N97 Firmware update - E: Mass memory 100% full -- ...

Help!!!
I just did an firmware update on my N97 to v11.2.021 and when the phone restarted I got a message that E:\ (mass memory) is completely FULL.
And my F:\ (a 1GB memory card) shows corrupted. **bleep**!?? I'm glad I didn't store anythign important there.
I looked up via the File manager and sure enough, the E:\ (mass memory) show 0 MB free. I opened it up.. but I can't quite tell what's takign up all the space.
I see a few weirdly named/weirdo character filenames.
Can somebody please help?!! Is there a way to roll off the update?!

Okay.. here's what I've done. The phone was working alright after the update (maybe just a tad slower) and I didn't notice any other issues except for E:\ filling up.
After a while.. when I'd use File Manager in the phone to browse to E:\.. I got a (memory corrupted) message. So my E:\ was pretty much done/gone.
So I did the hard reset *#0730# and then from the File Manager.. did a 'Format Memory' on E:\ and this cleaned E:\ up.
BUT... all my pre-loaded US map data is now gone. The lady at the Nokia Flagship store had told me the N97 came with pre-loaded US maps. They're all gone now.. oh well.
But i'm still effin annoyed that the update didn't work though.. so Nokia still gets a thumbs-down in this department.

N97 Software Update C: Phone Memory

I just happened to check my Sofware update from my phone and noticed a "N97 C: Phone Memory" update.
Description
This update reorganizes the C: Phone memory to optimize it for more user memory available for possible SW installations on this drive.
Version 7.1(1)
Is this new? And has anyone did it yet? What exactly does it do?

you are welcome and hopefully next firmware update is to follow really really soon. and that for us n97 users will be great news ! its supposed to address some really annoying things like bt connections for some and of course my infamous charging issue.

Mass memory always full

hi there.
i was wondering if anyone can help me
i have had my N97 for bout 3 months now n i the fone is the best i had. until recentley. every time i go into a application like music and pictures it says that my memory is full and delete some memory. but i would understand if it was full but i have more than 28Gb left which is confusing me. i was wondering if anyone can help me
thanks
danny

that is a easy solution when you go in to your menu click message, then when in your message screen click options then settings then on that menu that comes up click other settings then to change memory. it should say phone memory, mass memory, and memory card(if you have a memory card you can save it to there) and select where you want to save it to and then your done.

N97 Firmware Update - What's Working!

I've installed the firmware update v11.0.021 dated 15-06-2009.
Here a brief report on what I've found working so far on a black Euro model which I'm using on the Optus network in Australia.
1) Long key press now working to select a number on virtual keyboard
2) Backlight still iffy - sometimes it is working with one full click of the lock switch instead of two or three clicks.
3) Voice command working after a soft phone reset with microSD removed.
4) Signal strength appears to have improved as I'm now showing 2-3 bars in a bad reception area that previously only ever registered 1 or none.
I'll add to this as I discover other things.

Hi all
When is this firmware getting out to the rest of us? I have decided not to use this phone untill I get it updated coz I was begining to hate it, kept crashing on me, I have already put pen to paper so Orange own my a?@ for the next 18 months.
C'mon Nokia you promised us an iphone killer, made us wait for months then go and deliver a half baked phone, what happened this time??
I turned down the Iphone for the N97, so please get it up to speed.
Hit Kudos if I Helped out.

Next N97 firmware update?

It has been ages since I got my N97 and yes we all know that Nokia admitted that it was a complete failure as a phone let allone a flagship but still they could help in removing the bitterness from us a little bit.
It has been ages (or it seems so) that the N97 got a firmware update. I mean the 5800 got one recently for Christ's sake!!!
I am really hoping that an update (a really GOOD AND MAJOR ONE ) is around the corner.
Is it possible to get an expected date Nokia?

I wouldn't hold out much hope. And if/when the update is released, there will be a further delay before your network deigns to pass it on (unless you have an unlocked N97) ...

N97 Firmware updates but Ovi suite and SW update t...

I have updated my firmware to the version 11 twice now. Once using the Ovi suite and once using th PC Suite Software updater. When I go to the SW update app in my N97 it still says "Phone Software - Important" but the details just say it's the same firmware update I've already gotten. I'm thinking this may hinder my ability to get the new NGAGE, Maps, etc. updates. How do i fix this?
Thanks for the help!!

try this *#7780# default code is 12345 you will not lose any data, you will have to reset your settings possibly. and then turn the phone off for few minutes. turn in back on , go to the software update in the application folder and refresh the avaliable updates by going to options on the left hand side. see if this will help any
oh and btw you have updated your phone you can check this by *#0000# pluging this in if it is v11 you are good to go

