N96 firmware problems

hi all, sorry if this has been asked over and over, but any help with this will be great!
I recently got my 2nd n96 (lol dont ask) and decided to try upgrade the firmware before i fill it with contacts and such,
I am currently using v 11.018, and have seen at least one more update on from that 12.050? 20?!
Problem being, NSU doesnt show an update and likewise the nokia site shows no available update for my product code.
Similarily in device manager the search for updates shows no updates.
So i am wondering is there a way to change my code, or do i sit and wait for it (doesnt feel like it will ever come to be honest!) or is there a way i can get NSU to recognise my code for a firmware upgrade?
I am in the UK on Vodaphone and my product code is 0572092

Try a format *#7370#. All data saved to phone will be erased so make sure that you have backed up all important files
Nokia n95, 5800 and n97

Mfe not working proper on N96 firmware v30

Dear Sir,
i have changed my phone from nokia n95 to nokia n96,
firmware version 30.x.
Mfe doesn't work with charm here.
I have attached log file for your further help.
I have to uninstall it and reinstall it every.
Mail For Exchange Error -15032 is one of the errors.
Hope to hear very positive from you.

I think the only thing you can try now is a hard reset. Unfortunately it means that all the data in your phone's internal memory (C: drive) is lost, so unless you've done a backup recently...
With the phone switched off, press simultaneously the 3, * and green 'call' buttons. Keep them pressed in and switch the phone on. Do not release them until you see signs of life such as the Nokia logo or the region selection screen.
It may take somewhat flexible fingers and more than one attempt to do this.
If it doesn't solve the problem then your only course of action is to take your phone in to your local Nokia Care Point.

N96 (firmware 30.33 ,lastest version) BT connectio...

Hi, I got one problem with my N96(firmware 30.33 ,lastest version) with NOKIA headset BH-904. In the first week, there was NO any problem in BT connection. After that, my N96 would cut off BT connection with BH-904 every time about 3 seconds right after recognize & connect. My N96 is able to connect other BT headset. My BH-904 is also able to connect other cell phone. It seems to be a N96 BT compatibility problem !!!!! Can any NOKIA guys fix it ???

Dear friends,
I'm not a real technology expert - but guess what. I bought BH-904 and used it succesfully about 1.5 weeks with E71. No problems at all. But then BH-904 just disconnected. And then never were able to connect more than 30 seconds with E71. Just like that.
Nothing helps: Resetting or charging the BH-904, deleting all BT pairs in E71, factory reset of the E71, uploading the latest firmware on E71, resetting and building all the settings from scratch. Always the same result - BH-904 connects to the E71 and disconnects in 2...30 seconds. Always the same.
If connecting to a new(another phone, seems to stay connected longer time - but no experience whethet the same happens in one week.
E71 works fine with BT with a computer. Worked one year with BH-900.
I had no other option than return the BH-904 for repair.
Rgrds, Henrik

Zen Vision:M - firmware problem

Hello!
I'm having some trouble with my Zen Vison:M 30 GB (I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit with SP2). After resetting the player I got the message "Firmware problem". The player displays this message until the battery is empty and if I reset the player once again it takes approximately 5 minutes "rebuilding libraries"(at least that's what I think it's called in English)?and then the "Firmware problem" is back.
Well, then I downloaded the MP3 recovery tool from Creative. After recharging the battery the recovery tool recognizes my Zen, downloads the firmware and... tells me that the player is not longer connected (it is actually).
Does anyone know how I can update my firmware or reboot the player? Any help would?be appreciated!!
Greeting from Anders Hansen, Denmark

It would be best to update the firmware on the XP computer. If you have WMP on the Xp computer you will need to rollack to WMP0 for the firmware file to see the player & update it.http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...ionofthePlayer Emailing Creative will? tell you to come here & you already are hereMessage Edited by coachop94 on 07-20-2009 03:29 AM

Zen Vision M Firmware Problem!!! Can't deal with this thing any more...

Can't deal with this thing any more...3 Hello friends I'm new in the forum
Well as the title mentions, I'm about to throw this thing oute of the window!!!
It's a 30 GB Zen Vision M, I own it ,5 years now...
I have read all the relevant posts in the forum about this player, I tried my best, nothing really worked.....
So now I have a Zen which only boots in the recovery mode!!
I have Cleaned it Up, Formated it, and tried to reload its firmware BUT when I connect it and try to reload it, in the end it always says Firmware Upgrade Failed!!Really can't understand it!!!!!
I've communicated with Creative, i wasn't at all satisfied with their responses... I think what they're trying to do is to avoid me, and earn some time with really useless suggestions which I had already told them won't work!!!So in the end they wanted me to send my Zen in Italy and pay more than 100 Euros for what an ,5 year old mp3 player?No I prefer buying a new Cowon with that amount of money!!!
Anyways I'm pretty mad now, so I'll move to the subject..
I have Service Pack 3 Windows XP in my computer, and I did roll back on the Media Player 0 from the I had, using the instructions from a previous post. The truth is that it rolled back with less steps than it showed, and I say that because it mentions in a step that in the add-remove programms, in the Windows XP-Software Updates section, I should find a Windows Media player thing which really doesnt exist and I suspect it's the Service Pack 3 because I have done the same in a SP2 and worked exactly as the steps said..Anyway the fact is I have Windows Media Player 0 now!!!
Please someone tell why can't I upgrade my firmware... I can't deal with this anymore!!!!

