E63 Software Update (UK) problem

Hello
I received my E63 last Wednesday, it set up very easily including connecting to my home wi-fi.
I was unable to connect to the internet via Orange (PAYG) after calling them & visiting one of their shops I went to my local Nokia repairer (Fonebox, Birkenhead).  They were extremely helpful & after not being able to manually set up the connection they advised I needed a software update.
I left the phone & collected it later, however, the keyboard had corrupted & it was no longer using UK characters (eg a full stop was an 'a' with an accent).  They reloaded the software, carried several other procedures & made calls. In the end the only way forward was to wipe the whole software & reinstall the official Nokia software. This was done & the problem persisted!!!
So after having the phone for just 3 days my phone has been returned to Nokia, mechanically my phone is apparently fine but their software appears to have a problem. Beware any other UK users if internet access via your operator is important to you then think carefully before accepting a software update.

Bad luck with your E63
It sounds to me like your repairers simply did not have the correct software for your phone, and applied a different region's software by mistake.  Perhaps something else went wrong; maybe the product code or some other identifier became corrupted, or the phone's firmware area was damaged, but it sounds very much as if they did not have the official Nokia software in the first place.
As an aside, if you bought your E63 new from Nokia then I doubt it would require a software update to connect to the internet via GPRS -- the earliest UK E63 software I'm aware of works fine with the Orange and T-Mobile PAYG SIMs I tried, the phone automatically establishing the connection settings for both.  You seem to have been let down by both Orange and Fonebox on this occasion (but then Orange don't carry the E63 so I suspect their support will have been a little wary of it!)
Best of luck with the replacement.  In future, you might want to try Nokia's own system for installing service settings, using the 'Settings Wizard... Operator' menu (in the 'Help' or 'Tools' folder, I forget).  There's also a service on the Nokia website where you can enter your operator and phone number, and receive service settings by SMS (but I can't find its URL, sorry).
If your SIM doesn't support these things, you should probably try asking Orange for an upgrade to your "profile", or a new SIM: I had to do both of these things at different points some years ago, to allow me to use GPRS and various other services. They're a bit reluctant to hand out replacement SIMs, but I've always been able to persuade them it's in their interest to allow me to spend money on their new services!

  • Using the software update created problems

    Ok so I bought Leopard and upgraded from Tiger, then updated using the software update. Now I have a whole bunch of problems. My Apple Works is now missing, the program is just gone. All my Adobe programs now give me the error of Incompatible with current OS or some Your Licensing is not working error. I have a whole load of Adobe programs that should be working, like Contribute CS 3 and Photo Shop and Illustrator and Designer and so on. All of which worked under the 4.11 and the 5.1 OSes but now no longer work. This isn't even touching on the elimination of the Classic environment which i have a lot of programs that will cost way too much money to buy again for the new OS.
    Anybody know how to get back Apple Works and how to get the Adobe products running again?

