Firmware upgrade made easy

Why wont nokia firmware upgrade get beta like the iphone,cause nokia upgrade is so stressing u backup,format,do this do that jeez.but iphone just click update everything starts like magic only what u have to do is keep the internet connection steady others are done by the upgrader software. PLEASE NOKIA HELP US TO HELP YOU MAKE UPGRADING MORE EASIER BY INTRODUCING NEW FIRMWARE THAT WILL BE MUCH LIKE APPLE iphone. Please nokia users,help to persuade.

Not only iPhone but Motorola upgrader utility also doing like iPhone. I have a Motorola KRZR K1 and I have upgrade its firmware and its utility first backup all the data from mobile then doing firmware upgrade and then restore everything. Many users asking NSU to do like this and hope Nokia also will make NSU like this. We have to wait for it.

  • Extreme firmware upgrade made Express unable to connect

    I got the auto update notice for a fimware upgrade to my Extreme to 7.2.1. Once I upgraded I am no longer able to connect my Express. I have done all the resets and have gone through all configuration each time, but after it resets itself after configuring it, it no longer shows up in the AirPort Utility until I reset it again. The only thing unique about my Extreme config is that I have the Radio Mode set to 802.11b/g compatible. This was necessary to connect TiVo wireless USB adapters to the network.

    The reason the Airport Express loses its connection is that it doesn't know the password.
    You have two ways of doing this.
    1. When adding security to a WDS network, add it to the remote nodes first then turning them off, before adding it to the main base station and turning the nodes back on.
    2. Hard/Factory reset the Airport Express nodes and then reconfigure the main base station before then configuring the reset Airport Express units.

    This should show how lost you might be with your warranty. If you install the Firmware Upgrade .8.02 your player might be useless. There is no way to make it work again. Not really. If you understand what Creative seems not to do. So dear user - buy a new player. If you want to know what the solution is to make your player work again post here. If there are enough postings I will explain it here. Too sad that Creative does not do it. It is their job not mine... But again - I am not talking about a problem what is nice to have it solved. I am talking about a player that does not work anymore. If you do not want to wait for my solution just send your player for repair - it was not your fault that it does not work anymore...
    This story with the great support was a test of Creative and will be used in a review. So be not surprised to find it somewhere else.
    Here the Creative support story. The first mail is at the bottom. I had to make part and part 2 since you cannot post such a long message here.

I just wanted to test the support at Creative. The problem is real and forces owners of your players to buy a new one since their playes get useless after the upgrade. Not only that Creative puts a faulty upgrade on their homepage - their support is good for nothing. But this was a test of the Creative support. I hardly can believe that Creative is not in the position to solve a very simple problem caused by Creative - what has severe consequences for their customers. But this mail story confirms exactly this. So my advice to any customers - stay away from this company and their products - what is the final result of my test. If you want to know the solution for the problem please contact me again - I am glad to help such a poor company :-)))) For free?

  • Time Capsule firmware upgrade interfering with VPN connection?

    I regularly connect to our corporate VPN with my (corporate, non-Apple) laptop through wi-fi through our Time Capsule.  I think that the recent firmware upgrade to the Time Capsule has made it impossible for me to connect to the VPN.  My IT department suggests that the upgrade may have tightened a security setting that is preventing the VPN connection.  Is this something others have experienced?  Is there anything to do about it?  (At the moment, I am connecting to the VPN through my iPhone as a hotspot, but I'll use up my data allowance if I keep doing that.)

    Yes, it is common.. Apple only bother to check their software requirements.. not everybody elses.
    VPN in particular seems to suffer from being killed off on about every second firmware revision. Woopss forget about that..
    Is there anything to do about it? 
    Absolutely.. take your TC back to the last firmware that worked.. a Gen1 I would strongly recommend 7.5.2 but 7.6.1 is not bad.. avoid the rest.
    Downgrade firmware is easy in v6 utiity.
    Click on the version number with the option key held down.. lo and behold.. all the old versions will appear .. pick a goodun and it will proceed to downgrade that is an upgrade in functionality.. at least as far as your VPN is concerned.. very little else is going to be affected.
    V6 utility does allow you to turn off checking for updates .. I just found it.
    On the top menu area open preferences for airport utility..
    Uncheck the first two items.. check for updates and check for updates weekly.
    Do not even dream that this will stop it complaining about updates.. because it will still manage to complain.. but less often.. and you MUST ignore it.. for your own good.
    Are you sure your port forwarding is still functional and is the laptop or whatever you are using getting the right IP. If IP changes the VPN will no longer work.. but I think port forwarding has become more problematic as v6 utility has made it harder.
    Sometimes as part of this process you should also factory reset.. old firmware or new firmware and redo the port forwards again.
    It is also much easier to simply use a router that understands vpn.

