N80 Firmware Upgrade success!!

I had been waiting for this firmware upgrade for the N80 since this service started. I am glad to say that the upgrade was successfull. I was a little worried because i'm not from the UK, but from South Africa and so doing the upgrade was a bit of a risk, but there was no risk!
Finally. I'm happy now

What is your n80 variant?
Type *#0000# on your phone, whats the number after "NOKIA N80"
example: (58.01)

  • N80 firmware upgrades (how?)

    Hello,
    There has been some discussion here about the N80 firmware. My N80 is orange and suffers from a few issues. Firstly the web browser is pretty much useless for me, out of memory errors on almost every page. Relatively frequent out of memory errors in Gallery whilst attempting to play a video taken with the camera. Snakes is not playable it crashes out as soon as you actually try to start the game.
    I'm wondering how firmware upgrades are peformed with a network like orange? I presume Nokia service centres wouldn't do this because of the altered firmware for the network.
    I'm in the UK if it makes a difference.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Yep, but it's a pain to do as you have to keep backing up on the PC every time you get a new contact.
    Is that an N95 in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?!?
    Life's too important to take seriously.
    Nokias I've owned 3210, 3310, 6100, 7650, 6600, 6680, 6630, N80, N95

  • Nokia n80 firmware upgrade problems

    Hi all i just tried to do a firmware upgrade using the nokia sites stuff and my pc crashed and now my fone wont turn on could some1 please tell me
    1 if this is terminal
    2 if i can sort this out myself
    3 point me in the right direction for the info i need to sort out my 3 week fone
    4 how much i should expect to pay if i HAVE to go to a shop to get it sorted
    thanks in advance for any help given

    Right first thing I would try is to connect your mobile to your pc and try running NSU again. If it connects to your N80 great you should be able to just start over.
    (Tips: Run only the NSU on PC close all other programmes down. and ensure your N80 is charged fully or at least plug your charger into the N80 whilst doing the update.)
    If your N80 Isn't recognised by the NSU then its dead and the only way go revive the poor little things is to:
    1: Take is to a Nokia Service Centre. Carphone warehouse is usually your closest NSC, If your lucky they will have an 'on site' techinician and he will fix your N80 within an hour or same day, if not then you will have to leave it with them for a week or so.
    2: Call your Service provider, tell them your N80 just went bye bye and they should swap it for you or at least give you a refurbished N80.
    You won't be charged by the Nokia Service Centre for any work done as your within your warrenty and if you choose to go back to your service provider you should also be covered. This has happened to me and I sent my N80 back to O2 they had a refurbished model sent back to me within a couple of days with no charges.

  • N80 Firmware Upgrade

    Hey, I have had an N80 for nearly a year now, and last night when I was attempting to back up my phone it seems to have gone a bit mad.
    Every now and again a Message flashes up saying
    MESSAGE: SUPPORT NOT FEATURED
    This is when going into Text messages or phone gallery, consequently I am unable to view the messages and the gallery as they will not load.
    I would be grateful if you had any ideas on what it could be and what I could do? Could it need a firmware upgrade?

    I think it's unlikely that a firmware problem like that would suddenly appear after a year.
    I would check the memory card first as it sounds like it could be problems there. Failing that, I would back up the phone and memory card and do a factory reset on the phone (see the pinned thread on the smartphone board for details of how to do this) and a reformat of the card.
    If you still have problems, then it's a trip to the service centre, I'm afraid.

    Hey Guys!
    To be very frank with you, first of all you have to decide why you are upgrading your firmware in Nokia N80IE?..... Recently I have also upgrade my N80IE with latest version V.5.0719.0.2 (24-05-2007)but I encountered so many problems. And it is like a one way street once you upgrade the version you can downgrade the version again. Therefore... be careful before you change the version.

    Message Edited by jokerady on 28-Feb-2008 10:03 PM

    Sadly something has gone wrong with the update leaving the phone unusable. You can try a hard reset but remove the sim and memory card first.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selction screen.
    If this fails the your only option is to get it repaired. If you are in Europe you get a 2 year warranty, not 1 year.

    You don't have to SHOUT ... !!! ;-)
    The GENERIC-firmware of the 6630 is updated; this doesn't mean that the Operator-variants, i.e. Vodafone & T-Mobile, updated THEIR firmwares as well . . .
    Nokia Software Uploader looks for the Production-Code of your GSM.
    With NSU, you can NEVER change your Operator-Firmware to the GENERIC Nokia one!

  • N80 Firmware Upgrade Problems.

