E90 firmware upgrade 2009 ??

Is anyone in the know??
Can we expect a new firmware release in 2009 beyond version 300........
Or is it time to get a new phone.
Some things in life are guaranteed, but can you claim on them?

It is rumoured that it will get at least one further update.
It is unknown when this will happen or what the update will contain as nokia does not announce updates in advance.

E90 firmware upgrade problems

Recently, I upgraded my E90's firmware from the version 7.xx to 300.34.84. I backed up all the data on the phone prior to the firmware upgrade - as required for the retention of software certificates and data.
Some of the trouble I'm having now is with the Download! folder, specifically the Applications subfolder - it does not update it's content - actually, it's totally unaccessible. Also, the Windows Live Application no longer works - and I'm unable to download a fresh copy as a result of the problems with the Download! folder. Prior to the firmware upgrade, I had using the Windows Live Messenger application and the Windows Live email/messaging synchronising facility in the Messaging folder hitch-free for about three months.
Any ideas? Thanks
By the way, I don't think the upgrade in this case has much merit. Other than the A-GPS, there's no real substance in 300.34.84.

I just saw a post for the exact same problem on an E71. Search 'E71 Download! folder: Service Not Available' by hazz on this site. See my problem is I'm not too interested in the third-party software available from ea.mobile.nokia.com/ea/apps/. I'm interested in the ones that become available in the Download! folder, under Applications. When I click on Applications, the chevron appears, followed by the progress bar, which fills almost completely, then shows the this message: 'Catalog update failed!' I believe my internet connection is working fine - I watch youtube on the device often.
This week, a new link appeared - U2 - Get On Your Boots - which great, 'cause U2 rocks. But, Applications remains dead - even if I remove it from the list and click - Options/Select/Refresh List.
I got around the Windows Live problem by using the awesome Nokia Messaging (email) [http://email.nokia.com], and the instant messaging application mxit. Besides those minor issues, I think the E90 is a pretty awesome device.
Thanks

E90 firmware update 2009-06-09

Hi all,
I just upgraded my E90 firmware to v400.
I did a normal backup, upgrade firmware and restore.
But the calendar data is missing!
I have very many and very important meetings in the calendar data, so I really need this info back from the backup!
Why does the restore fail ?
I'm using the latest version of the PC-Suite software.
Is it possible to restore the calendar info anyway ?
Please help!
/Johan

This has been happening with PC Suite software as long as I can remember. Here's the solution:
ONLY way to get this to work is to back up your phone to PC Suite before upgrading the software. After upgrade, restore all data; calendar won’t work. Get hold of another Nokia phone with a large enough capacity memory, and restore the calendar to that handset. Then back up that calendar data to the PC Suite under another name; restore this calendar data to your original phone.
And if you have a moment, please make a formal complaint to Nokia Customer Services to fix this problem - I've known of it for at least 3 years, and every upgraded PC Suite has this fault - they just won't fix it. It's simply infuriating.

E90 Firmware upgrade

I have downloaded and installed the Software Updater. However, while running it, it wanted to download a 73mb firmware upgrade. My problem is that because I have a slow connection, 73mb can take up to 3 days to download so I had to cancel it.
Is it therefore possible to download that upgrade piecemeal (using GetRight) and run locally instead of being connected 24/7 to the Internet?
Regards.

Your options are:
- go to a friend, relative, colleague, university, etc., where a higher speed network connection is available, and update there
- go or send the phone to your nearest Nokia authorized repair/service center and ask them to do the updating for you
- get a faster internet connection at home
- live without updating the firmware until one of the above options become viable for you

Firmware upgrade nokia CK-7W car set

Hello.
Is it possible to firmware upgrade the car kit CK-7W ?
I have problems that the audio connection between my Nokia 6210 Navigator and CK-7W is is in falling out periodical.
I have the lates firmware in my nokia 6210 navigator (3.25)
Message Edited by hchdk on 01-Jan-2009 11:03 PM