    First set of problems, I had two software packaged programs go missing. Totally erased from the system. iWeb and Apple Works.
    This would not happen after a software update, unless the directory got damaged somehow*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    That would give the machine a difficult time trying to find files on the computer.
    Next set of problems my external firewire drive stopped being seen from the system.
    This most commonly happens if a Firewire hard drive does not have the proper firmware to be used with the operating system in question. This is one reason most people recommend dismounting and disconnecting all third party devices before applying updates. This used to be a more common problem with 10.3, but not out of the realm of experience of people with 10.5.
    The next most common cause is the clock battery dying, but not quite dead. Replacing it can fix that problem as well.
    I should say that my system consists of several computers networked together.
    I would have completely disconnected the computers before applying the update.
    I can take my external firewire back up time machine drives and connect them to a PC and see the data. But my macs do not even recognise them, they don't even show up when plugged in.
    This is further evidence the firmware on the hard drive was not yet updated for compatibility with the operating system.
    Third set of problems, all the apple install disks became unreadable by my system.
    This can be commonly caused by a dying optical drive, or bad permissions on the system, or a dying clock battery.
    Fourth set of problems, all the Adobe programs became un-useable and returned errors. Adobe has been working with me on this and have been far more helpful than Apple has been.
    That's a case of corrupt files, or files which were migrated from another system. Migration that is done improperly from a PowerPC to an Intel system may create issues with powerpc plugins on an Intel Mac. If your hard drive got over 85% full and/or the directory was damaged for any reason (especially forced reboots), that can also trigger such a reaction during an update.
    Fifth set of problems just recently discovered, all my stored movies, music and podcast in iTunes is gone.
    This is usually due to a directory issue, but can also be a dying hard drive issue.
    Sounds like you have multiple symptoms pointing towards a few common possible causes. Directory damage, and clock battery malfunctioning, and needing a better firmware on your Firewire hard drive case. Replacing the hard drive case with a compatible one is simple enough. http://www.macsales.com/ makes the right cases. I would not go with LaCie, Western Digital, or Seagate cases. Western Digital and Seagate internal hard drives are fine in of themselves. Replace the MyBook hard drive cases with http://www.macsales.com/ cases and same with the LaCies.
    I have Apple TV and EYE TV and a Midi interface box attached to my G5 mac. My G5 is the one that lost Apple Works and iWeb.
    Remove the Midi interface box. It may help things work better.
    My systems have the super drive on them and I have virtual PC and Softwindows installed.
    Softwindows barely works if at all under Classic, and VirtualPC only works with version 7.0.2 under Leopard. If you got an earlier version working under Leopard you were lucky. You really needed to migrate to a supported emulator under Leopard listed on my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    It says you didn't research your options well enough before upgrading to Leopard. This has been well documented in the forums before this.
    Booted up from the Norton disks and repaired disk.
    This is the biggest flaw in your plans, which caused ALL your problems. Norton is not compatible with any version of Mac OS X. It eats directories for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Only Alsoft Disk Warrior is safe and only after a data recovery attempt with Prosoft Data Rescue II, Subrosasoft Filesalvage, or Boomerang's Boomerang. We have constantly harped on the forums here that Norton is damaging to data. This has been known about since Mac OS X came out. It has even been called "Norton Kevorkian" by some.
    You can't blame Apple for this. Your lack of research and lack of asking in the right places at the right time led to your failures.

  • Software update install problem

    Hello, I read about the EFI update problems and did my research on other updates as well, however I didn't find answer to my problem. After Software update checked for new updates (and there was about ten of them, because I did't do any updates for the past moth), I downloaded them and when I chose instal, the program quit uexpectedly. I tried this several times, but got the same message every time. i would be very glad if you could help me ay way. Thaks in advance.

    Anyone got any ideas?

  • Software Update permissions problem

    Ok, I'm trying to do the latest software update, but it's telling me:
    The update... could not be verified and expanded correctly.
    Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again.
    I've done all the things listed on this page:
    http://www.macosx.com/content/faq.php/q12571/Permissions-Error.html
    with the exception of booting from the install disk and repairing the disk.
    Here's what the console says:
    2006-03-06 20:39:17.930 Software Update[416] Error verifying file with signature /tmp/SoftwareUpdate.dS17xs/signature
    2006-03-06 20:39:17.934 Software Update[416] session:itemDidFail:SecUpd2006-001Pan-1.0 (Make sure you have permission to write to /tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate, then try again.)
    Any ideas short of repairing the disk with the install cd? I have them packed away and I'd have to dig them out, that's why I haven't already.
    Could it be a corrupted download of the update?
    Powerbook 1Ghz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    The message "Error verifying file with signature" implies (to the best of my knowledge) that the download is corrupted. However, I am not totally convinced that that is really the problem. This message has shown up at different times for other users and it has never been very clear what the problem is. (There might be multiple problems which can give this message.) Anyway, repairing your disk would be a good thing to try. Another possibility would be to go directly to Apple's software download site and get the Security Update. See if that installs. If not, can you get the download on another computer, preferably with a different internet connection? If so, copy the .dmg file onto a flash drive or a disk and then transfer to the computer with the problem. See if you can install that .dmg file.
    If none of these works, post back - there are more things to try.