    Hi I have just used the Software update utility to update my N80 from V3.x to the latest one v4.x. It now hangs when trying to open menus ie when trying to open the SMS menu or gallery. It has also locked up a few times after hanging up a call. Trying to take a picture worked but it took ages to open the camera application. Can anyone tell me if there is some way to fix this? Cheers

    I got similar hanging problem when I had restored data after upgrading. There are some sis application which does not restore properly. A format will only help here otherwise you have to identify the sis in the memory card and delete it in data transfer mode.

  • Firmware Upgrade for WRT54G

    I have download latest firmware Version 8, I completed the firmware upgrade successfully, however on the router page right on the top it still show the earlier
    version 1.02.
    How do I checked whether I upgraded to Version 8. I have followed the firmware upgrade procedure and try the next lower version 6 but still show Version 1.02.
    Is my router faulty, as it revert back to factory default after 1 month of new router
    configuration.
    Cheers!
    Raymond Chang

    On the tag all it means is that you have the version 5 of that router.  Linksys will make them diferently (different chips etc.. etc..).  Now the firmware version is the version of (software) installed on the chip in the router.  If you tag says you have a version 5 you need to install the firmware for a version 5 router.  The latest firmware is version 1.02.2 which came out 7/02/2007 for the version 5 router.
    Here is a link to the WRT54G v.5 router.

  • N80: Do I need operator specific firmware upgrade?

    Hi,
    I just had a nightmare with my local Nokia service center.
    After ringing last week and being told they had the new N80 v4 firmware, I dropped the phone off yesterday morning to get it upgraded. I won't go into details, but it was so badly mismanaged, I missed a business meeting at 5pm, they told me it would be done on 4 separate occasions and then - they couldn't do it because it was an Orange branded phone.
    Is this the case? Do I have to wait for a specific Orange version of the new N80 firmware? How will this affect the FOTA aspects once Nokia support it?
    Regards
    J>

    If you handset is Network branded then the service point will only install the update that is authorised by the Network. this has always been the case. So it would look like Orange would need authorised that firmware update for their handsets.
    I think it has something to do with braking the warranty you have with your network provider.
    When receive a handset from your network provider, you are agreeing to use that phone with their software installed to get the full service. By debranding it your network can refuse to give you support. I'm my case I lost my handset and got a new one from my insurance. this one was not branded so when I call my network for help with mms/gprs setting they refused on that one detail.
    Now I just stick to Generic handset, a lot les hassle.

  • Software (firmware) upgrade for N80??

    Hi, i've noticed you can now update your firmware over the air, found it on the Nokia website:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,,00.html?orig=/softwareupdate
    However, i have an N80 and was wondering why the N80 is not in the list of selected handsets? How can i update my N80 firmware over the air in this way??
    Any information will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    Andy, there is a separate section here for firmware/software update, hopefully the mods will move this there. I am sure it will come there soonest, we have only seen the start of the service now.

  • HP 5524 Wireless does not work after firmware upgrade

    HI,
    I have just purchased an HP5524.  After initial problems setting up the WPA key from the printer screen, I connected via USB, found the printer and swapped to wireless successfuly. I then installed the printer software on all my computers at home successfully over wireless.
    The printer then needed a firmware upgrade to support eprint (?), which is successfully connected, downloaded the fireware, installed and went through the boot cycles successfully. 
    However, ever since wireless will not work.  Before I return it to the retailer as "not fit for purpose" I thought I would ask the forum.  The diagnostics downloaded a tool, which I went through, but this did not offer solutions that I had not already tried.
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting you query,
    In order to resolve the issue, please make sure the printer is placed closer to the router and uninstall the printer drivers already installed and then start the instalaltion and seelct teh connection type as wireless network. Then select use USB to configure wireless and when prompted conenct the USB cable and then select the network and enter the encryption key follow the onscreen  instructions.
    If the issue still persisits, please open the browser and in the address bar enter the IP address of the router and click on GO. This will take you to the router configuration page. On the router page, please click on Wireless Setup  and please make sure SSID Broadcast is enabeld and the Wireless Mode is set to Mixed or 802.11 B/G/N and the Wireless Channel is set to 11 and click on Apply. Then try to connect the printer to the network by using the CD.
    Say "Thanks" by clicking the Kudos Star in the post that helped you.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

