5230 Software Update

Hi,
I have a Nokia 5230 and I wanted to update it's software, but when I see that it wants a SIM card for the update to work, I get a bit confused. Why does Nokia want a SIM card to update the phone?! I mean, that I don't want to make a huge phone bill just for a update.
Thanks in advance!
Solved!

Irrespective of whether you are using OVI Suite > Tools > Software Updates on PC or FOTA via SW Update on device, in which case as you say there are download data costs there still has to be valid SIM in the 5230.

5230 software update problems

Hi, My phone wont download the latest update through ovi because not enough power in the battery even though it has just finished charging and it wont load through the device because lack of memory even though it has plenty and there is nothing left to delete. Is this a common problem with the 5230 as everything else appears to be with nokia going by these forums.
ps do nokia ever answer any emails to there support centres.
thanks in advance

Have you tried update thru' OVI Suite with the charger connected at the same time ?

Nokia 5230 - cant update to v20.0.005

Just bought a Nokia 5230 from Argos. It had v11.0.079 firmware installed. I've tried updating the firmware to v20.0.005. I used the *#0000# OTA method. However, the latest firmware that it found was v12.0.089 so I installed it. I've tried again to get v20.0.005 but it says I have the latest firmware.
I'm on a Vodafone contract that I've been on for the last 5-6 years. I have it at half price so never get a phone upgrade so I always just buy a new phone every couple of years or so. I'm on such a good tariff that I prefer to keep it that way.
Any ideas why I can't get the v20.0.005 firmware? I haven't tried it via the PC yet as I dont have the required cable (where can I get one of these?).
Thanks

Firmware is tied to product code not phone model .
In your case it will be Vodaphone at fault .

Nokia 5230 wont update

Hi I have a nokia 5230, it keeps saying the phone software needs to be updated to version number 21.0.004, but every time I start the update it just says processing for about 30 seconds then stops and doesn't do any thing, can anyone help?

Try all available options to update viz.
Via software update app installed in phone
By pressing *#0000# in homescreen and pressing options>check for update.
Via pc.
Try at a different time because sometime server may be down.
If nothing works visit your nearest nokia care, they'll do it for you.

Nokia 5230 dont update to 51.x.002

Hi all,
I have a 5230 and if i try to update to latest software, dont update to 51.x.002.

More info from Nokia Suite:

Buy from Vodafone Romania as new.
Is a chance to get latest software update, and if, HOW?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The map data for all Symbian phones was not updated since July 2013. You have the latest version.
The HERE team thinks, if you need newer map data, you have to switch to Windows Phone 8 or Android.
To get v3.09 of the map application, you need a Symbian^3 device like a Nokia 700. You have the latest version of Nokia Maps for a Nokia 5230. Even with the latest firmware-version for your hardware-type (RM-588) which is not available for your firmware-variant (0597862), there would be no newer map application.
Do you face any concrete issues with Nokia Maps?

New Software Update

So my phone says there is an important software update, so I opened it and it only gives me an option to update via PC. Specifically, it says "To update via PC, go to www.nokia.com/softwareupdate. You can take full advantage of your phone's features when phone software is updated to the latest version."
So I went to that website which then told me that "New software releases (version 50.x.00x) are now available for Nokia 5230, 5235 and 5238." I downloaded Nokia suite, believing that that was how I would get the update and synced my phone and everything, but when I checked for software updates, it said that there weren't any to download, even after refreshing a few times. However, my phone still insists that there is one.
So is there a software update? If so, how do I get it?
My phone is a Nokia 5230

Updates vary via region, product code, network unlocked & locked. Phone will update only if its available 4 ur region, product code & network approved(if locked phone).

I get an error message when using my device to update. What should I do?
"Remote server not responding"
Most likely your Nokia device cannot connect to the Internet or the server is not available. Internet connectivity problems may have several causes, such as a temporary network failure in the operator's network or Internet, or missing or incorrect access point settings for the device updates (or web browser) application. Remember that if your device supports it, you can also use WiFi to connect to the Internet and update.
You also need to have Update Server settings programmed into your device. These can be operator-specific settings (contact your operator for help), or standard Nokia settings as shown below:
Key *#0000# into your phone's home screen or go to Device manager (consult your user guide if necessary).

HT5381 i did a software update and now mail wont open at all

Help......my mail app is coming up with an error "You can't use this version of Mail with this version of Mac OS X". Can I uninstall the update?

