E61 firmware update problem - Chinese language los...

I have a E61 which reads and writes English and Simplified Chinese characters. The product code is 0529664 and apparently it was for English and Spanish languages. The English/Chinese language pack was apparently flashed by a third party in Beijing.
After updating the new firmware yesterday, the phone reverts back to English/Spanish. My phone now is essentially a piece of brick living in China!!!
Anyone having a genuine English/Chinese version (identified by a Chinese character "Zhong" on the "Car" key at lower left coner of keyboard) kindly tell me the product code (just below the IMEI code, on the sticker in the battery compartment ) so that I can buy a new E61 with right product code.
Alternatively can someone who has done it tell me how to install a Chinese language pack.
Many thanks,

Firmware update problem solved after Win XP SP3 -upd

I'm one of the numerous victims of ZEN firmware updating problem. At the start I had Win XP SP2 and WMP. My player is ZEN Micro 5gb and after trying to update firmware it had firmware problem and stayed in the recovery mode. Firmware updater and ZEN Media Explorer couldn't recognize the player. So that's how I got it work again:
1. Rolled back WMP to WMP9, updated it to WMP0.
2. Removed ZEN Media Explorer and Jukebox driver (all Creative stuff) from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.
It didn't solve the problem. I also tried my player with couple of other computers, but it didn't help either.
3. Installed Win XP SP3 -update.
4. Reinstalled driver for ZEN Micro in Control Panel.
5. Ran the firmware updater and this time it did recognize the player.
(6. Updated WMP back to version and the player's still working.)
Hope this will help you too.

I can start the upgrading process, but at around 95% it stops, and says "firmware upgrade failed." I didn't uninstall WMP though, because I have Vista, and I hae no idea how to do it. I can only get my computer to recognize my 6G Zen when I go into recovery mode and choose 'reload firmware' then I connect it to the computer and I can start trying to upgrade it. If I dont go into recovery mode, its just a blank screen, the computer doesnt recognize it, and I can't even turn it off without reseting.
?I've tried so much, now when I try to upgrade, it loads a little bit and jumos to the end quckly and says "firmware upgrade fails" and nothing works. Do I have to try to do all the things you listed to fix this?

Xcode and firmware update problem

Hi all,
i've been working on my app for a few month now and i have about two more weeks until i finally submit it. everything went very good during development.. untill -
by ACCIDENT i've upgraded my firmware to 3.1.2
since my OS is 10.5.7, as i understand, i must install xcode 3.2.1. but this version also needs mac OS 10.6
so it's realy frustrating for me...
do i need now to upgrade/purchase OS 10.6 and also my xcode environment in order to continue working ?
can't i make a rollback to other firmware version supported by my current 3.1.2 xcode ?
i've searched the net endlessly and just couldn't find anyway to downgrade my firmware (i have a 5.11.7 baseband and 6.2 bootloader)
please...
any help ?

GRe: Zen 8G This device cannot start code 0 and firmware update problem?Hello Tbg99,
Welcome to Creative forums!
Try booting the player in the recovery mode.
. While the ZEN is off, press and hold down the play/pause button.
2. While holding down the play/push button, push the reset button slowly using a paper clip/pin. You should feel the "click" sound when press it.
3. Slide the On/Off switch towards the power button and hold it down until the recovery boot screen appears.
Choose Clean Up then Reboot. If problem still persists, you may need to format the ZEN but take note that formatting will delete the contents of the device. To format the ZEN, boot the ZEN in the recovery mode again and choose Format this time.

Zen 8G This device cannot start code 10 and firmware update problem

I have read the threads in the forums on the same problem that I am having. It seems that there are few solutions for this and the ones that have been posted I have tried. Basically the problem is this, I made the silly mistake of trying to update the firmware on my Zen 8G since it was listed as a critical update. I downloaded the firmware but it failed and took me to the recovery screen. Instead of working with this, again silly me, I tried to use the Creative recovery tool. This downloaded the firmwary and started rebooting the player. At this point it just hung. I left it on for about 3 hours and nothing happened and it wouldn't turn off so I hit the reset button on the player. Now when I connect it to the computer it recognizes it as a creative zen but if I try to download the firmware the software says the player is not connected when it is. When I check the device driver, even though it shows it as a creative zen it says "This device cannot start code 0"? I have the latest Microsoft device driver loaded and it still doesn't work.
I have tried this on two different computers, one using XP and the other using Vista. I get the same problem with each. It appears to me that the problem is not really with the device driver but somehow with the firmware. However, I am not an expert at this stuff.
If anyone could please help I would appreciate it. This was a gift for my wife for the Christmas of 2007 so it is just out of warranty and the service people won't help.

