N80 firmware update question...

I think I have read this in other posts but am unsure how valid it is...
I have several N80 handsets 2 of which were Vodafone UK but have subsequently been unlocked by Vodafone.
The firmware versions are both v4.0623.0.41
26/02/06
RM- 92
NOKIA N80 (42.03)
IF I take these to have their firmware updates done, does that then mean that they will revert back to being locked to the Vodafone network or does it stand that once a handset is unlock/network free that it remains as such?

If it isn't fun you are doing it wrong
N95, N80, N73, P990, P910, P900, 6230i, K750i, 8210

hi jg01
There are two issues here:
Firstly once unlocked a BB5 remains unlocked.
Secondly because they have a "Vodaphone" product code (label under battery) if you use Nokia Software Updater it will check which is the latest Vodaphone release software for your phone (not the latest generic software)
Nokia Service Centres used to be happy to upgrade with latest generic (non-operator branded) software, but I am not sure whether they have tightened up procedures now and insist on like for like software. I am sure somebody else will give you the definitive answer!
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • Nokia N80 Firmware Update Question - Looking for F...

    Hi,
    I've been looking for the latest Nokie N80 internet edition firmware. I know that the firmware version 5.0719.0.2 has been released but when I try to update my phone using Nokia Software Update program it tells me that my phone has the latest version.
    My phone firmware version is V 4.0623.0.42, released 20/09/2006, RM-92, Nokia N80 (85.01). Does anyone know where and how can I update my phone with the latest version? Thanks.

    I have an N80 which I was able to update a few months ago to 4.0632.0.38 (Which added all the Internet and Browser updates provided for the N80IE) then when I heard version 5 was out I tried, but no use, and since then it always says I have the latest version.
    I bought a SIM Free model from Expansys UK so it's not a operator issue, not sure why it's stuck on version 4. Emailed Nokia Support a few weeks ago but heard nothing back
    My Product Code is: 0535762
    Phone Type: RM-92
    Model: N80-1
    Anyone from NSU team able to help out?
    Thanks,
    Brian.

  • New Nokia N80 Firmware update available via NSU (v...

    There is a new N80 Firmware Update Available --> version 5.0725.0.1 APAC !! Product Code: 0527591
    Waiting for EMEA firmware!
    Nokia 5320 XM Red v4.13

    The software version is dependent on the product code, so if you are told that you have the no update is available then you have the latest SW version for your product code.
    Apart from the fact that product codes are usually unique to a country (and in some cases to a network operator), you shouldn't have any issues regarding your region.

  • GSA-H60L DVD Writer Firmware Update Question

    Hello all.
    i have a dvd writer here that needs to be updated.
    The model number is HL-DT-ST DVD-RW GSA-H60L.
    The trouble is that the firmware updater needs a Windows Vista 32 bit system to work, but i don't have one available at this time.
    Is there a workaround for this?

  • Satelite C660 - HDD firmware update question

    I have Satelite C660 with hdd: MK3275GSX, firmware: v.GT001M. On other website support site I found firmware update to v.GT002D ( [link|http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/mw/en/mwdhs1/DriverDetails/Product/latitude-e6330?driverId=FP21C&fileId=3126089791&osCode=W732 &languageCode=en] ).
    Can I use this update?

    Thank's for your reply!
    I never update firmware of hdd or any other PC component, except BIOS too.
    Must say that when I asked this question, I did not check which version of firmware exactly I have.
    I know that this is GT001, but last letter I do not remember.
    I checked it yestarday and was letter 'M' -> GT001M! My current version is GT001M, update is only for GT001D or GS001D.
    So this question is removed.

  • NSU and N80 firmware update on '3UK'

    Could anyone from Nokia please advise when the v4 firmware update for 3UK branded handsets will be available via the NSU program. Many thanks.

    Nokia don't release this kind of info, best you can do is check every couple of days via NSU.
    First use the search to see if your question has already been answered...
    Secondly I will not knowingly assist in breaking the forum rules.
    My information is always changing, what I post at the time is usually true.

  • Firmware update question

    Does anyone know if it is only possible to update the firmware on macbooks from within the OS? or is there some kind of audit mode as there is with winxp?
    Reason I'm asking is that when the HDD is changed we are currently having to reinstall the OS, set it up, and then update the firmware. But we are wanting to leave the unit with no user account setup, as it is when you first install OSX.
    Does anyone know of a way of doing this at all?
    Cheers

    Hi Chris,
    Welcome to apple forum.
    Honestly I have no idea how to update firmware like in dos mode on PC for this macbook and you cannot go to software updater until you set up a user or admin.
    maybe this verbose start up might work:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106388
    But since the firmware updater is permanent, maybe you can install the os X, create a user, update the firmware until it is done and wipe the HD and reinstall the os x until "no user set up" step as you want.
    And the user will get up to date firmware and user setup login when they turn it on for the "first" time.
    Good Luck.