So you say that I actually have the Windows Media Player 0, because my Zen is being recognised..
I have rebooted it several times but its just the same thing...it shows firmware problem!!
Why isn't this player working?I've seen many people, not only from here, who have the same exact problem and they gave up on their mp3... I dont have this kind of luxury to buy a new one!!I don't know whether Creative has put on this a "time bomb" or is just faulty, but I really wish it could be saved..
I'm saying it is WMP0 because the firmware file sees the player. The computer can recognize it but with WMP components that firmware file would be grayed-out..So when you reloaded the firmware did you choose "reload firmware" Before you connected it's?(That is what erases the firmware prior to uploading the firmware. If you did not do that it could cause it to fail.Do these ste

Open the firmware file,On the player format>cleanup>choose reload firmware, then connect & run the firmware file.

Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution wo

I have a Zen Vision 30GB (not a Zen Vision M or W, just a Zen Vision). On Friday I was trying to add songs to my Zen and halfway through adding the songs I got an error on the computer saying "player not connected". So I undocked the player, turned it off and reset my computer. Saturday morning I turned on my Zen to try to add songs again and I got the error message on my Zen?"Firmware Problem" and it put me in "Recovery Mode". The first thing I did was try to reload the firmware, but when I plugged the Zen to the computer it says "docked", but I cannot move through the menu. When I unhook it from the computer I can move through the menu. BTW I am running Windows Vista 32-bit. I have uninstalled the Zen software and installed the software off the Creative website for Vista, but when I try to run the firmware it says "Player not connected, please connect player."? When I plug the player in via USB my computer recognizes it and prompts me if I want to sync my player, so there isn't anything wrong with my USB connection. The?Device Manager recognizes it however Windows Media Player does not. I get the same error message when I try to do the Recovery Tool on the Creative website. I have looked for solutions on the forums and just doing Google searches, but I have not been able to get anything to work. Please help me!? The player is less than a year old. I have never had any problems with it before, never been dropped or anything like that, so i am not sure what is going on. Any help or suggestions would be great!? I sent an email to customer support yesterday and the reply I received this morning was no help. First they thought I had the Zen Vision M, even though I specifically said I had the Zen Vision and gave them the serial number and everything. I sent them back a message today and hopefully they can help, but it is frustrating having to send an email and wait around for a reply.

Re: Zen Vision 30GB Firmware Problem - No solution works\ I recently had this problem with a player i got off Ebay. What I did was format>cleanup>reboot the device thru the recovery screen on the the player. Problem solved . Be advised this will erase all the files (music ect.) http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ap&thread.id=3

I ended up giving up a while ago and bought a microsoft zune. It is not as good and i miss my zen. If anyone can give me some info it would be much appreciated.

Firmware problem with zen ex

Can anyone help me with this issue. I get the message firmware problem after I turn my player on and it tries to rebuild the libraries. I have tried to update the OS in the hope this would fix it but I got the same error. As you may have guessed I am new to this and have only had the player for month.

*URGENT* Firmware Problem On Zen To

Hey,
Ok so i was updating my firmware using the latest
and legit download from your website when an
error occured.
Now whenever i boot up my ZEN TOUCH i
get "Firmware Problem" and it goes into recovery
mode. I have tried updating on 2 different
computers and i have done it with the AC plug in
but still nothing works. The error i get when i
try to update is that (even though the computer
recognises the zen) the update firmware
application does not recognise and asks for it to

recognise it)
Please can you guys help?

I have also tried reverting to wmp0 but still on both computers no resultMessage Edited by Drakhra on 0-5-2006 03:32 PM

Interesting... I burnt all the necessary software to a CD (which included: JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe [Creative Zen Touch Drivers], ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03.exe [Old Firmware update], and ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe [Latest Firmware update]). loaded the CD onto a laptop. Installed JB3MV2_PCWDRV_US__30_03.exe which are the drivers for my creative zen touch. With my Creative Zen Touch plugged in via USB port. it asked me to reconnect the device. I reconnected it. I attempted to install Firmware: ZenTouch_PCFW_L4__0_03 it gave me the same error before. Then I double clicked firmware ZenTouchP4S_PCFW_LB_2__0.exe and it recognized my Creative zen and is currently updating the firmware. Suggestion:if you have all these files on the computers try uninstalling and then reinstalling. Might be a trial by error thing. Hopefully this hel

I need help , 8GB ZEN has 'Firmware Problem' mess

Hi there I'm from Singapore & I bought a 8GB ZEN from West Mall's Harvey Norman last Oct .
Eariler on , I realised that my ZEN has a 'Firmware Problem' message displayed on the screen . I try as might to reset the player countless times but no matter what , the message still appears & to make things worst I tried to call the customer/techincal support hotlines but they're closed for the day :S
I don't know what happened , it was still working fine this morning when I brought it to Uni . Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
Thanks
Karen

If you get the firmware error, you can go into the Recovery mode by holding down the Play/Pause button while turning on the unit. Then do a 'Reload Firmware'. This will clear the firmware. Download and run the Firmware update from the Creative website for the Zen. This should reaload the firmware with the latest version.
If that fails, just bring the Zen and the receipt down to the Creative service centre and they will take care of it.