Thanks for the response.
The car kit was installed by a Car Phone Warehouse Nokia approved fitter about 4 years ago The kit has worked really well until recently!
The contol button doesn't seem to be stuck in and responds as it should to button presses. In terms of the cable being squashed or damaged. Obviously there is a chance, but in actual fact, only an inch is on show before it is hidden behind the dashboard. In this instance I'm not sure what damage might occur since I don't know how to remove the dash!
Apologies, I'm not certain I understand your comment re:
- "You can rule out the button by disconnecting it then starting the car and connecting, before switching off the car to see if the kit shuts down."
How do I disconnect the button? Does it pull away from the lead / cable?
Many, many thanks for your help,
Chris

How do I find firmware upgrades for a 1.66 Mac mini, or any mac

We have a Mac Mini 1.66 processor. I have updated all of the software, but notice that there are no firmware updates. How do you find applicable firmware updates? I looked at my son's Macbook Pro and see that there is a Mac Mini firmware update listed and when you click on it, it says that it is not applicable to that machine. He used the migration utility to move from the Mac Mini to the Macbook Pro. My guess is that the Mac Mini is marked somewhere as having the firmware upgrade even though we did a complete install from scratch of the OS after he moved to his Macbook Pro. The re-install took the Macbook back to Tiger and then up to Leopard. I would like to get everything up to date before upgrading to Snow Leopard. As an aside, I would assume I can delete the file if it is allowed on the MacBook Pro that references the firmware for the Mac Mini since it says it is not applicable.

If no firmware updates appears via Software Update, then it's probable that there are none applicable to your model of Mac. The most recent firmware update, probably the one your son is seeing, applies only to the 2009 Mac mini. You can, if you wish, look up a list of all updates released for any model of Mac mini here:

My BB 8520 won't connect via USB after the firmware upgrade

Hi,
All was working fine until I followed the upgrade prompts. The 'phone works but a) it won't accept Opera Mini 5.1 (which was in the 'phone already) and b) I cannot connect to the PC via the USB cord.
What happened?
This 'phone shares the same SIM card with 3 Nokias (E72, E90, E62) and I've never had firmware upgrade problems with them - in Symbian OS.,
Any ideas?
Regards, Douglas

Hi, again -
Just downloaded Bolt and I like it also. (No more zooming: whoopee!)
Never heard of this browser before, having used Opera Mini/Mobile (depending upon the 'phone) since 2004. Was on E-Mails for cell 'phones dating back to 1997, coast to coast: primitive service back then! [Rarely did I use the default browser on any 'phone I've had, including Motorola and Palm before Nokia.]
Bolt loaded faster than Opera Mini 5.1 did on my Nokias and the Blackberry 8520: amazing!
Now my "not as good as a Nokia with Symbian" handset is useful again. The firmware upgrade did improve the videos and the links to them, so it was a GAIN SOME FEATURES and LOSE SOME FEATURES firmware upgrade.
Probably Opera will have a link for the Blackberry 5 platform, eventually. The problem, I think, was that the link only worked with three versions of their 4 edition.
You have made my day!
Thanks.
Regards, Douglas
PS: Not until the Nokia E90 Communicator was off the market for a year or so, did Opera put out a Mobile browser which functioned on it. The Communicator - in a variety of versions - had a 12 year run in Finland, something of a record for handsets in this field. For Word .docs, fast typing and office style activities, it's hard to beat. (You can't wear one in your pocket if the garment is Spandex, of course.) The music on the E90 is loud and good; with the wireless aux. speakers it rivals a portable stereo, so I use it for that purpose much of the time, even when off-line.

**SPA2102 FIRMWARE UPGRADE PROBLEM WITH 5.2.12

I'm having problems loading firmware 5.2.12 onto my SP2102-R ATA. I have my laptop PC running Windows 7 directly with an ethernet cable from my laptop to the ethernet connection on the back of the SPA2102. I run the .bin file and In order to get the software to the upgrade stage I have to enter ****, 73738 1# to move to the next stage. I have now been waiting for 1/2 hour waiting for firmware download request from SPA. IT DOESN'T GET PASS THIS STAGE.......CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL WHAT I'M DOING WRONG OR WHAT I NEED TO DO DIFFERENT?
Thanks......

