Can't update my N96 firmware

I have downloaded Nokia Software Updater for my N96, when I run the program it says my current firmware is 10.065 and that an update of 11.101 is available. I have downloaded the 115mb update, everytime I start the update process it never gets past saying 15 minutes to go, then it goes into phone recovery mode. I can never get past this point. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program but this has not worked. During the time it trys to update the firmware it sounds like the phone disconnects from the computer a number of times. I am running Windows XP on my laptop and using the latest version of Nokia Software Updater. Can somebody please help me?

Must say..i have my K700i which still seemlesly connect to PC on bluetooth as a remote and works like a charm. Syncs with all PC softwares and keeps me updates.
Nokia advertised DVB-H in N96 which is just useless in UK. Then coming to Navigation ... well They have got technology but they are making it useless when not providing API functions for programmers. I have not seen any good coding practice for Media Player on Nokia Phones. Last time I played an FLV file on Nokia and it went straight to media player where I am not allowed to create playlist or even ask it to search for Stored video files.
Menus and Settings are so customized and blocked by service providers that most of you might have not noticed but when even I click centre button about 76% of time it goes to another menu and I have to come back.
During driving you should be able to go on handsfree or loudspeaker with press of at most two buttons. If you are using an application you have to come to main screen to switch on loud speaker which is not a good thing as this phone has got about 8 buttons which can be easily configured to provide such functionality with just single press (or keep press for 5 seconds)
Anyways I think there are better programmers and coders present with SE than Nokia and when Nokia decided using OpenSource Symbian it should respect OpenSource developers and help them to develop things and ideas. Nokia focus on opportunities to advertise and create communities to discuss problems rather than releasing hassle-free product. Why cant Nokia sort out its already released handsets first and then go for any new ones. Afterall when they release new handset they make an impression that previous one was just **bleep** and you should pay a little more to get this one. I think this will become a term for Nokia - Next only Known investing Asinine (The only known next foolish thing to spend your money on) The rest of them you might know after spending but this one for sure.

HT3706 Can't update the EFI firmware.

When trying to update the EFI firmware, I get the message: 'This computer does not need this update.' even though my firmware is out of date.
My firmware version is:
Model Name:          Mac mini
Model Identifier:          Macmini3,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.26 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          3 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          MM31.00AD.B00
SMC Version (system):          1.35f1
Serial Number (system):          YM9381HS9G5
Hardware UUID:          4366F0EE-B742-5F78-B3C2-01C6D0DAD36F
and Apple recomends:
Mac mini (Early 2009)
Macmini3,1
MM31.0081.B06 (EFI 1.2)
Is the 00AD part of the version number in Hexadecimal? in which case it is a higher version and does not need the update.
The reasons for my confusion is that I'm trying to install new memory modules, which are either failing due to incompatability or due to firmware versions, so I'm simply trying to rule something out....
Thanks

Thanks,
Was just double checking, before I returned perfectly compatible RAM.
The RAM I tried was indeed "PC8500 DDR3 1066MHz 204 Pin", but I guess there are more subtleties than that...
So, for anyone wishing to avoid my problems, then it was:-
Kingston RAM
Part No: M51264H70
and this was the most info I could glean about them:-
Speed: DDR3-1066 / PC3-8500
Technology: DDR3 SDRAM
ECC: No
Unbuffered
Voltage: 1.5V
Form Factor: 204-pin SO-DIMM
None of the above conflicts with what apple recommend.
I had located the Crucial ones before posting, so I'll probably go with them as they are based in the UK.
Thanks

Can´t update SRW2024 to firmware 1.2.2, without boot image "runtop_boot-101.rfb"

Hello
I need a bit help upgrading a SRW2024 to latest firmware.
I started by upgrading to v.1.2.2, but the switch just started rebooting all the time, I flashed back to 1.0.0.86 via console xmodem.
On Cisco FAQ theres a guide how to upgrade the SRW2024. The guide says I have to update the boot image before the flash image, but the boot image is not available on cisco´s download section anymore.
Can you please help me with the boot image. (runtop_boot-101.rfb)
Thanks.

Hi
I hope you have called the SBSC, since they haven't as yet responded to this request.

Can't Update TimeCapsule to Firmware update 7.5.1

1st off is it out? When I check for updates it said I had the latest update. Plus, no download link on the site.

Your device is running Version 7.4.2, is that correct?
As I recall, the latest generation of dual band products were introduced with Version 7.5 firmware in the summer of 2009. If you purchased your TC in September...and your version is running 7.4.2 firmware...my guess would be that you received a TC that had been in a dealer or store's inventory for a few months.

How can i update the FPGA2 Firmware

Can not update iphone firmware using iTunes "The network connection timed out"

Hello,
I can not update the iphone firmware using iTunes.
Messagte displayed

I have run network connectivity tests from iTunes and All Tests passed.
Can anyone help?
Thank you,

Did you make sure it was the exact file for your device and the latest version? I just downloaded the latest file for my iPhone4, put it in the folder I mentioned above and it ran the install versus downloading the file. This problem where it times out after downloading is a big Bug within iTunes that has been there ever since IOS 7.0 was released. I wished these apple developers would just fix iTunes. There are a ton of complaints about this issue. I sure miss Steve Jobs running this business, I really feel like it's gone down hill after he left.
I hope this helps!
Regards.

