  • Nokia N96 Firmware Update issues!!!!

    Hello,
    On the website, it's showing an update named  PR1.1 (or  11.018 / 11.101) however, after I updated my phone (via PC Suite) it's now showing: Software Version: 30.033.098.1.
    More than this, now I have an issue. When I try to launch LIVE TV, it doesn't open no matter what. It's trying to open and then closes itself. Before, with the older firmware 20.xxxxx it at least allowed me to search for TV or something but now it's not working at all.
    Can someone please explain why does the new firmware update is showing 30.033.098.1 and not the PR1.1 or 11.011/.101 and why I'm unable to go through the LIVE TV now?
    Many thanks for your advices/suggestions.
    Best Regards,
    Mr A

    You could try talking to him about his problem rather than just telling him to reset his phone, and if you are just going to cnp the same response in every thread you reply to then at least format it so it is readable
    In this casre I agree a Hard reset is probably called for as his issue is not standard for an n96 running v30
    v20 & 30 are typicaly very stable  with very little difference to the user between them, the one change the user will notice is that the mobile tv ap appears to have been messed with, tho being as most users can't recieve anyway Its not something that is looked at often
    If a hard reset doesn't fix your problem then come back and tell us
    and remeber BACK UP FIRST

  • 5530 firmware update found but not compatible?

    Hi, 
    the phone is a french 5530 (no fimlock, no netlock, a free phone), a firmware update is found from nokia, i can download it from the phone. Then it restarts the phone, and a white screen appears with the update bar. But then it just restarts and on the home screen the message appears that it is not compatible with my network provider? I really want to update... but how?

    I'm having exactly the same problem. I even tried downloading via laptop, but it wont complete the installation.
    I am so sick of my phone freezing or switching itself off I have just rang my contract supplier and they are going to arrange to get a new phone sent out. I did ask if I could have a different make of phone as I don't have much confidence in this one, but they will only exchange for the same.
    Let's hope a new phone solves the issues!

  • N73 firmware update failed but still working?

    Few days ago I saw new firmware for N73 is out. Downloaded program, stared to update firmware.
    After cca. 90% of progress bar I heard same sound you hear every time you plug in/out your phone over USB cable. My heart almost stopped since I heard stories you must not unplug phone during firmware update, that it will not work after that. Suprisingly software offered me to repeat update process!
    I clicked OK and it started all over again.
    Once again after reaching about 90% progress bar instalation stopped with same un plugg sound. This time there was no repeat update offer. I tryed everything but update din't work.
    I plugged USB out of comp and phone and tryed to turn on phone. I wasn't able to turn in on! Then I took out battery, put it back in and turned on phone.
    All worked, menu was in english, but I had option to change it back to croatian again. Installed old programs and they all worked. Voice dialing working, camera working... all working.
    What the hell happened?
    Why installation stopped on 90% and my phone is working without problems on NEW firmware? Bug in Nokia Firmware update software?

    I've understood it's quite normal that the update prosedure may seem to stop even for some minutes and then go on again. The connection between the phone and computer will also break and then reconnect couple of times...
    Are you sure, you did wait long enough before unplugging your phone (at least some minutes)?
    But if your phone has the new firmware now and everything is working fine so I hope there is no problem!

  • Wrt310n firmware update completed but the router will not start!

    I did a firmware update for my wrt310n because it was having to be power cycled twice a day! When I updated it said that it completed but when I tried to reconfigure it it would get stuck at "waiting for router" and when its not configured it did nothing. Help please?

    Did you reset the router...after upgrading the firmware...if not then, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    You can also try the different computer.