  • Nokia C7 (059D0B0) software update package problem...

    Hi,
    I was helping my aunt to update her C7 (RM-675) model. I tried to help her by installing the PR1.2 update first through SW Update as it showed up there. I managed to download the file with size of almost 7000kb through Wi-Fi on the phone.
    When the phone requested for a restart, the screen went white and a word "Updating" showed up. However, within ten seconds, there's a message showing "Restarting the phone" on the white screen.
    Phone booted into the homescreen and a message popped out saying "Phone not updated. The software package is not compatible with your phone. Please check with your local service provider".  
    That didn't make me give up. I went to try again using USB connection to Nokia OVI Suite. The system checked there's an update of PR1.2 and I chose to update it. At first, the system requested for a phone backup and so I waited for it to finish backing up the phone. Later, I downloaded the PR1.2 software update with the file size of 175mb. When finished downloading, there's an error message showing up "Something went wrong". The system suggested me to restart the Nokia OVI Suite and then after several attempts, I couldn't detect the updates anymore. The result returned with "No updates available".
    I went to try my luck on *#0000# and check for updates. I could detect v22.014 update was available for download with the file size of 25000kb+. Again, I finished downloaded it and phone requested for a restart and it took me to the white screen and the same word "Updating" appeared on the screen again. I thought this time finally I could update to Symbian Anna. Within ten seconds, the phone got rebooted and went to the homescreen again showing up with the same message of  "Phone not updated. The software package is not compatible with your phone. Please check with your local service provider". 
    The phone product code was 059D0B0. She bought this phone in Malaysia from a local dealer.
    I checked the product code variant and this variant is from Spain, I wondered? The latest update for this variant is only 014.002 which I checked on the Nokia official website and still I could detect Symbian Anna update on OTA on the phone. Can the person in charge please check what is wrong with the situation that I'm having? BTW, we're from Malaysia.
    Thank you very much.
    Bernard

    I also had problems with the upgrade to Symbian Anna.
    My carkit didn't work, telephone went off and on frequently, etc.
    Nokia helpcenter told me that my carkit should be upgraded with
    new firmware and that had to try to reinstall Symbian Anna.
    I tried to reinstall Symbian Anna a few times but nothing worked.
    Now I solved the problem!!!!!
    - Make a backup of your files, pics, video's, etc.
    - Put your phone back in the factory settings
    - sofware update via Wifi or LAN
    - Installs Symbian Anna 1/2 en 2/2
    EVERYTHING WORKS FINE NOW!!!!  also my carkit......
    applause for Nokia helpcenter.............NOT!!!!
    It will only take about 10 minutes to configure your telephone
    and maybe some stuff from your backup.
    Tip: put as much as you can on the extra memory card,
    I think most you have it in your phone.

  • Software update group problem on Primary SUP

    Hi All
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue it is related to SUP
    We have an environment of a CAS and a Primary Site ( I know not an ideal situation ;-))
    We have the SCCM 2012 Sp1 version with no CU update.
    We have two separate SUPS installed at separate servers one connected to the CAS site and one connected to the Primary site.
    The one connected to the CAS site connects to the internet and the one connected to primary sync’s with the other one.
    Everything works perfect but after the implementation of the new updates from the month April we have some problems.
    When I connect to the CAS site with the configuration manager console every update in the software update group have a green icon ( some are superseded and have an orange icon) and the updates all have the status of downloaded Yes and deployed Yes.
    When I connect to our primary site with the configuration manager console some updates in the same update group (as mentioned above) have a red icon and have the status of deployed yes and downloaded NO.
    Strange !!!
    I created a new update group and new package downloaded all updates again and the same thing happens as above.
    The updates KB2837579 , KB2553444 , KB973688 , KB2687567 are correct when I connect to the CAS but when I connect to the Primary they have status downloaded NO. Al other updates 150 are correct on both sites.
    There is no problem with the Sync between the SUPs when I check Software Update Point Sync status and wsyncmgr.log.
    I am lost in this one I hope someone can help me with this .or can help me where to troubleshoot
    regards
    Johan