Zen Micro firmware CIRCLE -Can't update firmware w/out driver, can't update driver w/out firmwa

Hi,
I know lots of peopl are having the same problem. I have a Zen Micro 5Gb. I have previously updated the firmware to the plays for sure (about 2 years ago) and it's been fine.
The device had had the hard dri've replaced after it failed, and I need to reload the firmware. I have all the files, I've read all the FAQ and support I used last time (I keep everything) and my notes from 2 years ago say it was easy.
However. Not now. I figure WMP caused a lot of problems. Right - got that out the way. Fresh installs of XP SP2 is the way to go.
I have also followed the instructions here:
http://http://forums.creative.com/showthread.php?t=3478
But, I keep going round in circles. Can't update firmware without driver, can't update driver without firmware.
Any driver install I try asks me to connect the device to complete the installation, but, it won't recognise the device because there is no firmware. I try to upload the firmware, and it says there is no device (because there is no driver).
I have tried multiple machines, with SP2 installed and only WMP9 (never had WMP0).
I have tried USB , 2, hubs, front ports back ports, again on multiple machines.
I've even used an XP install on VMware on a MAC (This was the closest to success).
On the Mac, The player was recognised even in its flash problem state and I could actually start the firmware update. However, it failed to complete successfully.
Has anyone actually managed to do a firmware update on n old Zen using a 2008 PC? Please help!

If your player had PlaysForSure firmware, you'll need to download a PlaysForSure firmware version. That should resolve your issues since PlaysForSure does not use a Creative driver but rather a nati've Windows driver. But you will need to have WMP0 installed, WMP9 does not support PlaysForSure.

Can't update the firmware of my GT70 2OC (Problems with your firmware)

I can't update the last firmware of GT70 2OC, the guide says run file ecwin.bat as administrator and it will automatically choose which folder of (352x & 353x) is the right one for my notebook and it will run automatically.. well it doesn't do that and it show me this
And this is what inside the firmware.zip
So, which folder is the right one for the GT70 2OC ? (352x or 353x) ?
Because I can just run the winflash.exe from anyone of them.
BTW Norton removed "Autoflash.exe" it detected it as a medium risk and bad reputation -_-

Quote from: Omar Os on 28-January-15, 17:41:27
The problem is I think I installed the wrong one last time :\ because they made the same mistake and the same error appeared -_- so I may have installed the wrong one from the 352x or 353x .. and the touch buttons didn't work since then I think.. maybe that's why !
if you are sure that you reflashed to the wrong one,
then reflash to correct one, there are 2 choices only
ie: if your current is .7xx and you have issues some keys not working or other not working stuffs, then reflash to .5xx
and opposite

turn off/disable Norton before flashing

N96 - Firmware 30.0.33 Changelog? Anyone?

Where can I find the N96 firmware 30.0.33 changelog?

changelogs contain the changes made from previous firmware versions to the new firmware version updates. however, these are considered confidential information by Nokia and are not released into the public domain. your best bet is to read up on users subjective experiences by Googling for the firmware changes/improvements/bug fixes etc.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

N96 firmware updats on a Mac or Windows 7?

Iv got firmware v12 and would like to update the firmware to v30 on my N96, touble is there seems to be no support to do this on a mac or windows 7???
I even installed a virtual xp os on both systems, but in both cases the phone is detected and works fine running PC Suite......but in both it fails to detect the N96 when running the nokia updater?
also using the phones upade option though *#0000# fails as it says no updates avalable from Nokia.

Have you checked that v30 is available for your product code, http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-updat...
I've heard that some people have managed to get NSU working under Win7, there are a few threads in the SW updates section if you want to search
You could also take the phone to a nokia care point and have them do the update

How can I update the firmware all at once

I'm a tech support in a school, approximately our school has over 500 laptops, how can I update the firmware on all laptops at once?

Apple Configurator is the software you want - and it's free from Apple. However, I'm dubious that firmware can be updated all at once.

While updating iphone software to 5.0.1, I am getting error that Iphone could not be updated because the firmware file not compatible.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue.

Using iTunes 10.5.2.11 on a PC running 64 bit Windows 7
First did a full back up of iphone using iTunes
Put iphone into Recovery Mode ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 ). Erases all user data and settings!
Disconnected USB cable from iphone
Powered off iphone by holding down Sleep/Off button until slider appeared, slid to off, waited until screen dark
Pressed and kept holding Home button while plugging cable back into phone
I still saw the graphic on the iphone that said to plug into iTunes, so I unplugged and re-plugged cable. (I may have released the Home button too soon)
Recovery Mode alert came up in iTunes.
Followed all iTunes prompts to restore phone - it downloaded and sucessfully installed iOS 5.0.1
iphone did not appear in iTunes due to missing pairing file (that made me nervous)
iphone was now at factory settings. I followed prompts on iphone screen to start reactivation process
Eventually the iphone asked if I wanted to restore from a back-up (whew!)
A window opened in iTunes and I was able to select my previous back-up file for the restore
A full restore from back-up then occured
I also allowed a carrier settings update to occur when prompted (not sure that happens in all cases)
When the restore was done I had to re-enter some passwords, but everything was there
iOS is now 5.0.1 (9A406). The whole process took about an hour.
