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

    I have following problesm:
    1. Even When I am standing next to the Wifi Access Point the E71 will say that there is no WLAN Available. (However while doing the SCAN, my laptop which uses the same WLAN Network works, fine.
    2. After the upgrade of the firmware - I am unable to use the GPRS/EDGE from my operation - as I have unlimited data plan.
    I HAVE DONE A COMPLETE FACTORY Reset as well - but nothing helps. This problem was NOT there before the Firmware Upgrade.
    Any Help will be greatly appreciated.

    any solution there please tell me
    i'm kinda tired of my nokia e71
    I believe the only solution would be to downgrade to the previous firmware and wait till new one will come.
    Strange, no replies from Nokia people at all. Looks like they don't care about this forum...
    Can anybody comment is that confirmed problem and does Nokia work on it or not?

  • E71 firmware upgrade problems

    Hi,
    when I want start my firmware upgrade (today 100.07.76 - Vodafone branded) to the actual one via NSU, it stops always ~60 MB. Tried many things already, everything is up-to-date from Nokia and PC with XP.
    Any ideas ?

    It should not be anything to do with branding if the update starts downloading, if the branding was an issue you wouldn't even get acces to the update.
    There are conflicting stories about Nokia service points and debranding. It can only be done if the phone has had any SIM lock officially removed by the network, and the service point may in some cases ask for a letter from the operator stating their approval for the action to be taken. Service points are not required to offer this service and so may not do, and if they do it will be at your cost.

  • E71 firmware upgrade for A1 network - Nokia unable...

    Hi,
    Nokia, please make firmware v210 available to product code 0570359.
    i have an E71, use it heavily in business and have standardized our company on it and need to upgrade it to v210 firmware, because the v100 is so buggy. i had 7 email interactions with nokia support and a1 support but both point the finger to each other and are of no help. so the last option is to use the forum, before i feel forced to switch my company over to the iPhone because of lack of nokia software support and upgrades.
    the network provider A1.net says they have accepted firmware 200.21.118 already last year and informed Nokia in December 2008 to release v200 for this product code 0570359. A1 even says they have reconfirmed now again that the acceptance of the firmware has reached nokias support team. but when I check the nokia updater and the nokia website, it still says my firmware v100 is the latest. I know that even firmware v210 exists, know the list of fixed issues, so I actually want that one.
    Is there anyone out there to help with this mess and help nokia from loosing even more business users over to the iPhone? 
    Bernd G.

    first of all, it isnt Nokias fault. once firmware is released, they do their very best to roll it out and usually achieve this in a few eeks to most regions for their generic product codes (i.e. firmware that is not operator-branded). in your case, there is some kind of miscommunication between your operator (A1) and Nokia, that has resulted in the delay of firmware released for your particular product code. Nokia simply provide the firmware to A1, who then decide whether to actually release it or not with their logos and whatnot all over it (i.e. operator customisation) or if they do not, they will not release the firmware to the users. so all you can do is haggle A1 about it and hope they hurry up and release the firmware.
    another option is to ask the A1 guys to sign a release so that you can take your phone to your local Nokia Care Centre and have it flashed with generic firmware. although this is often unlikely to happen as customer service for operators usually do not know what users are talking about when you request this, or are too stubborn/lazy to allow it to happen. but nevertheless, you can try anyway and maybe something good can come out of all this.
    If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

  • E71 Firmware Upgrade - Does it lock the phone back...

    I got my E71 that is on 3 Network unlocked (by a mobile shop) earlier. Nokia released the new firmware however update wasn't available for all the phones depending on the network operator that are on. I wonder the reason for that whether operators put a protection to the firmware code that locks the phones back to themselves.
    Has anyone out there upgraded their firmware if they had previously got their handsets unlocked? What is the result?
    Cheers,
    Ugur

    After an update, your Nokia device may restart in its native language. To change the language go to Settings > Phone > General > Phone language.
    If your Nokia device was originally manufactured for use in another country or region, using Nokia Software Updater may revert the set of available device languages to the original language set.
    If your preferred language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, you may need to return your Nokia device to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated.

