8. Also just to be clear, when rolling back your custom firmware to a previous custom firmware version, I still need to use the official Scandinavian FW first?
thanks for confirming.
Deletei am currently reorganizing my blog. the old internal changelogs, will be available as txt in my uploaded folder...
(the folder archives already exists, but i didn't had the time to upload them).
you need to downgrade via scandinavian fw everytime you change the base version to a lower number.
so from v5.x (v111.040.x) to v4.x (v111.030.x)...
v4.8 & v4.7 are both v111.030. so no need to downgrade first.
btw. thats why my versioning is as it is (read more about it in "description - about versioning"). the same base will always have the first major number.
Thanks for the instructions, you are fantastic.
DeleteHi the one, me again, I'm thinking my upgrade to v5.1 is somehow messed up because the startup dots on the screen have turned into little broken steering wheel icons.
DeleteI reflashed again without switching the rofs3 for spanish language keyboard and there is the same issue still.
Are the dots supposed to have changed?
hahaha, that comment made my day! :)
Deleteyou are talking about "the one" splashscreen. try to read it ;)
you can change it in rofs2\resource\apps\splashscreen.mif
Ha very clever!
DeleteI'm looking forward to see your new mod!
ReplyDeleteHi the one,
ReplyDeleteglad to see this new cfw! One question before flashing: will the tutorial to decrease volume for 3.5mm output still work like in former firmwares?
Big thx and best regards
simonx
hi simonx,
Deleteif you read the changelog, you will see that there is no mod to increase the 3.5mm output volume. you don't need it anymore
yes true - i was so fixated on this - as i read increased max. volume i thought about iExtraX7's mod. So lets get it on :)
DeleteI miss the restart button at power menu. Didn't you integrate it or did MS Apps kill it?
Deleteas you can see in the changelog, the restart option is not preinstalled.
Deletethe reason is, as far as i know its not fully compatible to belle refresh.
you would need rompatcher and the "High level volume fix for new Belle refresh"-patch by iextrax7.
you have to install sysap yourself, if you miss it that much.
You are a symbian compendium. I think I will get an app for it.Thank you

ReplyDeleteHi there.. Great work on the CFW v5.1.0.. May I know whether there's an issue regarding Contacts when receiving calls or messages? i.e. Only phone number displayed, not name and image of that person..
A conflict regarding International prefix (+6).. After adding the (+6), only the name displayed when receiving messages but not when receiving calls..
I was wondering whether there's an issue regarding it?
Thanx..
well, on previous belle versions this was a typical problem, when you used "update" instead of "refurbish".
Deletedid you do a clean reflash?
otherwise, some old files/settings probably conflict with belle refresh...
Hi there..
DeleteAfter waiting patiently while downloading The One v5.1.0, I hard reset the phone, format both the mass memory and the memory card.
Refurbished the phone, tested it out and ultimately smiling with satisfaction :)
This is truly 'The One' CFW that will stay on my phone. Got it handed to you bro.. You really made my day!
Excellent and keep up the good work..
Cheers from Malaysia :)
Very Great.
ReplyDeleteI Love the "The One CFW" from you.
it a text file in "core\resource\versions\"
ReplyDeleteDear Daniel,
ReplyDeleteJust flashed your CFW. It is GREAT.
Thanks for supporting us with the N8.
David (dr)
Hi David,
Deletegreat to see you are still interested in my cfw!
i hope you enjoy v5 ;)
regards
daniel
Hi Daniel,
ReplyDeleteHow are u? I cant seem to download the UDA w/o maps... it doesnt allow me to download. Ive tested 3 PCs already nogo :(
uploaded.to was under maintenance this afternoon...
Deletedo you still have problems?
how about the other files, are they downloading fine?
Damn, i've become addicted to this CFW! can i flash this latest without formatting E?
ReplyDeleteyou can, but there are some system files that may conflict with the new belle version.
Deleteyou can try it and see how its going. if you get any bugs, or the performance feels bad, you can always flash again with cleaned up drives...
(btw. thanks for the question, i will add it to the faq (not that my faq is properly linked on my blog yet:p)
OK, i'll read the previous posts...I've just got the last one to how i like it!
ReplyDeleteHi! I think this question haven't been asked before. I have my phone encrypted. Do I have unencrpyt it before flash it ?
ReplyDeleteRegards
that's a good question... sadly i don't know the answer to it.
Deletei can only make you a suggestion, based on my experience on pc's:
(assuming you can flash an encrypted phone)
-you may lose the encryption key. without that, you will not be able to access your data anymore
-even if you can re-enter the encryption key, that may be not possible at the first boot. you will have problems, because the phone can not access the mass memory
so to make sure everything goes well, i suggest to disable the encryption and re-enable after you flashed and reconfigured your phone.
Sir I already flashed my n8, averything is working greatbut the problem is when I plug my headphones the sound quality poorly decreased, I barely hear a thing. Is there any patch to fix thus problem? Before I flash my n8 this problem never happened with the same headphones. Hope theres a solution to this. Thanks
ReplyDeletehi,
Deletethe solution is to install version 5.5.0.
according to your comment you installed v5.1.0?
Do you mean I need to flash my phone again to version 6.5? is there any solution to this problem without flashing my phone? Thanks for the reply
Deletewhat I mean is 5.5.0 sorry.
Deleteno, the files for the audio quality are in z:\
Deleteyou can only change the rom by flashing
Ok thanks for the quick response, I was just wondering if someone else had the same problem. The problem is I don't have a computer here with me right now. Thanks again. More power
