MY NOKIA N73 NOW DEAD AFTER UPDATING TO FIRMWARE 3...

Hi ladies and gents
looks like other folks have had thier lovely new shiny n73's turned into paperwieghts.
followed the instructions to the letter, everything looked like it was working, the updater asked me to remove the battery and the charger for a few secs then press/hold the on button for a few secs...................then the updating process continues but then i get a message saying the update process failed and to try again which i did, only for the same thing to happen two more times!!!!??????
just wondering what other ownwers experiences have been like perforrming the above firmware update. any advice would be appriciated.

When the Software updater prompts you to do that, DO NOT unplug the phone or remove the battery at any stage. Simply check that the phone has no active connections running in the back round and click try again. The same thing happened with my N70-1 as I was using the phone as a modem at the same time that I was updating the software. I ;et the file download then when it prompted me to remove the battery I simply disconnected the modem and clicked try again and it updated with no issues at all.

  • Nokia 6500 Slide dead after update

    So, I updated to the latest firmware. Everything was fine until the phone restarted. Nokia Software update showed me that update last's for 15 minutes.. I waited. 15, 30.. And so, finally I gave up. 
    It updated too long, and I decided to try if my phone starts, because it had to restart, but it did not. Phone just shut down, and nothing else. Before attempting the update, I was sure that battery was almost full. So there were no battery alerts in this update.- I've tried to take battery out and keep it like this for 5 minutes. It helped, phone buttons lights and screen started to work, but after 5 seconds it shuts down automatically. So I tried to do this more and more, but it did not help at all. 
    After trying this battery out method for multiple times, phone went to very strange condition. I took the battery out, but screen and buttons were on. Like what the heck was that? Phone worked without battery on? 
    Before this awful update fail, my nokia was in perfect condition. No marks of damage or anything else, it was a well cared phone, so I personally think that the problem was not caused by hardware.
    What should I do next? I really need my nokia right now.
    Phone is Nokia 6500s-1    _____Type: RM-240

    You need to send it to your local Nokia Care Point. There is nothing else you can try yourself.

  • Nokia 6500 slide problem after updated to firmware...

    Hi, I have recently updated my nokia 6500 slide with the latest firmware version 9.40. I realise that after the upgrade, my phone encounters problem reading the SD memory card. It happens intermittently, sometimes you see, sometimes you don't. Initially I thought it was due to my memory card but after replacing it with a new one, problem still occurs.

    It looks like something on your system caused the updater to crash.
    Unfortunately your only option for that model is to take it to a nokia care point for repair. Tere's nothing else that you can do for it.

  • Crashing after update to firmware v400.21.013 for ...

    I'm using nokia E71 and I just update to firmware v400.21.013. Now it keeps report error and I can't connect to pc suite. After I download and install one software to MMC, I lost everything. Can I re-install the original firmware back? Please anyone can help. Thanks alot.

    You can always reinstall the latest firmware. Reset the E71 after update. Dial *#7370# 12345 reformat, you'll lose all data. Make a backup first and restore without the settings. Just don't install programs or applications on the memorycard. Insert the card IN the phone and NOT on a PC or Mac to format. Remove the card by pressing the red button and choose remove card from the dialog option. If you insert the card later you should hear a short bleep.

  • Double NAT error status after updating to firmware 7.1

    This may be a bug. My Airport Extreme was working perfectly, but after updating to firmware 7.1, with no other changes to configuration, it is now reporting a Double NAT error. Both wired and wireless clients still have access to the WAN and each other, so everything still works. I know I can ignore the error, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this issue?
    I have a possibly unusual setup -
    My DSL modem creates an address of 192.168.1.47 and hands that to the APE as its WAN address. I've configured the APE to hand out addresses to its client machines on the LAN in the 192.168.2.x range and it does that correctly. So there is no actual conflict - the WAN address is 192.168.1.47 and the client addresses are all in the 192.168.2.x range. Could the new software be assuming that the 192.168.1.x range is the NAT range without verifying the actual range is really 192.168.2.x? Seems unlikely, but it appears to be the case.
    Any insights on this appreciated....

    When iTunes attempts to sync photos from iPhoto, it shows the amount of the iPod drive taken up with photos, BUT NO usage on the drive graph itself.
    When Sync Photos from iPhoto is deselected and another sync attempted, iTunes asks if photos should be removed from iPod, despite the previous sync being unsuccessful. When I choose to remove the photos, the amount shown taken up by photos disappears.
    Does anyone know what the error message quoted in my question above means?

  • Can't access internet after updating to firmware 7.3.1

    After updating to firmware version 7.3.1, I lost the ability to access the internet. The AEBS thinks it has an internet connection (the light is green), but it does not. I have tried restarting the AEBS and my cable modem router.
    I had the same problem with firmware version 7.2.1, and had to revert to 7.1.1.
    I'd like to find a solution so that I can make use of Airdisk and Time Capsule.