Firmware Update and Native Language

Dear all, I have recently purchased a E61 (what a beauty) in Taiwan. It was pre-installed with the native language of Traditional Chinese. I found out that there was a firmware update available for my phone via the Europe Nokia website (interestingly enough, the Chinese Nokia PC Suite pointed me to that website). I am now reluctant to update my phone, because I have no way to find out if this update will erase the Chinese language software on my phone. I am not sure if the language files are part of the firmware or not. Is there a way to find out? Thank you.
Best wishes,
fuigo

That depends on the "product code" of your phone. It's a 7-digit number that's printed on the label inside your phone, usually starts with "05*****".
If you post that number here, someone may be able to tell you what languages it includes (e.g. what languages were in it when it left the Nokia factory.)
(IMHO, Nokia should make these public and show them on their website.)
These go to eleven.

E61 Firmware update

I've a Nokia E61 product code 0537308 with firmware version 2.**** and I've noticed that a new version (3.0633.09.04) is available. So I've installed the Nokia updater software, made a complete backup of the phone and started to update the firmware of the phone.
Everything went fine until a certian moment the Nokia updater software start complaining that the SIM card was not inserted and give a update failure requesting to insert the SIM card while the SIM card is still in the phone.
Can this be caused by the fact that the SIM 'PIN code request' is on so everytime the phone is switched on the PIN code is requested. Do I have to put this off when a firmware update is performed?
Can someone help me please?
Thanks

Thanks for the responses
As predicted O2 were of no help at all (bear in mind O2 is just a brand for carphonewarehouse)
I dont understand how nokia can provide a firmware update using the Nokia Software Udatater tool and then have it restricted so O2 users can't download the latest. What makes O2 so special (or not in this case) the phones are the same are they not?
Juding by the other forum topics on the same subject I am not the only one suffering the same lack of support.
I went back to my Sony Ericsson in October due to the lack of support....maybe Nokia should start to take ownership of this problem and put pressure on O2 rather than relying on users to do that job from them because O2 is not an easy company to get a repsonse from (although the operator did at least try), they pointed me at carphone warehouse who in turn pointed me to O2...... and so the cycle goes on.
Shame really as the phone as a unit is quite nice, however it's just a nice shiny brick on my desk at the moment ....
Do Nokia read these forums?

E61 Firmware Update 2

There was a thread on when availablility of an E61 software update would be available which appears to have been erroneously locked.
The postings indicated that there was a new official firmware update for the E61.
Can someone confirm if this is correct, and if so what the correct proceedure is to obtain the update is. I am in the UK and am currently finding the WiFi link unusable with my (expensively purchased) phone.
If there is no update at present, can someone indicate when it might be available? One of the main reasons for me to purchase the E61 was for email access with WiFi - one of the main advertising points for the phone. Currently, this is sufficiently unreliable to make the phone unfit for the purpose it was purchased, and I am considering returning the device for a refund because of this if no update is available to address the issues.
Thanks,

Wow! 2 years! Over here in Singapore, Firmware upgrade is only free during the 1-year warranty period. The service centre here is so busy, you often have to queue to take a queue number, and then another queue to be serviced.
Anyway, is there a list of fixes for the firmware update? Or do I have to find out myself. Some of the fixes I have noticed.
1. When pairing with some non-Nokia BT headsets, the automatic setting to the lowest volume problem is solved.
2. Calculator - You no longer has be use the joystick to select the Add, Subtract, Multiply and Divide. Pressing the respective keyboard keys works now. In other words, I can remove Calcium.
3. One pleasant suprise is that the phone configuration no longer disappears when I upgrade the firmware. No need to spend hours reconfiguring the phone all over again.