  • Avoiding Firmware Upgrade Grief

    Assuming that you have a non-UDP (User Data Preservation) phone, like the N95, a firmware upgrade can be a major thrash. Many posts in this forum attest to these problems, but they continue to occur, in part because of inadequate instructions.
    Here are some thoughts that might be helpful:
    1) FIRST: Ask yourself "WHY am I doing this?" If your aren't looking for any specific fix that you KNOW the firmware upgrade will address, then at least admit that you are possibly doing it "just because it's there." For those of us who have no other Everest in sight, that might be sufficient reason. But, it is a violation of the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" maxim. I know you know.
    2) SECOND: If you are still going to do this, make the appropriate backups. Plural. In spite of the rather glib advice on the firmware upgrade screen, backups to your Memory Card are NOT/NOT equivalent to those made with Nokia PC Suite. I'll explain why in a bit. Sure, go ahead and do both, but the Nokia PC Suite backup is the (only) one that will be likely to get you out of the woods. And that, only partially.
    a. Backups to a Memory Card give you NO CONTROL over what is backed up OR restored. It's all or nothing, and sometimes what's included in "All" is just enough to trash your newly-updated phone.
    b. Backups with Nokia PC Suite allow YOU to CHOOSE both what you want to backup and restore. So, backup everything if you like, but realize that you NOT successfully restore a highly customized system in one fell swoop after a firmware upgrade. But you CAN get back the essentials (if you have made the backups). By "essentials," I mean user-created data that you could not recreate easily or at all (contacts, messages, etc.). I do NOT mean specific applications, which you should be able to reinstall separately.
    c. What about all of those Nokia Maps locations? Go to your Landmarks application, select every one you might ever want to see again, and then SEND them to another compatible Nokia phone via Infrared. Save them all on the second phone (you can reverse the process to get them back on your main phone). Wait: You are thinking about a firmware upgrade and have no comparably functional backup phone? Please reread item 1) above
    d. Did you have to do any MANUAL configuration of Packet Data Access Points? I did before I could get my N95 to work as a modem for other devices. Write those details down somewhere. You'll need them. Same for WPA encryption keys and SSIDs. Consider putting this info in the fields of one of your contacts, so you can later use cut/paste to enter your encryption keys for your APs.
    e. Make a list of every purchased application you have currently installed, even if you don't intend on using them again. Make sure you have product registration codes available. You'll need them.
    Attempts to do an overly-comprehensive restore after firmware upgrade can cause serious problems such as loss of both 3G and WiFi data connectivity. That should be enough to get anyone's attention. It got mine after the fact! If you make careful, incremental backups of crucial information and are willing to be patient, you can eventually get your system back the way you want it.
    3) BACKUPS all done? Too bad Nokia provides no verification process outside of the PC Suite log, but it usually works well-enough without it.
    4) UPGRADE your firmware. Follow all of the advice and cautions but don't believe the part about a backup to your SD card being remotely adequate. It might be, but most likely only if you have very little customization and no or few third-party apps.
    5) NEXT: Get your basic settings (time, date, etc) right.
    6) THEN: Connect to PC Suite and RESTORE only your Contacts and Text Messages. Confirm that all restored.
    7) NOW: Insert your SD card and IMMEDIATELY set your own PW for the card (if you had previously removed it). If you had applications on the SD card, some might work, others won't, and you'll probably get an "Installing" message followed by an error message to the effect that the applications could not be installed. Ignore the message to try to restore them yourself from the card. Don't (usually) bother to try to remove them, either, as that often doesn't work.
    8) THEN: Recreate your WiFi connections and (if your provider-issued APs aren't right) your Packet Data APs. Make sure they work. Test by using your browser. No point trying to install products which require working data connections as part of the install process (e.g., gMail, Truphone) before confirming that such connections are available.
    9) ALMOST DONE: Start reinstalling all of your prior applications. I suggest (if you have the choice) that you put them where they were before (SD Card or internal phone memory). If there are any you want to ditch, go back and remove them after first reinstalling them. That tends to get rid of the nagging "Installing" message.
    10) FINALLY: Take it slowly, and set priorities. Put your essential apps on first, and remember that much of your customization probably took place over a period of days, weeks or months. Cumulatively, that might represent hours of tweaking. Re-tweaking will take no less time. Spread some of it out for your own sanity.
    What have I forgotten? Probably plenty, and I'm sure someone else might be able to provide other, equally valid approaches, or suggestions which complement those offered above.

    Very useful post. However I have to say that all those steps are necessary even if you have a FP2 phone with UDP. From my experience all that UDP does is to screw up your phone even more after a firmware upgrade. It's always better to start with a clean slate anyway

  • N80 Firmware

    Dropped off my N80 at my local service centre earlier on today to upgrade firmware. Got a phone call a couple of hours later from the engineer telling me that there has been 10 updates released for my phone for the version I have(I only got it last friday) but.... the phone will not respond to any update he tries to install. The phone is communicating with his computer but will not install any update. So I've since had to contact o2 to arrange a replacement to be sent to me, which will probably itself need to be taken for a firmware upgrade. Fingers crossed this one will be alright.

    Hi
    Im going to lock this thread, since the N80 firmware is being discused in other threads, and nothing is being said to merit a new thread.
    New N80 Firmware - 4.0623.0.24
    and
