Disappointed w E51 Firmware Upgrade

Good day! I have just upgraded my Nokia E51, with Product Code 0552354, from 100.34.36 to 200.34.36 firmware. The said upgrade finished successfully and confirmed through my phone by keying *#0000# in stand-by.
However, when I tried to update my Mail for Exchange inbox using a public WiFi as I have previously done, I keep encountering an error. The same public WiFi was detected and my phone says it is connected.
I tried browsing for google.com and after a few seconds of waiting, a "Web: No Gateway Reply" message.
When I got back to my desktop and queried for the error message I encountered, luckily or unluckily, tons of fellow Nokia users posted the same dilemma.
Does firmware upgrade sort of 'malfunctioned' my phone's WiFi functionality? If so, then what's the purpose of the upgrade?
I contacted Nokia Care via email and the response was to check my Wireless LAN settings by going to Tools > Settings > Connection> Wireless LAN > Options > Advance Settings > Changing advanced settings is not recommended. Continue anyway? > Yes > Automatic Config > Disabled > Power Saving > Disabled. Yet to no avail.
I find it VERY disappointing provided the fact that I chose this phone primarily because of it's WiFi feature. I don't have time to go to Nokia Care centers that is why I am consulting this board. Hope someone could give a response that could fix this issue... :-(
Determination overcomes impossibility...

if there was newer firmware with larger number,you can download it via NSU and upgrade your phone through this.
if you couldent seen newer firmware,your phone is branded and yor support network doesnt let you to upgrade your phone!!

Firmware upgrade required: A huge WRT54G IS the internet!

On South Park last night ... it was revealed that a giant Linksys WRT54G router IS the internet! Apparently though, this router needs a firmware upgrade because it had some blinky light issues (it had to be power cycled to get the internet working again.)
I demand to know: what is Cisco doing to address problems in this critical piece of our national infrastructure?

E51 Firmware upgrade

Hi,
Just upgrades the firmware on my E51 and now I can't get the bluetooth connection to my PC to be automatic. THe phone keeps asking if I will accept connection every 5 minutes or so. Anyone got any ideas what I'm doing wrong or is it a glitch in the new software? It's driving me nuts!!!!
Cheers

Safe boot required for firmware upgrades??

The two recent firmware upgrades, EFI and SMC, both required me to do a safe boot for the firmware to install. Is this normal behaviour?? Trying to do the firmware install from a normal boot results in in an installation failure.
Possibly related, the "fixed" version of Parallels crashes the Mac during the install. If I try the same install during a safeboot, it will install. However, the system will panic during a normal boot until Parallels is uninstalled.
Thoughts?? Advice??? Thanks!

Have you tried going into your Start menu, looking for the HP folder, then using the wireless configuration utility? When I set the wireless up on my machine, this was how I did it and it worked beautifully.
Please let me know if you need any other help.

Firmware upgrade, then lost

Hi,
Quickly following automatic firmware upgrade on 1 week old Time capsule, network is now lost. Airport set up utility can't find Time Machine .. others experience the same problem? TM feels hot .. perhaps overheated due to firmware upgrade. Solutions welcome.

Your computer came with OS 9.0.4 installed. OS9.1 is required for Classic so is handy to have, and apparently your firmware installer requires 9.2.1 You can use free updaters to update to any later OS9 version from any earlier one.
I don't see any option but to obtain a used copy of OS9. Make sure you get the gold full retail version rather than a machine specific version since the latter will only work in those computers for which they were designed. You can get away with a machine specific version as long as it exactly corresponds to the model and build of yours, but that is often hard to confirm until too late in the purchase.
Note that any drive you want to use with OS9 either for purposes of installing OS9 or for running software will have to have OS9 drivers present on it. These are installed when you format a drive and cannot be installed later without reformatting the drive (and losing everything on it). If your computer still has its original drive then those will likely still be on there unless you reformatted the drive with OSX and did not select the keep OS9 drivers option (there's no harm in doing so and it saves a lot of trouble for doing exactly what you are trying to do). You can can have a drive present that doesn't have the drivers but it simply won't be seen by OS9.
Disconnect all third party hardware (including PCI cards) when updating the firmware.

Firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280

I would like to know do we have firmware upgrade for Nokia 6280 as my present one is 3.65 and would like to upgrade it to 5.92 and I am in India
Could you please help me out.

updating to new firmware depends on product code which represents your region of purchasing, language pack and if it's branded or not .... so NOKIA releases firmwares and release it for every product code depending on mentioned points
you can check for updates @ :
http://mea.nokia.com/support/download-software/device-software-update/can-i-update
To find what the latest available device software is, you’ll need your device’s product code. The code is printed on the white label beneath the battery (e.g. CODE: 0520001).
if your phone is branded with an operator, that means that you should go to the operator care center and ask them, not NOKIA
some updates delay in some countries variant product code, as it requires more effort to add language pack to it like "example. China Japan Korea" or it needs the country to approve it due to its policy
-you can show appreciation to my posts if it helped or useful by pressing the green Kudo star beside my post that hepled
-if my answer was the solution , so click accept as solution button

Firmware upgrade killed my superdrive

I just installed the new superdrive firmware upgrade using software update, and it killed my superdrive. It does not make any sound (normally it would make a disengaging and engaging sound when rebooting) and I cannot insert a disc (it doesn't pull it in when I try).
My MacBook is 13 months old.
System Profiler says:
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-857:
Firmware Revision: 0009
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RAM, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media: No

I did not try to use my superdrive yet (I am scared after reading all the other messages...), but since I got the new download of firmware last week, every time I turn on the computer, I get the following message: "No Update Devices Found. No devices were found that require this firmware update" and then the option to press "quit" is given...
What is that? I am sure there is something wrong with it. It looks like some of those obscure popups that show up on PCs and nobody knows how to get rid of them.... I hope my Mac does not start behaving like a PC...

