Hi Austin, Can I ask, is the reason you want to flash your N79 to get features of the OS which it does not currently have? As I said, you're looking at a big jump from N79 to N8 with many hardware changes. I don't have an opportunity to look at the hardware specifics, but if you were really set on this I'd go with a firmware for a phone that as closely matches the N79's hardware as possible. I say again that going for the N8 firmware carries a huge risk of bricking your phone permanently. HTH. _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.