!! WARNING !!
about the September 2012
"Security Update 2012-004"
If you've got "Mail.app" in a folder OTHER THAN the root "Applications" folder,
MOVE "MAIL.APP" TO THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER
**BEFORE** INSTALLING THE "004" UPDATE!!
Because *IF* you use OSX's integrated Software Update app from the Apple menu to do the "004" updating, and *IF* your Mail.app is NOT in the Applications folder, then buddy, you've got some sitdown fixit time ahead of ya and/or some internet tie-up time downloading the "004" update file itself.
Been through it all, already. In fact, just got done getting my Mail back up & running. And I tried everything short of attempting to unpacking my "Mail.pkg" receipt file using... whatever... even Pacifist couldn't get it out. So that fixit "Plan D" died quick. And I'm not savvy enough to use Terminal commands to do "Plan E," so that SUDO stuff was my brick wall.
So I compressed my entire "Mail" subdirectory that contain all my emails, for safekeeping during the required surgery, or whatever would work, leaving the original Mail directory where it was. In case something bad happened in all my fixit whatevers, the one thing I *didn't* want to cross paths with was a hosed Library -> Mail folder. Then I'd be pssd. But I can wipe out that ZIP now 'cause all's well now. After 6 hrs of downloading thru a mobile broadband hotspot running at only 14KB/sec speed due to my having gone over my T-Mobile hotspot plan's bandwidth amount (throttled-down after reaching the limit, tho not cut off completely. Kinda nice, but it's a huge speed drop).
I tried moving the two Mail.app versions around, compressing them & then trashing the original so they wouldn't be recognized, blabla, even booted my Mac in Safe Mode & reinstalled the "MacOSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) Update Combo.dmg" update file, which in the past has fixed many problems. But after restarting, not this one.
Like a dummy who ignored knowing better, I had my Mail.app in a folder other than the Applications folder, with only an alias to that being in the Applications folder. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. The updater don't see that as nuthin special or useful.
So if you've got, like I've got, "old" icons for Mail.app (v4.5) in your Finder toolbar & in your Dock that all point to "Mail.app v4.5" in whatever folder you've got that in, other than in the Applications folder (where Apple apparently REQUIRES that it be located, and ONLY there, at least for OSX updating purposes), then after you download & autorun that "004" updater using Software Update, NONE of your pre-existing Mail icons will work. And MOST aggravatingly, **NOR** will your brand-new "Mail.app v4.6" work that came out of the "004" updating installation. So basically, your Mail.app's... all of 'em.... are hosed. But only if you run the "004" update without your "Mail.app v4.5" being located in your Applications folder and ONLY in your Applications folder. And duplicates of Mail.app, scattered around your HDD?? Always a problem with many Apple apps.... The Apple software engineers apparently like 'em to be in the Applications folder, and in ONLY there, and ONLY the latest version, and ONLY 1 single copy of each on your entire HDD. They just don't seem to stress that enough, it appears. Kind of an oversight for them to not emphasize that, IMO...
My recommendation for this particular September 2012 "004" update:
If you run Software Update, and if you see the "Security Update 2012-004" listed as available for download, UNCHECKMARK IT. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT USING SOFTWARE UPDATE ! Instead, download the actual update file itself.
Same thing, only a different way of doing it. Most importantly, you'll be skipping the auto-installation that Software Update performs.
AND you'll have that update file on your HDD for future fixits, should a nasty "unfixable" problem come up.
First, #1. Do a filename search for "Mail" (Option-Command-Spacebar). Scroll down to where the "Apps" are located in the list under the "Kind" column heading. First, find your Mail.app that's v4.5. Get that bugger into your Applications folder if it's not already there. Next, Trash all other "Mail.app" apps you see in that same list that you may have elsewhere on your HDD.
#2. Go here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
And download the actual "004" DMG update file: "SecUpd2012-004.dmg"
And of course, it's a biggie.... 270MB... so watching grass grow may be involved here if you've got a slow connection (go to a MacDonalds & do it, like I shoulda done).
3. After downloading, I'd recommend closing down all apps, emptying the Trash, and restarting.
Then, after restarting, run Disk Utility's "Repair Disk Permissions."
Then, doublecheck that the Mail.app version 4.5 is in your Applications folder.
THEN fire up & install "SecUpd2012-004.dmg."
Reboot.
After the reboot, your Mail.app version 4.5 in the Applications folder will have become Mail.app version 4.6 in the Applications folder, and all will be well again.
And you can dump that zipped-up "Username -> Library -> Mail" folder then, too.
Happy Mac'in!

There are no updates to either OS 10.5.8 or Safari 5.0.6.
If you need a later version of Safari you must first upgrade your operating system to a later version of OS X.
