To search for a new or old (for flashing)flashing the phone, you need to know exactly its model and version of the currently installed firmware. All this for Nokia phones can be found by dialing the code * # 0000 # in the input field of the subscriber number. In the information that appears, we find the model (usually in the first line, for example, Nokia 7500) and the firmware version (it usually looks like this: v05.20 - firmware version, line below the firmware release date and its type, for example, RM-249).

You will see the latest version of the latest software (firmware) and instructions on how to install this firmware (link to the program for updating, etc.). If your phone was not found on the office. site, try to search it in the proposed archive (the "View in archive" button will appear), you will suddenly be lucky and there will be a firmware, not just the user's manual.