  • E71: firmware upgrade issues

    Hi, I think I had an E71 with firmware v300.21.012.
    Tried upgrading  to the newest firmware release 410.21.010.
    Now it returns the following message:
    Phone Start-Up failed. Contact the retailer.
    Tried re-installing the upgrade; did not work. Got same msg.
    Any way out or will have to run to the retailer?
    Regards,

    Had the same issue with an upgrade from v2 to the newest v4 on my E71. Phone booted ok after the update but failed when I did a full restore of my backup - only message was the "Contact your retailer"
    The reset  hadimassa points to worked on mine. After the hard reset, I manually resentered the mail and basic theme settings and have restore my contacts and messages from backup. I think there may be a miss match between the old settings and the current firmware/os but I have my messages and contacts and it probably could have done with a clear out of the old settings. Not going to try and restore the settings - couldn't risk two heart attacks in one night.
    thanks for the link.

  • E71 firmware upgrade failed and mobile software co...

    I recently purchased a new E71 and on the same day I run the "Phone software upgrade". It took around 2-3 hours to download and upgrade the phone. I saw it was updating to 3.x framework from 2.x.
    When I see after 2-3 hours what I saw that screen was blank, nothing on screen and keyboard light was on. I restared by removing the battery and restarted, but nothing happened. But on my PC upgrade was successful.
    How this is possible. Is the framework upgrade is this much critical ? OR is there any other way around to upgrade the framwork of the phone?
    After this problem I submitted my phone to nokia care and they installed the framework again, because it was corrupted. Now I want to upgrade the framework, so please let me know how can i do this easily.

    Have a look at the link below for details on how to update your firmware. It is probably the same as the procedure you used the last time.

  • Nokia E71 firmware upgrade to 210.21.006 problems

    I have just upgraded my firmware to the above version and now have the following problems; 1) the phone freezes 2) I cannot end an active call by pressing the red button but have to go to the menu and choose end active call. 3) the right soft key doesn't work in several apps. 4) the camera is now very slow to save image and yet again the right softkey (back) won't work and you have to press the home key and restart the camera between pictures.5) the phone has reset itself 7 times since the upgrade, during calls, internet or just on standby.                                                                    Has anyone else upgraded and had the smae problems? the phone was fine before the upgrade and i only did the upgrade as it was supposed to have improved the camera and the audio quality. I have just re-installed the update to see if this amkes a difference. Here's hoping.

    It’s now over 24 hours since I emailed Nokia and I haven't received a reply yet, not even an acknowledgement of the email. I think if I haven’t received a positive reply by Friday everyone that has problems should send a blanket email to Nokia (all sections of support) and see if they reply.
     It would appear that Nokia are concerned with quantity of sales rather than quality of product and services
    .I will post any response

  • Step by step procedure for Upgrade to ECC6.0

    Hi,
    I gained a lot from this forum . Can someone please mail me at
    [email protected]
    step by step procedure for upgrade .
    Will award full points for helpful documents..
    With regards,
    Mrinal

    SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
    1) Project Preparation
    Analyze the actual situation
    Define the objectives
    Create the project plan
    Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
    2)Upgrade Blueprint
    The system and components affected
    The mapped business processes
    The requirements regarding business data
    3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
    4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
    5)Production Cutover and Support
    The production solution upgrade
    Startup of the solutions in the new release
    Post processing activities
    Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
    SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
    STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
    •     Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
    •     Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
    •     After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified.  This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
    •     Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
    •     Then we need to move Z/Y Objects.  Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
    The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is –
    •     Includes
    •     Function Groups / Function Modules
    •     Programs / Reports
    •     OSS Notes
    •     SAP Repository Objects
    •     SAP Data Dictionary Objects
    •     Domains, Data Elements
    •     Tables, Structures and Views
    •     Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
    •     BDC Programs
    •     Print Programs
    •     SAP Scripts, Screens
    •     User Exits