N96 - Firmware 30.0.33 Changelog? Anyone?

Where can I find the N96 firmware 30.0.33 changelog?

changelogs contain the changes made from previous firmware versions to the new firmware version updates. however, these are considered confidential information by Nokia and are not released into the public domain. your best bet is to read up on users subjective experiences by Googling for the firmware changes/improvements/bug fixes etc.
please throw some kudos our way, it would mean a lot to us
If you found this or someone's comments helpful or like what that person has to say, please give some Kudos to their post!

If you are having firmware problems, enter h

Ok, if you are having firmware problems, like you can do nothing to your mp3 (in my case Zen Vision: M) or you're stuck in recovery mode because you erased your firmware and now you pc isn't recognizing your mp3 and you can't upgrade you firmware, don't worry, I got trought all of it and my Zen is now working =D I had to do a lot of things in order not to loose my mp3, and one of those things was reinstalling my windows xp =/... took me 2 or 3 days to install everything again and put the whole pc in order, but once it was finally done, I was able to upgrade my firmware, so if you are having this kind of issue, you can reinstall you operational system and it'll go back, at last came back with me But before reinstalling it, here a few things you can do: try to reinstall you USB drives, and when I say reinstall I really meant it! Fully unnistall it, get your motherboard cd drive and install it again, before downloading any upgrade for your USB, try it as it comes from the cd, if it doesn't work, then upgrade your USB drive. Since I had to reinstall everything from my computer, that includes that I had to reinstall SP and SP2, so if reinstalling USB doesn't work, you can also unnistall SP and SP2 and see if that can work, although is pretty hard and annoying to do it, if you really like you MP3 and if you don't want to waste more money on it, I highly advise you to do it. So after you reinstall SP, SP2 and USB and your mp3 is still coming up with firmware error, DON'T WORRY! Go to creative.com, look for support, download, and check for firmware download, they have firmware upgrades, mine goes for the name of Creative ZEN Vision:M 30 GB Firmware .62.02, at http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=4&x=8&y=9 If still none of these settings worked for you, then you can reinstall your operational system, having in mind that althought it was very simple for me (yeah, I know something about computer and I've reinstalled my XP a ton of times), it can get some people into trouble and it can damage your HD if you have no clue on what you're doing. If that's your case, call someone you trust to do it. You can also find some tutorials at the internet teaching you on how to do it. I hope this can help all of you that had the same problem as I did Anything else I can do for you, just ask.YoursMonttanha

My player is currently stuck in recovery mode. My player isn't supported by the mp3 recovery tool offered on this site. I have been thru 3 micros because of the jack problem. On my 4th episode I finally had a friend that works in computer welding fix the jack for me. It has worked flawlessly for .5 years now until I had this recovery mode freeze happen. I was hoping I would be able to get it going thru the help of Creative or some of the Gurus on this site. Well, I have given up. So, I thought I would go and check out some of the players similar to mine and order a new one. Well I was going to check out a 6 Gig player and they want $250 for it. The new 80 Gig Zune is $250. Not to bring up another player but to me, that is a no brainer. I don't really have any use for a player that big but for the money and what you get compared to what they are offering here, Creative isn't leaving me too much choice. My wife still has a Micro Photo but I guess it will be time for me to step up and try something different. I really like staying loyal, but Creative isn't really giving me any competitive choices to do so. I would like to say thanks to all the nice people on this site. I really appreciate all of the information on here.

Nothing after "Firmware Problem&qu

Hi there, Ima noob, and I just recieved a second hand Zen touch and thought it was great for the first day. I started by downloading the drivers, no problem, cool now I can manipulate things. Next I downloaded an application, still no problem. I syncronized the player and the computer to try to save some of the music before I started to add and delete. Did not work right, but no worries, most of the music was not of my taste. Anyway here is the deal, I downloaded some mp3's from a file to the player and the computer said it was done. Now it is locked up and after a reset it says "re-building library" and then goes to the "firmware problem" and there is nothing after that. Neither of my computers will recognize the player and nothing seems to work. Can I retrieve this at all, or is it now a 2 day old paperweight?ThanksSteve

Well, see, now that was the problem. I could not understand how to do that. I had clicked on a link and it said to hold the power button while re-installing the battery. So I did and got no where. I may not be the sharpest hook in the tackle box, but Im not completely out of it either. Well long story short, and long searches, and many differing tries, I finally found the detail that I had missed earlier and got to the recovery screen(even that didnt work immediately). It all is working normally (as normal as it sounds like?that they can)?ThanksSteve?