  • Sky Router firmware upgraded - can no longer login with credentials

    I usually have no problems accessing my sky router (white Sky Hub with ADSL) via the page 192.168.0.1 however I tried to login the other day and was greeted with an updated looking summary screen - all very nice I thought, let's go and explore! However when I put in the usual details - username: admin, password: sky I get prompted to input my details again which is very odd. Now I know that I am the only one who accesses the router in this way as my flatmate has never logged in and probably never will so I can only assume the firmware upgrade has caused the password/username to change. I logged in the other week and the password is saved in my browser so I am sure I am not making any mistake here. I have tried in chrome and IE just in case but I have the same issue in both. Has the new firmware brought a new default password? I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on this site so it seems unlikely. I would rather not reset my router to default settings as I have devices with static IP addresses and port forwarding setup that will take me some time to reconfigure. I don't think there is any feature to backup the config unless you are actually logged in to the router but would love to be worng about this. I am guessing I will have to bite the bullet and reset to factory defaults but would welcome any help or suggestions if possible?

    After review the events of the morning.....
    I normally keep my routers in the basement where my eth jacks all hub.  High on a shelf, I got reasonable coverage on 2.4Ghz even on the second floor.  I went to this router for the Dual mode, but found the 5Ghz didn't make it sufficiently well to the second floor.  So it was moved to the first floor, on a counter.  That morning the router started acting up a bit, not bringing an iphone online.  It was looked at - and a couple of post cards that had been placed on top, removed.  Air flow was not blocked around the sides in any way - just a few pieces of card stock on top to interfere with convection off the top.  
    1.  There is no way to look at temperature - maybe the device doesn't even know its own temp.
    2.  There is no fan that I can discern.  Clearly, creating a device that is designed to sit on a flat surface in a home environment ought to take into consideration "normal impediments to air flow".   Temp controlled fans is simple, well proven tech.
    3.  This design is small, has TWO radios, sits horizonal (thus is going to have lousy convection) - seems to me an engineer ought to have given more thought to not only providing the user with easy to obtain data (temp), alternative methods (fan/vertical mounting) and/or self-protection (to hot, I'm shutting down rather than corrupt my database).
    Having spent millions on Cisco gear in my career, I would have hoped that Cisco+Linksys would have a little more Cisco and a little less Linksys.

  • Firmware upgrade stopped mail from sending emails

    since i had the firmware upgrade Ive had problems sending email using the Mail programme.
    Nothing i have tried has fixed this issue and ive scoured the net looking for a resolution.
    Has anyone else had this problem and how have you fixed it.
    Im a bit of an idiot when it comes to technical stuff so a for dummies explanation would go down really well.
    cheers

    sorry for the late reply
    I can receive mail but no SMTP servers will send out mail and i have tried four different ones including my ISP's
    I have also tried another mail package (thunderbird) and im getting the same problem.
    I have been unable to send mail on my mac now for months.
    Does anyone have any idea how i can rectify this - no changes have been made to my router settings so its not a firewall issue.

  • Firmware Upgrade causes severe slowness and Hangs

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? I did do the firmware upgrade, and that caused slowness in responsiveness (followed immediately by that spinning wheel). In some cases, it completely hangs. At this time, I also tried to VNC into it, and it wasn't listening. It looks like GUI and network connectivity got hosed. This happens at least 10 times today.
    Any suggestions?