Based on my experience with the SPA2102-NA, it is not necessary to do a factory reset (*73738) in order to perform a firmware upgrade/downgrade.
However, now that you have done so, any and all previous user settings will have been reset to the original factory settings (including user set passwords - assuming your ATA is an un-locked SPA2102-NA).
If you think the firmware 5.2.12 is faulty, then repeat the upgrade/downgrade process by downgrading back to an earlier version:
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414111&softwareid=282463187&release=5.2.12&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=latest
If you are still having problems, see if this tutorial will reveal any procedural issues:

X4600m2 bios/ilom firmware upgrade problem

In the X4600m2 downloads, under Software 2.3, in the firmware category, I downloaded ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima (md5 checks out). I can't install the new firmware however (using the ILOM cli):
-> load -source tftp://172.22.95.215/ILOM-3_0_3_31_r42822-Sun_Fire_X4600M2.ima
NOTE: A firmware upgrade will cause the server and ILOM to
      be reset. It is recommended that a clean shutdown of
      the server be done prior to the upgrade procedure.
      An upgrade takes about 6 minutes to complete. ILOM
      will enter a special mode to load new firmware. No
      other tasks can be performed in ILOM until the
      firmware upgrade is complete and ILOM is reset.
Are you sure you want to load the specified file (y/n)? y
Do you want to preserve the configuration (y/n)? n
Image is not for this platform.
Firmware image update failed.
->With all previous releases this worked fine.
Update: the upgrade on the ILOM web interface also fails.
I'm running this version currently:
-> version
SP firmware 2.0.2.10
SP firmware build number: 38791
SP firmware date: Tue Nov 4 18:36:42 PST 2008
SP filesystem version: 0.1.14
Any idea why this is failing? I've tried both preserving and not preserving the configuration.

Are you saying that it worked before because of an error? I've worked with boards before tha supported 2 monitors, 1 on the mainboard and 1 on a graphics card.

Yes.. normally onboard become automatically disabled, when dedicated card is installed.

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

Firmware upgrades to 802.11n (final)?

I have an Airport Extreme (Early 2009). The spec is 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n (draft). Do the firmware upgrades upgrade the unit to 802.11n (final)?

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. Does this mean that it support 300MHz?

Nokia E90 firmware download problem

Hi - I'm trying to update my Nokia E90 firmware from 210.34.75 to 300.34.84 and the 81.9MB file downloads perfectly (in under 3 minutes) until it gets to 60.3MB and then stops. Any ideas? I've un-installed the entire PC Suite and its add-ons, an no luck. Any ideas? Thanks, Ian.

I also had trouble downloading the software upgrade (from version 7.xx to version 300.34.84) for my E90. I tried three times before it actually begun to download - upon which, the download and upgrade went by successfully. I agree that the upgrade - even from my very old/early firmware - was almost completely pointless. Some of the trouble I'm having now is with the Download! folder, specifically the Applications subfolder - it does not update it's context - actually, it's totally unaccessible. Also, the Windows Live Application no longer works - and I'm unable to download a fresh copy.
I backed up all the data on the phone prior to the firmware upgrade - as required for the retention of software certificates and data.

E90 Firmware - downgraded?

What is going on with E90 firmware? Aside from the fact that it's buggy and incomplete, it hasn't had an update in months. It might even have had a downgrade.
My current firmware version is 400.34.93 (unbranded).
However, the latest firmware for my product code (0533332) is shown as 300.34.84.
Of course, this means the firmware update tool thinks I'm up to date already.
What happened? Why has the number gone down? How do "downgrade" and is it actually an upgrade in this case?
Maybe somebody competent can help me here (this isn't the first time direct messages to Nokia support have gone unanswered).
Thanks.
Simon

Maybe I'm not competent but keep in mind we're all users here and we can only make suggestions.
As you wrote, your 400.34.93 firmware is buggy and incomplete. That could very well be the reason why Nokia rolled back the firmware update, even though it's weird. Use Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater to reinstall the firmware.
