E71 firmware update via infrared, internet or blue...

It is IMPOSSIBLE connecting my E71-2 via USB to windows.
I need to upgrade the firmware, is there a way of doing it without USB?

Hi,
I didn't have any problems with the phone. It's just when I originally got the phone about a year ago I was enthusiatic about updating the firmware as this had solved many problems on my previous N73 but I couldn't find an update. I had thought that a pre-emptive strike was in order before I started to use the phone.
Having become used to the E71, I really like it, I thought I'd check to see if a software update was available as it hadn't been when I first had the phone.
The only problems I've had weren't really phone specific e.g. the positioning server for the assisted-gps needed changing and I had to buy Adobe Reader LE 2.5 to be able to usefully read documents i.e. word re-flow and large file sizes and was so greatful that Opera released mini beta 5 - excellent.
When I upgrade firmware on a PC you always get a chance to backup the original just in case things don't work out so you can get back to a working state. This doesn't seem to apply in the World of mobile phones. When you update firmware on a PC it doesn't stop programmes from working.
During the update process you are asked to ensure that your memory card is not encrypted or locked. Not very clear. It would be much better if you were warned to un-install security programmes, then backup, then update, then restore, then re-install security programmes. It would be truely wonderful if you could backup or download the original firmware just in case or make an image of the phones present state so that this could be replaced intact if necessary.
Does anything like that exist for the S60 platform?
Thank you.

Camera firmware update via USB thru ImageBrowser EX?

Hello everyone!
I recently made my first ever Canon camera in the history of the universe (Powershot SX280 HS) and it's amazing.
I have a question, though, about firmware updates.
When I launch ImageBrowser EX, and click on the button to "update to latest version" with my camera connected to my computer via USB, does this update the firmware too? Or does this only update ImageBrowser EX?
I understand that updating the firmware requires me to download a file from my product's support page and manually installing it using a memory card. But I was wondering if updating through USB is also possible.
Thoughts?
Thanks for reading this message.

I am pretty sure you have to do it the way Canon tells you to in its documentation on the support page for the 280, i.e. copying the firmware file to a card in a card reader. There is no mention of ImageBrowser in the documentation. Updating via ImageBrowser is probably just for the browser software on your computer. Most things can be done via USB but updating firmware is usually a pretty rare thing except for this particular model camera which has seen two updates so far and I wish would see another (since I too am verging on returning it to the store before my 30 days are up, the day after I get home from vacation). The issues improved with the updates but are still there (see very long thread about battery issues in this forum).

E71 Firmware Update on 3..

Has anyone been able to update the E71 firmware on the 3 mobile network....?
I'm on 100.07.76, but the updater states there is no new firware beyond this..!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

psychomania: thanks for clarifying this -- I couldn't figure out why people were talking about later versions when the updater said there were none available!
please forgive my ignorance, but when you say "3", do you mean http://www.three.co.uk/Home? why does nokia need their approval? Is it because it is a network branded phone?
thanks!

How to obtain software and firmware updates via CD

Hello Forum!
Because I don't have broadband, I was wondering if Apple mails a CD w/ software and firmware updates.
I need the following updates according to Apple:
Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 5.0
Airport Extreme 2007 1.0
iPhoto update 6.0.6
Battery update 1.2
Superdrive firmware update 2.1
iTunes 7.3
Mac OS X update combo. 10.4.10
Thanks,
Ryoichi

Apple does not usually provide updates via CDs to individuals. However, if you were to pop down to the Cincinnati Apple store with a blank CD, they'd probably help you get the updates. Or you could just use their own free Wi-Fi network to download the updates directly to your MacBook.

Xperia Z2 Firmware Update via PC Companion = FAIL!

I appologize if this is a duplicate post. I searched the forum before posting but it seemed similar posts weren't exactly the same issue(s) I'm experiencing.
I'm getting the notification that there is a firmware update for my Xperia Z2 tablet but that I am required to use PC Companion to download/install it. However, for some reason PC Companion refuses to detect that my tablet is connected. I've tried multiple usb ports and two different computers. Under device manager it doesn't show any device driver issues and the usb drivers are installed and up-to-date. However I constantly run into error message after error message. The tablet is set to MTP mode and connected via the included Sony usb cable. I've followed every wizard, prompt, guide, etc. but in the end PC Companion still says there's no phone/tablet connected. Would be so much easier if it would just download the update to the tablet like EVERY other android device I own does.