  • Firmware update done, but now vodafone mobile connect crashes

    I´m at the end of my tether.
    I have an i-mac running OSX 10.4.8 if I remember correctly.
    Yesterday (2nd October 2007) my mac downloaded a firmware update.
    I let it install the firmware update and then when I tried to get back on the net with my Huawei E220 modem it no longer worked.
    I deleted the vodafone mobile connect program, used my windows xp laptop (with my Huawei E220 modem) to download the mac installation software for the modem, and re-installed the modem on my mac, but I still have the same problem:
    I click on the vodafone mobile connect icon and the icon starts bouncing up and down... but it doesn´t open the programme window, and doesn´t respond - it´s the first crash I´ve ever seen on the Mac. I don´t know a lot about macs and need help with this problem - I even shut the mac down, and turned it on again holding the "on" button in, incase there had been a problem with the firmware. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? please?
    MacIgnoramos.

    doh! even a pc user probably could have told me how to do this:
    1) uninstall vodafone modem program "using the proper uninstall option of the program" - i.e. not simply dragging the icon to the trash can.
    2) re-install.
    3) sit back, and enjoy the mac again.

  • N96 Firmware Updates

    I have got N96 today and I want to update the firware from v12 to v20 but FOTA says v30 is available,please any help about this cuz under v30,the feature is supported.I prefer v20 to 30
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     Unfortunately, you cannot pick and chose which firmware to update to. Nokia suite or FOTA will only offer the latest available version for you to update to.

  • N96 Firmware update

    I am aware that a new firmware has been released by Nokia for the N96. However i am not able to get hold of it yet. I have a UK Vodafone phone & contract.
    1.Can you advise how i can install this new firmware?
    2. Will it address the various problems such as:
    a) software crashes and freezing,
    b) phone reboots itself for no reason,
    c) GPS location is not always possible, but when i use google maps on the phone my location is found
    d) Music player will cause the phone to shutdown if you use it for more than 60minutes
    e) battery feels warm when several applications are running or you are doing anything continuously for more than 15 minutes
    3) is it possible i can download the firmware via your website and install it myself?
    4) will i need to unlock the phone to get the update now?
    I have had the N95, N95 8GB and now N96 phones. Sadly they all failed to live up to the hype of matching the power of the IPhone, which i am reluctant to buy. If i cant get hold of the firmware and i still have the software glitches then i may be forced to become another Apple IPhone fan.
    Like most people here we just want a good phone that can do all that you claim it can do.

    hi there Smurph, read this informative article written by one of our senior users Grischnon: http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/branded-phon​es/ i'm afraid what Post007 was trying to say always comes out rather muddled, so i will explain it in short for you.
    Nokia provides the firmware to Vodafone and other operators usually before the generic firmware (or what others call de-branded; unbranded) is released via NSU or FOTA by Nokia. it is then up to Vodafone to modify the firmware to their tastes, or if they don't wish to then they won't. if the firmware is modified by Vodafone it becomes branded firmware and is given back to Nokia who will then distribute it through NSU or FOTA for the specific product codes for that firmware (i.e. product codes will be for the Vodafone variants of the N96). this is why Vodafone tell you to go to the Nokia website to update your phone, no operators actually handle the update processes themselves. another reason they tell you this is to divert the blame to Nokia, and Vodafone not accept resposibility for the laziness/poor attitude taken by their programmers to put out updated firmware for their phones. or excuses for why they firmware is so crippling. so in essence, they're not really being truthful, yes. it's not really Nokia's fault in this case, its often Vodafone's.
    i'm unsure if you can get out of your contract as Vodafone probably has all the jargon to cover themselves for their inadequacies. by preying on the customers lack of knowledge, they suck more unsuspecting customers in to make more money. this should answer your question pretty well.
    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! 

  • N96 firmware updats on a Mac or Windows 7?

    Iv got firmware v12 and would like to update the firmware to v30 on my N96, touble is there seems to be no support to do this on a mac or windows 7???
    I even installed a virtual xp os on both systems, but in both cases the phone is detected and works fine running PC Suite......but in both it fails to detect the N96 when running the nokia updater?
    also using the phones upade option though *#0000# fails as it says no updates avalable from Nokia.  