    Yes, even I've seen these kind of issues several times even after CM12 R2 upgrade. I had these issues normally (ONLY) with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 server patches. It seems to me like when you DON'T have Win XP and Windows Server 2003 machines
    in Primary server DB then we're facing this issue. But I'm not very sure. This is just a thought.
    Primary server CM12 console - When you look at software update group or Package then in the “summary” there would one or more  patches show as “not downloaded” 
    But when you take a look at the properties of the patch and look at  “Content information”, it says downloaded = yes

  • Software Update, Airport Problem

    (This is my first visit in the forum so please bear with me if I make mistakes... I also may need to mention that I am an experienced Apple user but neither a tech geek nor an expert)
    Yesterday, working on my MacBook I got a software update and I clicked yes, update please (10.5.8). After the update was completed I didn't have internet access any more. The computer didn't find the Airport Extreme station any more. I checked all settings, they were fine. I restarted the computer, restarted the airport station, eventually I reset and reconfigured the airport station, to no avail. I took the airport station to the Apple store, they checked it and said it is ok, it might be a problem with my computer. I brought the computer to the Apple store, they checked it and said it's ok. Then one of the guys suggested a firmware update for the airport station. They did that and told me everything is fine now.
    Back home I connected everything, it looked (and looks) fine, the airport station was found, the green status light is on, but when I start Safari I cannot open one single site, I also cannot receive any mail. I checked with my internet provider, both the line and the DSL modem are ok. If I connect my computer by cable to the modem I can get internet access and mail by PPPoE. I cannot get a connection via airport. This is not only true for my MacBook but for any other machine I tried including the iPod touch.
    I checked all settings, in my opinion they are ok. I had a very experienced friend here yesterday night who checked things and didn't find a way out either.
    PLEASE: Has any of you guys any idea? Your help is appreciated.

    Hi,
    I just wanted to add that I got the same issue. Shutting down completely and then rebooting after a little while seemed to resolve the issue, but it comes back again after a little while.
    Just to add a few more details about the problem: It seems the connection to the wireless router is done properly, and I get an reasonable looking IP address. However no connection to the outside world. Furthermore, when I try to ping my router, the packets take few hundred ms (it should be a few ms at most), and 90% of the packages are lost.
    This is the second update in a row which breaks something. 10.5.7 broken the bluetooth PAN, and 10.5.8 breaks the airport. Nice!!!

  • Software update connection problem

    Another problem that may be related is that iTunes cant connect to the music store.
    Can anyone suggest something for me to try,
    Thanks
    Gambit

    can anyone help please - I have the same problem using airport express or directly connecting to the net via adsl. The Software Ppdate program is the only one that gives me internet connection problem messages, and when i go through the diagnostics it always shows the server unconnected, then connects and then i still cant connect to the net with software update!
    very frustrating ... any solutions greatly appreciated!

  • Software-update network problem

    software-update and App Store cannot connect, though my network and internet are fine.
    Anyone a sollution?

    Well, I solved the problem. In my case it had to do with a tool I have installed called Little Snitch (LS). I updated the version and the problem was solved.
    Reason I did not think of it is that I am very spoiled with the facility in most software these days, of auto-software-update-reminders (don't know how else to call it). this version of LS did not have it ...
    So you might want to check your additional software if it is up to scratch
    this link may be usefull here:

    good luck.
    to me the problem is solved.