Did you take a look at this?

E71 Firmware Update Fixes

Just wanted some input in regards to what issues need to be resolved within the first update, excluding the RF reception, I think we all want that fixed ASAP...
I have never heard of reception issues being fixed from a firmware issue, but maybe they could do something within the OS that would hold the dual mode signal better.
Any ideas or thoughts on what the E71 needs to make it almost perfect?

Guys, how about consider dropping your E71s to the trashbin, and switch to devices like N95, N82 etc.? E71 was NEVER designed to be a multimedia-monster, hence it would NEVER make you happy in that area. Take it or leave it, that's life. And please stop putting here all those silly requests, as I believe this thread is about firmware *bugfixes*, not a feature wishlist (which would never be implemented anyway). I'm way more concerned about correct IMAP support (one of the core features of E71, btw), than camera quality which I'm never bothered about anyway. If I was bothered about camera quality, I'd get myself N95 or SE K850i, or anything like this. I advise you guys the same.
isnt improper color rendering is a bug that needs to get fixed? i think that even a email/business phone should try to capture the images it takes with some semblance of accuracy. a TV out is usefull for presentations too.

Are you able to send and recieve MMS messages?
If not it sounds like you packet data and MMS settings are not present in the handset
Who is your network provider?
If the settings are not in your handset you will be best directed at your network operators website, to obtain the settings. There used to be a WGSglobal settings service from Nokia on the Nokia support site but it is no longer available, most operators now link to their own version, and its the operators settings that you need, so go to their site and search for "Get settings" or such like
Examples:
Orange UK http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/selfservice/index.jsp
O2 UK http://getsettings.o2.co.uk/ServeSettingsWebApp/
Vodafone UK http://preview.tinyurl.com/cxdlwd
From those pages you can get the settings for those providers you will need to find your operators version.
Have you an unlocked SIM free Generic E71?
The phone should detect the SIM - try running the settings wizard in the handset to provision these.

Firmware update via Java/USB/PCSuite?

Hi@all:
Lets say Nokia solved some bugs on the N95.
Is it possible to update that new firmware via PC?
For example: I have Nokia Version "N95-1". And then there is the new updated version "N95-2".
Will it be possible to update the N95 with PC Suite OR do I have to send my N95 to the Nokia Service Center?
If it is possible, WHY are some people waiting to buy a N95??? They could buy it now and upgrade it anytime via PC Suite! OR?
Thanks in adv.
DeltaMessage Edited by delta458 on 14-Apr-200707:47 PM

The short answer is yes, many are updated that way. But not yet, if you keep checking on the Nokia software updater page you will see many updateable phones but not as yet the N95, I'd imagine as soon as an update is made available the N95 will be supported in this way.

E71 Firmware Update (200.21.118) - Possible Issue ...

For those of you who ignore the pre-update warning about removing the Memory Card Password, you may discover that the password you set is no longer working...
Sadly you'll only discover this after you've updated your E71, so there's no way to access it without the correct password...
I, rather foolishly, thought I knew better, and being 100% confident of the password, didn't remove it...
Boy was I wrong...
Thankfully Psycho here suggested I try the "Remote Lock" password that I'd set previously, and that worked first time...
So if you've set the Remote Lock - try that as the password to your memory card
Thanks again Psycho

Best way to go about this is to make a backup via the nokia pc suite and then run the nokia software updater... the warranty is still valid as it is an authorised and common way to upgrade your nokia.. if you have any concens or dont feel up to updating it yourself you could always visit your local nokia service center

Please be patient as it could be an issue with your service provider. If you are with O2, they are currently experiencing technical issues with their service.

Nokia 1200 firmware update via NSU

Lets say if i already have Nokia 1200 data cable..
Can i update its firmware via NSU?
Can NSU detect the phone?
Message Edited by mono_demon on 27-May-2008 07:59 AM

No, the 1200 is too basic to be supported by the NSU. None of the budget 1xxx or 2xxx models can be updated in this way.
It can only be updated at a nokia care point.

Install firmware update without simultaneous internet connection

I use a USB modem for internet service. Airport Utility want both air port connectivity and internet connectivity. I therefore can't install the update. Is there a way around this ?

Unfortunately the only way is to be connected to the internet. If you are near an  store you can take it in, I'm sure they will be happy to update it for you.