    spingineer,
    I haven't seen the firmware update (done 2x) alone cause the problems that you're mentioning. In fact, I didn't notice a thing after running it. I DID notice issues when I ran all the updates (machine fresh out of the box and then everything at once). You machine shouldn't be any slower. Make sure you have enough free space on your drive.
    The obvious, and often underused, diagnostic tool is to create a new user account and see if the issues persist there. If not, then look to what's running in your login items and your applications. You may just need to repair permissions, but sometimes it helps to verify or repair the disk.
    As to the network connectivity. I'd say it's basically a given that a lot of minis aren't good citizens.
    What I see is contention. It's like the machine thinks 'oh, someone else is using the connection so I'll back off a bit then try again', even if nothing else is on at all. It could be partially hardware, there are changes in the machines; but it might be something that can be solved w/ modifications to the stack. It's almost like a feedback loop. The more you use the connection the more it thinks it is competing w/ other machines for access and the slower it becomes. Try the usual, zap the pram, repair permissions, etc. There's a good link if you use search to a tutorial that may help you w/ some network connectivity issues on the mini. (moving out system configuration, promoting your primary connection to the top, using the assistant, rebooting and zapping the pram).
    As easy as it seems to look at the firmware as the source of the problems, I haven't seen that as the foundation issue for either of the difficulties you are experiencing with your machine.
    Hopefully a few simple resets and permission repairs etc will remedy the issue.
    Good Luck,
    -j

  • Nokia 5230 - Wish List for Next Firmware Upgrade

    heya guys,
    I'm using Nokia 5230 with the latest firmware, V 12.0.089.
    The following are my wish list for the next firmware upgrade:-
    1. Messaging > Sent Items: Please include short cut icons to Forward, Create New and Delete as in Inbox.
    2. Log > Recent calls: Unnecessary option for Call > Voice Call.
    3. Settings > Personal > Themes > Call image > Theme image: A bug with certain 3rd party theme (e.g. JustBlack - 5th theme). During lock mode, screen is totally blank during calls & alarms.
    4. Settings > Application mgr. > Installed apps.: Too much application will cause an error of "Application Manager Memory full"  and auto exit when selecting "Option". During error, phone memory is around 25MB, Memory Card is around 2.5GB/4GB.
    5. Ovi Map > Drive / Walk > Set Destination: Please do an icon based UI for History, Favourite, Search & From Map. The list is to small to click on to (when driving) :-)
    6. Organize > Please include multiple selections. E.g. Mark/Unmark > Mark / Mark All. Easy to move multiple applications at once to any folder.
    That's all for now i guess. By the way, Nokia rocks!! 
    Thanks in advanced.

    Please integrate swype for messaging in the next firmware of 5230. Also kinetic scrolling for messages and contacts. If possible the homescreen of symbian^3. 

  • 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
    L. Douglas Henderson - ARTCRAFT Music Rolls
    EDIT: Link Removed. Please review User Guidelines  under section "No spam please."

    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.

  • Would you buy an n200 when firmware upgrade a problem or go with nan

    My dealer has both the n200 and nano with n200 a bit lower in price.Would you go with n200 if no firmware upgrade seems to exist or go for the nano?Does the n200 have decent firmware in it so upgrade not needed?Is there firmware out there to stop the backlight buzz? thanks matt

    First of all, compare the n200 to the Nano Plus. The Nano lacks FM radio and doesn't come with the case and armband(In the US both the n200 and Nano Plus have FM and the case and armband. In other places the case and armband might not be included). I would tend to want the Nano Plus if it is close in price to the n200 since going forward firmware upgrades for it will probably be available for longer than for the n200. Some of the earlier n200 firmware does have issues, especially that before .2 . If you do decide to buy an n200 you should plan to do a firmware upgrade as soon as you get it. It is not easy to tell what firmware an n200 will have just by looking at the package. If the price of the Nano Plus is $20 or more above that of the same capacity n200, then I would prefer an n200. If the Nano Plus is only $0 more then I would prefer the Nano Plus. Between those I guess it is a toss up.

  • 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

  • N80 Firmware Upgrade

    Hey, I have had an N80 for nearly a year now, and last night when I was attempting to back up my phone it seems to have gone a bit mad.
    Every now and again a Message flashes up saying
    MESSAGE: SUPPORT NOT FEATURED
    This is when going into Text messages or phone gallery, consequently I am unable to view the messages and the gallery as they will not load.
    I would be grateful if you had any ideas on what it could be and what I could do? Could it need a firmware upgrade?

    I think it's unlikely that a firmware problem like that would suddenly appear after a year.
    I would check the memory card first as it sounds like it could be problems there. Failing that, I would back up the phone and memory card and do a factory reset on the phone (see the pinned thread on the smartphone board for details of how to do this) and a reformat of the card.
    If you still have problems, then it's a trip to the service centre, I'm afraid.

  • Firmware upgrade for Three's E71?