  • E63 Software Update has killed phone

    Hello
    My E63 wanted its software updating today, so I went through the process (backing up my contacts etc. first).
    It said that the software update was successful, however when I went to restore the backup it failed. I tried again twice and each time it failed (I'm pretty sure it was during the settings part of the backup that it failed). My phone screen would then only show the time and that it was charging, with some white boxes flickering across the top.
    I then reinstalled the phone software (the phone was working at this point, however obviously it behaved as if it had been through a complete system reset), and then attempted to restore the backup. It failed again and then the option to reinstall the phones software completely disappeared from my computer screen (I have a Windows 7 laptop, and my version of PC Suite says it is up to date).
    Now, when I switch my phone on all I see is the hands image together with "Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer." The phone is currently connected to my computer via USB, however it is not showing up in PC Suite or in My Computer.
    This phone was bought second-hand for me as a gift, as such I only have the phone a charger and a USB cable (i.e. no software disks etc.).
    Before this update attempt it was working fine, and I had no complaints.
    Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards, Matthew

    The Software Recovery Tool (SRT) is trying to recover a Windows 8 phone, and is not giving me an option to select a different operating system.
    I press continue anyway, and it waits for a phone connection. It doesn't detect a connection (I have tried with the phone off, and with the phone on with the holding hands and "contact the retailer" sign showing).
    Next it asks me to hold down the Power and Volume Down keys until the phone vibrates. I have done this by pressing the Power and Left/Down on the central pad (I tried them separately, as both of these can be used to control the volume I believe - the E63 doesn't have a dedicated volume control).
    So far, with the Function key, Left central pad key and Power key pressed down the phone boots in to the main menu (office / media / settings etc.). I'm asked to "Select USB Mode", and so far I have only chosen PC Suite (I'm not sure if that is correct or not).
    I've then hit OK on the SRT screen, however it still does not detect a connection, and takes me back to asking for the Power and Volume Down buttons to be pressed.
    Once in the main menu on the phone I have also tried opening PC Suite on my computer, to see if that registers that the phone is there (it doesn't, despite going through the inital connection process).
    When I exit out of the menu screen to the home screen, I can see the time the date and the fact that it's charging only. The calendar still opens from the relevant soft key, but contacts doesn't seem to (this may have something to do with the fact that I removed the SIM in case that was wiped during this process?).
    In the Settings menu there is "General > Factory settings", however as I say the phone is second hand and I don't know the lock code (there is a very slim chance I may be able to get it - the previous owner never removed their emails - but it is as I say a slim chance).
    ...I hope that this helps you in some way?

  • Software Update Wizard Problem

    I'm trying to update the software on my N80 but the wizard keeps failing to work. I keep getting this message:

    I have tried several times but I get the same message each time. Any help to solve this is much appreciated.

    I think your installation file is corrupted. Please download again and try. This time when you download, select N73 and click next and download the app. Although you have N80, do this. Cuz I've heard some people say, that N80 link is corrupted. The N73 will download the same thing. So its compatible with any N series phone.

  • Help!! 10.4.7/ software update/ install problem

    I am stuck on 10.4.7.
    Software update does not pick up any new software (10.4.8/ iTunes 7.0.1/ Quicktime 7.13 etc).
    When I try installing using the standalone installers, the software will not install with various error messages ("this volume does not meet the requirements for this update", "you are not allowed to install this software on this volume for an unknown reason").
    Using the "repair disk" feature booting off the cloned drive doesn't do anything.
    I cannot boot off the Tiger DVD or the Techtool deluxe CD (a "no entry" sign appears after a while).
    Trying to boot off a Tiger DVD image on the cloned firewire drive (using disk utility restore feature) doesn't work either.
    I can boot off the cloned drive, but again the software updates dont get installed with the same error messages.
    So I cant do an erase and install on the harddrive. All the software runs perfectly but without being able to do an erase and install, the computer will become unusable if things start playing up.
    Anyone got any ideas what is going on?