    Have you checked that v30 is available for your product code, http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/do​wnload-software/device-software-update/can-i-updat​...
    I've heard that some people have managed to get NSU working under Win7, there are a few threads in the SW updates section if you want to search 
    You could also  take the phone to a nokia care point and have them do the update

  • N96 firmware update - product code starting 057

    I've recently bought an unbranded, sim-free n96. The product code is 0573063. I've tried for weeks to try and update the firmware in the hope that this will solve some of the speed issues I am experiencing. I understand that network branded phones need to wait for the network to approve the firmware but why can't I update my phone? I've tried both NSU and FOTA and neither work.
    Can anyone please help?
    Details
    Product code : 0573063
    Firmware : 10.065
    Type RM-247
    Cheers

    I too have the same prob. Bought an Unbranded Factory unlocked N96 and up till just now I have not yet received any update. Am trying twice a day to see what happens, but nothing happens.
    When will we receive the update, our phone is like others!!!

  • N96 firmware updated for vodafone1

    VF have at long last released their crippled version of v11 firmware.
    N96 - RM247
    current 10.065
    update 11.018
    even though its cripled etc - this is just the software overlay - the os enhancements are needed - get it

    i have to agree with psychomania, the suit is just a fancy GUI that links all of the independent launchers together, when you click on the updater icon is just finds the core updater icon in the install directory and runs it, just like clicking on the shortcut icon on your desktop and running the updater like that ! although i have just checked and it seems to be working as you have said so i will let you of for this one
    N.O.B.B.Y

  • N96 Firmware update problem, pls help.

    I've just tried to update the firmware and when it reached step 3/3 (which is updating the software) it returns me an error message of Phone Recovery telling me steps i should take i.e
    1. Remove Battery and charger from phone.
    2. Insert battery and connect charger.
    3. Click Retry n continue.
    4. Press the phone's power button.
    I even did that and it still returns to this same error. Can anyone assist me in this as i'm have no idea what to do now.

    Try this:
    - Have fully charged battery put in device and no charger plugged-in
    - When 'Phone Recovery' dialogue occurs, remove battery but NOT USB cable (IMPORTANT)*
    - Put battery back
    - Press 'Retry' and count to three (21, 22, 23)
    - Press power button on device
    NOTE: It's extremely important detail: first 'Retry' button and then power button on device (NOT vice-versa!)
    *IF you removed the USB cable close NSU and start over.
    If it fails dissconect. Close NSU, power up device, co
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • N96 Firmware update 11.018

    Anyone else installed this. If so - thoughts?

    Installed it a couple of weeks ago and it fixed slow message open/reply bug that was really annoying me. It also improved the overall speed of the phone.
    Not had any major issues with v11.018 at all so it's definitely a worthwhile update.
    @philhirst - Only vodafone can tell you when they plan to release the update as it's the networks responsibility to approve it. Once approved nokia will be able to provide it to voda customers on the NSU or via FOTA. Posting on voda's forum may help speed things along.

  • Seems I need firmware update but it doesn't start

    MacBook Pro 17"
    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz
    Version Boot ROM:  MBP52.008E.B05
    Version SMC: 1.42f4
    Apple SSD TS128A 128Gb, Revision:  AGAB0202
    I always experienced short gaps in responsiveness of my laptop, problably due to SSDrive, but that never annoyed me.
    Than this gaps became more and more long, especially after laptop wakes up and now are annoying.
    So I searched for a firmware update and, according to the scheme reported at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237? ,
    I found my laptot can accept EFI 1.8 Firmware update. But downloaded and launched it my MacBook reports that it doesn't need that upgrade and so all other intermediate Firmware updates for MacBook Pro (EFI 1.6 and 1.7). I connected my Mac to mains, closed all application and downloaded all with Safari 5.0.5. So what was wrong?
    Incidentally in that scheme my MacBook is indicated as "early 2009", elsewhere as "mid 2009".
    Apart from firmware upgrades, what can I do to solve that gaps? Thank you,
    Antonello

    See if you can boot into safe mode by holding down the shift key immediately after pressing the start button. Keep holding the shift key till a loading progress bar appears on the lower part of the screen. It will take a lot longer than normal to start this way. If you have Lion 10.7 installed you can try holding command-R  keys to get intto recovery mode and run disk utility.