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Firmware Upgrade

In her apartment, my elderly mother has an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer, that I set up for her.
It’s hooked up, via WiFi, to her Router that's attached to her Cable Modem.
She doesn't have her own PC. She has only the printer.
When the printer was first purchased, I brought the printer and my Windows XP laptop to her home and installed the printer there.
I email documents to her printer's HP ePrint email address, and I also print web pages to the printer using Google Cloud Print. I do this from my own home, to send her information from the Internet.
An email was received today, saying the following:
"A free firmware upgrade is required to keep your ePrint and associated Print Apps service working. Please go to www.hp.com/go/eprint, download the newest firmware, and continue using your ePrint solution. If you do not complete the upgrade, your ePrint and Print Apps may not work after Hewlett-Packard has finished a service upgrade on 08/07/2013.
Devices requiring the free firmware upgrade are as follows:
HP LaserJet Pro P1100 Series (model HP LaserJet Pro P1102w)”
Is there any way for me to use my Windows XP laptop, to connect to the printer, remotely over the Internet, via the printer's HP ePrint email address, or via the HP Connected account, or in any other way,
and initiate the printer’s firmware upgrade, without leaving my home?
Thank you.

E71 Firmware Upgrade Step-by-Step (Undocumented Ti...

Although Nokia’s firmware upgrade claimed to be smooth using Nokia Suite, the fact it is not. There are many things which could interfere with the process. For example upgrading E71-1 firmware from 100.07.76 to 110.07.127 is not always trouble free. Based on experience, here are precautions to take:
Before you begin:
• Make sure your phone and computer/laptop are fully charged.
• Make your personal data is backed up safely.
• The BEST, FASTEST and EASIEST way of saving your personal data is making a copy of your phone memory on a memory card. Choose Tools > Memory > Options > Back up Phone Memory and wait until it will be competed.
• Make sure Nokia PC Suite is not running.
Upgrade Process Instructions:
1. Download and install latest “NokiaSoftwareUpdater” http://europe.nokia.com/A4579163 .Reboot if required.
2. Disable Antivirus or any other interrogative software on your PC.
3. Launch “NokiaSoftwareUpdater” and follow instructions
4. When prompted, connect your phone, in this case E71.
5. A 3-step process will start, identifying your phone, downloading latest firmware and upgrading to latest firmware. (a process of 15 min.)
Following those instructions will ensure a hassle-free upgrade.
Good luck.

I have a related issue on my E71-3 (New Zealand). Since moving to Firmware 501.21.001 contacts I have in 1-touch keep dropping off - not all, just the odd one here & there. In addition, the group ring tones for the same contacts are dropping off. Very odd. Most frequently it is my partners number impacted, which is why the issue stands out to me ... On start up, I'm now getting a message saying not all applications can be loaded from the memory card - on checking app manager, they are all loaded ... Anyone else having these issues?
iPhone 4 is looking more & more tempting by the day ;-p

This is part of the message since you cannot post such a long message in posting.
This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.
To: Creative Labs Asia Customer Support <[email][email protected]][email protected][/url]>Subject: Re: CLA (CTL) - Technical Support Request - (MuVo TX FM) (KMM7755874I6636L0KM)Dear,I know the solution long time already. I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free? I am not so sure...since my player was not for free too...Best Regards,PeterPS: The product is still within the "police period" of my dealer. And I did not just buy the product.

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

Memory vs. Processor upgrade? Processor upgrade requires OS 9?

I have a Power Mac G4 QS with a 733 MHz processor and 640 MB of RAM. I plan to use it mainly for video editing, and was thinking about upgrading the processor or RAM or perhaps both. My first question is, should I should upgrade just one (processor OR memory) or both?
My second question requires a bit of explaining. I've already installed all of the software I will be using before realizing that this computer didn't have a version of OS 9 installed (I'm running 10.3.8, I think; I'm actually not on that computer at the moment, so I can't check). I've read that in order to perform a processor upgrade, you have to run a firmware upgrade that only works in OS 9.2.2, so I was wondering, how add OS 9 on to the computer without messing up my OS and/or wiping out all of the software I've already installed?
(Yes, I'm a Mac newbie, at least as far as installation goes.)
Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 733 Mac OS X (10.3.8) 640 MB RAM, 40 GB HD

Hi,
CPU's:
This processor is available, it does NOT need a manufacturers Firmware installed. It is also a dual processor and will work very well for video processing. This is a bargain, very fast too.
http://www.yourmacstore.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=548
This dual processor needs manufacturer's Firmware installed but does NOT need Mac OS 9.2 for the install. It starts the Mac from a Disk and installs the Firmware for it, simple - just follow directions.
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/MAXG48D1700/
•••Only Sonnet upgrades still require you to boot into Mac OS 9.2.2 for the Firmware install.
Memory:
The prices are down right now, you can get a stick of 512MB RAM for $59, see this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/133SD512328/
The above are some places to look at CPU's and memory. The first CPU and two sticks of 512MB RAM for a total of less than $600 will make your QS quite fast.
That seems a good deal to me, if you like the computer you currently have.
The new computer is always an option.
Regards,
Dave