10.6.8 Macbook Pro firmware update problem

I installed a couple of updates for my MBP 10.6.8. One was Safari, the other was brand new, released within the last week, I think it was a firmware update, and now the machine will not boot into OSX. I have a Bootcamp Windows 7 partition that starts fine. But if I let it boot, or select the Mac partition, it shows the apple logo, then a little progress bar below it that gets to maybe 5-10%, then starts over, then the computer powers down.
I have tried clearing the flash by holding option+command+P+S. Didnt work.
Is there a way I can boot to a command prompt and clear this update out or something? Or anyway to fix this myself? From the Windows partition maybe?

So...fixed my issue and it was not related to the updates, it was just coincidence.
What I finally did was take a video of the startup screen and was able to see that what was happening was fsck was failing, and then the system just halted. This info presumably makes it to dmesg, but not to system.log (huge oversight IMO). So its not easily discerned.
Once I figured that out I googled around and this guy's page helped me fix the problem:
http://blog.jbheren.com/post/2011/02/09/repair-hfs-volume-on-osx
Specifically I had to boot into single user (command+S at the startup sound)
and issue:
fsck_hfs -ypr /dev/rdisk0s2
Then I did
reboot
and here we are

Firmware update problem-- my macbook pro will not start

I think I took my finger off the power button and then put another finger down which turned my macbook pro off when I was installing some kind of firmware update... all I get now is a blank screen but the power button is on and it "feels" like something is going on inside but nothing... can some help? Thanks

I did explain how long to hold down the 'C' key in a previous post. Anyway, you should hold it down until you see the start up screen.
You could have a dirty or even a bad install DVD. If you could try it in another machine that would let you rule that out as a suspect. It's also possible that your DVD drive is damaged or bad. At this point it sounds like a trip to an Apple Store is in order.
Good Luck!! And please post back with your outcome, it might help someone in the same situation.
Edit: Did a little more checking around and found that this may be a common problem as in this other post...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=963645&tstart=330
Could also be related to this...

Either way, like I said above it sounds like a service call is in order.
Again, Good Luck!

Firmware update problem ?

Help !!!!!!
We purchased an eMac about a year ago and just recently decided to upgrade the old 400mhz G3 iMac to OS X 10.2.8, so my wife could use it as a stand alone for design stuff. Problem is that stupid me forgot to upgrade 9.0.4 to 9.1 and do the firmware update. Now we have a machine that won't recognize music CD's at all. I removed 9.0.4 when I installed OS X, because I didn't think we'd need it, now I can't reinstall it.
Questions:
1) Do I have to completely wipe the hard drive and start from scratch ? Install 9.0.4, upgrade to 9.1 or 9.2, perform firmware update, install OS X, updrade to OS X 2, update to OS X 10.2.8 ?
2) If so, how in the name of all that's sainted do I do it ? How do you format the HD to start again ? Can I save the design programs on there, or do I have to do them again ?
3) Is there no firmware update that can just be used with OS X 10.2.8 ?
Many thanks for any help you can give a technophobic ignoramous
Cheers,

1. Only if you erased the hard disk from the Disk Utility without installing the Mac OS 9 drivers. Otherwise, proceed as follows:
1. Insert your iMac's Mac OS 9 installer CD into the drive and restart with the C key held down.
2. Open the folder System:Library:CoreServices on your hard disk and drag the item named System to the desktop.
3. Start installing Mac OS 9.
4. Use the Startup Disk control panel on the CD to set the Mac OS 9 system on the hard disk as the startup disk.
5. Restart your computer, download and run the 9.1 update, restart again, and update the firmware.
6. Select the item named System on the desktop and choose Put Away from the File menu.
7. Download this control panel to your machine and use that to select your Mac OS X system as the startup disk.

Post-Firmware Update Problems--HELP

Several weeks ago I downloaded the Firmware update for my MBP. My MBP had an intermittent history of going to sleep and not waking up. When I ran the update, my MBP crashed and would not reboot. I had to obtain a copy of an original firmware disk from my local Apple dealer and load that in order to get my computer to operate.
Thereafter, using "original" firmware, my MBP had a regular problem with unexpected shut downs. I just got around to re-downloading and installing the recommended firmware update, and I am experiencing the unexpected quits again! Quits occur without regard to battery charge level. Since the update the quits happen within a couple of minutes of use. Before update the quits would happen later than the first couple of minutes of use. These unexpected quits are tethering me to an outlet and making me crazy.
1. Was the firmware update suppose to correct my original problem (not waking from sleep occassionally)?
2. Was the firmware update suppose to correct my new problem (unexpected quits)? If so, why didn't it?
3. Is it possible that the crash several weeks ago caused another software problem that is causing confusion regarding power availability?

