I think this seems to be the most comperhensive guide out there.

Change product code on Nokia 5800 / Debrand Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic


This method applies to the N97 also.

Latest NSS works on my 5800 for change of product code so I would guess it does on the N97 too, that makes the whole thing much easier and eliminates the need for the JAF Emulator if the replacement frimware is to be installed via NSU.

The N97 would brick if you used NSU

And you can prove and "guarantee" that this will happen in 100% of the cases ?

Then please do not make sweeping statements which you cannot substantiate. Now, if you had said that debranding from Vodafone to a Euro code via NSU almost always bricks the phone, then I would agree.

JAF is more complicated to install and use, especially for newbies and is not 100% error-free either. At least if you screw something up you can try and fix it with JAF but again, it's for more advanced tinkerers.