    Same here: 7.1.1 works but 7.2.1 & 7.3.1 do not with the same symptoms.
    In fact there are now several threads reporting the same loss of internet connectivity. Happily reverting to 7.1.1 restores connectivity.

  • Contacts sort order after updating to firmware 051...

    I am just after updating my E52 with 051.018 Firmware. Before firmware update I done my contacts like this: 01 Val, 02 John, 03 Dad etc... so that when I selected contacts the numbers I most used/dialled come up at the top of the list but now after updating my firmware the contacts at the top of the list are those starting with A  - I have tried going into settings and choosing the order of first name last name but its still the same. I suppose a workaround would be to edit my contacts so that 01 Val becomes AA Val and 02 john becomes AB John but I would really like to keep them as before I updated the firmware if anyone knows a solution. Many thanks,
    Andy.

    The problem was solved. It apparently had to do with DNS server settings. I subscribe to Unblock-US here in Canada, and that messed up communication between the Bravia and the Sony servers. I have my DNS settings set on the router level, so what I had to is to simply bypass the router settings by setting new DNS addresses on the Bravia itself. I used the Google DNS for the Bravia:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    Of course, with this configuration, I can no longer access US content on my Netflix on the Bravia television. What I find strange is that this was never a problem prior to the update, so I guess Sony is locking down on geoblocking with this latest update.

  • Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hi anyone.

    Hello,
    If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

  • I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same difficulty. "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

    I find Mail under Mavericks to be weird. Are others having this same/similar difficulty? "Upgraded" to Mavericks last week, after updating the firmware to my WD external HD.

    "Weird" needs further explanation.
    Google's highly nonstandard IMAP implementation is weird, if you're using Gmail, though Apple bent over backwards to accomodate it. Other than that, what do you mean by "weird"?

  • Camera problems after updating 8100 Firmware to v4.5

    Hi All
    This is a known issue to me as I update all our work handsets with Blackberry firmware for the company I work for.
    After updating the firmware on several handsets to the latest 4.5 version of the Blackberry 8100 there is a problem with the camera.
    When you are in view mode and outside (even whilst overcast) the screen goes white as if the aperture for the lens is open wide.
    Even when you take the picture the result is whiteness everywhere.
    Please see examples here:
    http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540100
    and
    http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=540101
    Both of these pictures were taken indoors with just flourescent lights on.
    However if I return the firmware to a lower level the problem no longer exists.
    I have tried changing the white Balance settings on the handset and no matter which setting I put it on the same results occure.
    I was wondering if there is a patch or do I have to wait for the next version for a bug fix?
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • N73 dead after updating from nokia online firmware...

    can anybody help me i have a n73 it belongs to one of my customer he has a software issue.. the phone was freezing.. i tried to update it with the online firmware update from a nokia software.. after updating the phone wont turn on anymore.. can anyone help me about this issue.. thank you..

    ok guys, please be advised that upgrading N73 is not something everyone can do! Please view the software upgrade page completely before upgrading your phones. It is all stated there already.
    Here is a quote from the page:
    Please note that not all N73 models have new software available. Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have updated software. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible and we apologize for the delay. We will let you know as soon as new variants do become available. (24-Nov-06)
    Nokia N93 updates are temporarily unavailable due to maintenance. You can still download and install the Nokia Software Updater application to your computer for use with other compatible Nokia products. (16-Nov-06)
    Firmware upgrading is something serious. Please read everything before upgrading it!Message Edited by mmubashar on 14-Jan-2007

  • My N73 is dead after a firmware update!

    Hey i just wasted my N73, I was traying to update the firmware, I did not make a back up of the cellphone, everything was ok until NSU gave me a message (sorry for my english).. something like:
    1. Extract the battery
    2. Insert the battery and connect the charger
    3. Turn it on
    And I just tought... what the hell!. I followed that steps but it didn't work. I think its my fault, beacuse I didn't restarted my pc after I installed NSU and i didn't put the cellphone in "general" mode (or something like that).
    So what can I do? the cellphone is DEAD.

    Yes you should have rebooted your computer as advised by the program. Also even if the procedure had been successful you would still have lost all of your data from the phones memory, that is why it tells you to back up.
    First remove the battery for 5 minutes, reconnect the battery, connect it to your pc and run the updater again. Leave it for a few minutes and it should go into recovery mode (try this several times).
    If not disconnect it and try a hard reset.
    Hard reset:
    1. Switch off the phone.
    2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
    3. While holding these buttons, press the power button and switch on the phone.
    4. Release when the phone shows the nokia logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
    If that fails to fix it try the advice offered in this post by drummer27:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&messa​ge.id=14152#M14152
    If that still fails then the last option is to take the phone to a nokia care point.