I sent my computer in last week with that same problem, and another case issue. They repaired the case and replaced some sensors.
But when I called Apple because I was STILL having unexpected Quits when I got it back, they said the Apple Care technician couldn't duplicate the Quits.
Does anyone think this is a power supply issue? Because when I plugged it in and started it up, it seemed to be okay. Or is it a motherboard issue? It seems to be working now that I've run disk utility from the install cd, and since I've plugged it in. Should I send it back in?

Remote firmware update problems

I am a newbie to our school G5 Xserve and have been just recently updating and getting my feet wet. From the Server Admin program I have come across the firmware update but can't seem to get it to actually run. I have read and tried any and all items I have found around the Apple site to no avail.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93980
Is the doc that I keep referring to but get nowhere.
We are running our Xserve headless and as such no video card or any other of the usual options like keyboard, etc.
The biggest help would be the proper protocol for Terminal on my Powerbook. I am a newbie to Terminal overall, only played a little with it as needed in the past. I have repeatedly read and typed, as well as copied and pasted, Apple's example and get nowhere. Keeps coming back with:
-sh: fg: %: no such job.
I have looked and the updater file is indeed in the Utilities folder on the startup drive as stated by the 93980 doc.
I know I am missing something rather simple. Any kick in the right direction will be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

My Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update problem and slowing problem

Hi, I have Xperia S (LT26i) and i tried to update my phone to 6.2.b.1.96 firmware using PC Companion bu couldn't accomplished. It gave a error after long pressing the volume down button and starting the firmware update process. So i had to turn back to old firmware. Secondly my phone is so slow. Facebook is opening approximately 20-25 secs. and gives "facebook is not responding" messages while using. Same is for telephone and browser. I factory resetted the phone a couple months ago and i dont want to reset the phone regularly. Can you give me an advice? Thanks in advance...

A clean update
Performing a system repair using PC Companion - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

GeForce 7300 Firmware Update problem

When I tried to run the GeForce Firmware update today, I got this message:
"Necessary resources are missing, corrupt, or do not have the correct permissions. Delete the GeForce 7300 GT Firmware Update and re-download it and run it again."
So I delete it, re-download it, and I get the same message. Any thoughts on why this is?

Normally I feel ready and prepared to do any update, always backed up and such, but of course updating firmware is special, whether SMC, EFI, or for a controller (or disk drives).
I held off until now, did the other updates that came out this week, did a Safe Mode restart, and... updated fine.
I do wish something more technical was given for why it is needed or what is changed as a result. I don't like being in the dark.
Do you have a small "emergency" boot drive should also consider creating one (with just Apple software and your disk utilities). Might need it from time to time. And get into the habit of doing some preventative maintenance.

Firmware update problem with raid mirrored drives and solution

Note this - the firmware update will not install from a software mirrored boot drive. It will install just fine from a non-mirrored clone. So, make a clone, set it as your boot drive from system preferences, and all is good.

Well this is a pain, this is what I figured I would have to do but c'mon apple, I am sure people are not going want to hassle with making a clone, finding or buying a single drive to install the OS to, boot that drive, install the firmware patch, reboot, make sure it took, tear down the system, swap the soft-RAID set of drives back in etc. etc. etc.
This is another reason why Apple need to take note from the PC world, I know they like to "Think Different" when it comes to things like this but they really need to give access to and write a driver for the supported on-chip hardware RAID controller located in the Motherboards Southbridge chip of THIS motherboard, just like all other woodcrest Xeon based systems running the same intel motherboard chipset!
I am sure this post will get me a long list of flames from the Apple fanboys explaining how what Apple is doing is really better, or telling me that if I want hardware RAID 5 to just go and buy $6000 xServe RAID setup.
Well I better quit typing so I can tear apart my system, find a hard drive to install OSX on.....See you guys in a few hours