    I see there are several generic firmware upgrades around. My E71 was supplied by Three and reports: 
    100.07.76 08-06-2008
    RM-346 E71-1 241.02
    I believe upgrades should be authorised by the network. Is there a Three upgrade? Nokia's upgrade software says I have the latest version. Would the upgrader know about Three's upgrades?
    Thanks

    When I talked to a Three customer service advisor, he told me you could only send email through Three's server, Hotmail, Yahoo! and MS Exchange. Having tested 4-5 mailers, I was about to report back that you can indeed send email through Gmail (and possibly others as well), bypassing Three's restrictions. Fortunately, Gmail now allows sending email through their smtp server using the From address of your choice (after registration and verification) -- until a few months ago, they automatically replaced the From address with your gmail address, which made the service useless for many of us.
    In my experience, no serious ISP blocks port 25, quite rightly too. Three cannot know whether the remote smtp server you are trying to connect to implements authentication -- it is the responsibility of the remote smtp server admin to handle spam injections, by not offering open relaying. Three forcing users to send through its own smtp server messes up various things -- eg if you choose to occasionally connect through wifi or while roaming you would have to change the mailer's setup. Even if your ISP's server supports encryption, you are forced to send unencrypted email through Three. You can't make the most of IMAP setups ie having sent messages automatically stored in the Sent folder of your ISP's server. Three replaces your From address with your Three address as your messages go through its smtp server. 
    It is clear that all this is Three's idea of making money. If this kind of unacceptable restriction was really designed to block spam, they should (a) block all relevant ports, not just 25  (b) make sending email through Three's smtp server free, not charge £2.50 for three messages (c) not replace your From address with your Three address automatically and (d) make all this clear in the terms and conditions.When I brought (d) to their attention, they denied it but when I asked them to, they failed to point out where this restriction or the hidden charge is explained. Since then, I checked the T&Cs repeatedly and I cannot locate any mention. Even if there is one, the fact that I have been unable to locate it after repeated and targetted attempts says something. Which is why I consider the contract and the T&Cs null and void, and I will be reporting them to ASA and Trading Standards. So much for a company that claims the moral highground by advertising its transparency, leading public campaigns for cheaper calls etc. 
    BTW, I don't have any problems with their coverage.

  • Disappointed w E51 Firmware Upgrade

    Good day! I have just upgraded my Nokia E51, with Product Code 0552354, from 100.34.36 to 200.34.36 firmware. The said upgrade finished successfully and confirmed through my phone by keying *#0000# in stand-by.
    However, when I tried to update my Mail for Exchange inbox using a public WiFi as I have previously done, I keep encountering an error. The same public WiFi was detected and my phone says it is connected.
    I tried browsing for google.com and after a few seconds of waiting, a "Web: No Gateway Reply" message.
    When I got back to my desktop and queried for the error message I encountered, luckily or unluckily, tons of fellow Nokia users posted the same dilemma.
    Does firmware upgrade sort of 'malfunctioned' my phone's WiFi functionality? If so, then what's the purpose of the upgrade?
    I contacted Nokia Care via email and the response was to check my Wireless LAN settings by going to Tools > Settings > Connection> Wireless LAN > Options > Advance Settings > Changing advanced settings is not recommended. Continue anyway? > Yes > Automatic Config > Disabled > Power Saving > Disabled. Yet to no avail.
    I find it VERY disappointing provided the fact that I chose this phone primarily because of it's WiFi feature. I don't have time to go to Nokia Care centers that is why I am consulting this board. Hope someone could give a response that could fix this issue... :-(
    Determination overcomes impossibility...

    Hi tagabukidph
    I just bought my E51 made the upgrades and I also get the "No Gateway reply" and it really ticks me off as I had to go through a lot of hassel to find my WEP key.

  • Firmware upgrade on an SLM2008

    I have just attempted to load the latest firmware on an SLM2008, everything appeared to work as expected BUT, the switch is no longer pingable on its static IP doesn't appear to have attempted get an address via DHCP.  I have attempted power cycling the switch but it has made no difference.  The switch is still switching but I have no management any more.
    Any advice on what to do next ?

    Got hold of another SLM2008 and did a swap so I could do some fault finding.
    Full factory reset on switch brought the management back to life on the default IP.  The firmware upgrade had succeeded, the switch had just lost its IP settings somehow.
    Switch has now been successfully redeployed.