  • IPods and firmware update question

    It happened.
    I wait, wait, wait and finally buy an 80gb for $350 and a month later 160gb for less comes out!
    The only new feature I like is the album cover browse...text listing doesn't mean anything to me for over half my collection - I KNOW my album covers though.
    Is there any plans for a firmware update that will bring my 80gb iPod the ability to operate similar to the new releases of today? I'd like the album browse feature on my 80gb...

    If it wasn't so difficult and hidden to find out how to contact them directly, I would. Thanks for your answer! I hope it's wrong though...
    To your knowledge, have they ever had firmware updates for any product?
    Also, to your knowledge, do Apple reps browse these discussion forums? Maybe someone will accuratley respond.

  • IPod Touch firmware update question

    I have a first generation iPod touch. I finally purchased the 3.1.1 firmware update, and it's downloading now. When I made the purchase, a warning flashed, telling me that when I update the iPod, all of the data on it will be lost. It said that if I wished to keep my music etc., I should make sure it's connected to the computer I usually sync it with.
    Now, I suspect that it's just going to update the iPod's firmware, then sync it with my current iTunes library. The thing is, only about half of the music that's on this iPod is on this computer's hard drive. I don't wish to lose the other half.
    So, does anyone have any experience with this? If iTunes will back up the data on my iPod, and then restore it once it's done updating, that would be fine, but that doesn't seem like the sort of thing that would happen...
    Should I just download copytoy and backup all the songs, then restore them after the update? Thanks.

    Thanks for the response. I now have a slightly more serious problem, though, which I doubt can be helped, but I figure I may as well ask anyway. Here goes:
    I was looking for a program to extract my music off the ipod to make a backup as you suggest. (Back before I had an iPod touch, I used yamipod, but that doesn't have touch / iPhone support.)
    One that looked promising was called Sharepod, so I downloaded it, and launched it. It told me that I shouldn't run both iTunes and sharepod simultaneously, so I closed iTunes. Then it told me that it didn't detect any iPod, so I should re-open iTunes with the iPod connected, then restart Sharepod.
    When I opened iTunes back up, it told me that it couldn't read the data on the iPod, and that I should do a factory reset to fix the problem. (This of course will erase the data.)
    So now I'm pretty much stuck. I can't get iTunes to read my iPod, and as long as it can't, neither can sharepod. The only way I can get iTunes to see the iPod is to wipe the data, which is what I downloaded sharepod to prevent in the first place. In the meantime, the iPod works just fine, I just can't sync/update it until I wipe it, which I would like to avoid. Do you know of any way I could possibly fix this error without losing my data? I've rebooted both the iPod and the computer, and even re-installed iTunes, but no luck.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • Firmware updatea question

    I know I need to run the firmware update on my iMac before I upgrade from OS 8.6 to OS X, but was wondering what happens if I run the update, but then don't upgrade for several days/weeks. Anything bad?

    its fine. The firmware update actually wasn't created just for OS X, OS X simply requires it. its a recommended upgrade even if you don't upgrade to OS X.

  • N80 firmware updates

    Hello all... this is my first post in this discussion...
    i have a problem with my N80 ... i just updated its firmware today from v3 to v5 using Nokia Software Updater... evrythng run smooth (so far..) .... however the only problem ive encountered is it wont detect any wireless network... even i try keep the closest range to the wireless still it wont detect .. can somebody help me on where did i go wrong??
    thanks and hoping to get a very quick reply

    Is it just with the one wlan or have a you tried a few. If it is with all wlan's then I would suggest reinstalling the update  or resetting the phone. I updated my own N80 to V5 almost 2 years ago now and had no problems and it is still working well. 

  • N80 Firmware Update

    When is it coming out NOKIA ?

    I was told by the engineer at my local service centre that there had been 10 updates for my N80, from the firmware that was on the phone. Whether thats the O2 firmware or Nokia he didn't say as obviously each network has their own additions and fixes here and there for the firmware. But either way something can't be going right with it as my phone has the latest firmware that everyone has been mentioning (UK). I'm having to send my N80 back though as the stupid phone wont let him install the updates as it wouldn't respond to him trying to install them. O2 have messed me around by telling me I'll get my replacement on friday, to later get an email saying its out of stock! Will try find out, when I pick up my phone from the service centre, what the latest version of firmware they have available though.

  • Nokia N80 Firmware Update

    I have a Nokia N80 (RM-92), with firmware v. 3.0617.0.6
    When I go to Nokia Software Updater it says that don't exist any update.
    I wanted to know how can I update my firmware to N80ie V 4.0707.0.7
    Thanks...
    PS: Sorry my bad english.

    Your firmware is probably from some operator.See if there are some personalization related to your network, like a theme, a screensaver, an image that appears at startup, etc.
    The trend is latest firmwares are always available first for unbranded firmwares (aka generic).Depending your country and operator, it's possible a new firmware never becomes available.
    It's bad, but true.That's why it's better if you could afford unbranded phones