N97 Firmware update v2 bricked phone

I own an unlocked N97 in the UK, and after waiting discovered that the v2 firmware has finally been released!
So, I backed up my phone, installed the firmware update (which completed successfully) and the phone rebooted itself.
It booted fine, and then the annoying email wizard popped up and the 'phone stopped responding. I left it for 15 or so minutes to see whether it would start responding to unlocking etc and it didn't. I tried switching it off using the power button and, as I expected, it didn't even register that I'd pressed the button. After a couple of minutes of messing around with it I removed and replaced the battery and switched it back on... now it just sits on the white screen with the blue Nokia logo, no sounds, nothing.
I have tried leaving it to see if it finishes the boot process (after half an hour it's still sitting there...), I have tried taking the battery out for 10 minutes before trying to turn it back on and the same thing happens.
Anyone got any ideas, or is this going to require yet another replacement handset? (given that this is now the second N97 I'm on...)
Out of the two N97 owners in this house, we've now had 5 N97s between us, I can't say I'm impressed.

Hard reset the phone using the keys and you should be fine.
Turn your phone off AND simultaneously press these four buttons circled in red.

EFI firmware updated. Now fans on full all the time.

I updated the EFI firmware since Apple suggested it.
I have done the troubleshooting (turn off and unhook all the cables {for a week!}, open it up and reset the button) and have had no luck.
I called Apple and of course since I'm just out of warranty, I have to pay to have them tell me the same troubleshooting thing again.
I wish I could go back to the 'bad' firmware I had before, but cannot.
<Edited by Moderator>

Glad it works now. Maybe firmware updates should be done with system stripped down, some voodoo there.
I had and saw a lot of problems with 10.5.1 and would never touch it, very flaky and unstable with some things and needed a dose of Disk Warrior even. I wouldn't even give it the dignity of calling it beta let alone release candidate, I'd go all the way back to 10.4.11. But still not certified for 10.5.4+ seems odd (10.5.4 is what the current retail DVD carries).

N97 Firmware update, help needed!

hi,
i have following problem... i am a mac user, so i cant update my firmware.
got a pc from a friend, windows xp service pack 3, to update my firmware... installed the new ovi suite from beta labs, works good, phone recongnised etc....
if i try updating from ovi suite, i get following error when the programs wants to download the software: internal error 625.
when i try to update through nokia software update app, it can connect to the phone, but then can't identify my nokia n97...
so both ways aren't working. does anyone have a clue why?
thanks
alex

I also have the new MBP with the C2D, and i checked everywhere to see if i needed the firmware upgrade, and couldn't find it anywhere. All the references that i found were toward the old MBP, not the new one. One question about your boot camp tho, does your cpu constantly run at about 75% load in windows, because i just installed boot camp with XP pro today, (NO problem with firmware that i found) and i was always under load. Might be something to look into.
PS, mine is 1.12f5, just like yours

N97 firmware update complications

I'm not sure if its just me having this problem but its been doing my head in for ages and I can't work it out. Basicaly I've had my N97 for a while and attempted to update its firmware to the latest version but this is where I have problems.
I copied all my contacts, pictures etc to the Nokia Ovi suite. I then followed the instructions it gave me when i clicked update firmware. I then plug in my phone to the PC using the USB. It then says its updating, gets to 15% and then says its lost connection to the phone even though the USB is is still connected and untouched.
I'm using Vista and my phone is still on version 10 and really wants to update it. Thanks if you can help

Try Nokia Software Updater, you can still backup with ovi. If problem persists remove all nokia software from computer, dowload Nokia PC Cleaner, then re-install Ovi suite 2 and NSU. I had a conflict and this worked for me. Hope this helps.
Good Luck

N97 Firmware Update v12

Hello,
Through various sources, I learned that v12 firmware was released on 17th August. Till date, I have not been able to update through NSU as it says that my phone is already up-to-date ! I thought that maybe this had to do something with the product code of my device and that the firmware was not probably released for India. To my surprise, my friend who happens to own a N97 himself happily updated to v12 !
I did a little background research on product codes. To my surprise, his phone had product code 0575724 while mine has product code 0587487. Upon googling these product codes, I found that
0575724: RM-505_APAC_INDIA Black
and
0587487: N97 India CV B
Both are RM-505. Now can anyone please explain to me what is it with two different product codes for a device same country ? In India, we never get branded phones in contract with a service provider. Hence, that possiblity is also ruled out. Also, can anyone let me know, when to expect the update for my device and why do I have to deal with some bugs and slow device when my other friend who lives nearby enjoys the latest firmware ?

N97 firmware update 21.2

The update seems to be great with the following exeption:
It has rendered the music player almost unusable!
With the previous music player, you could press the "Back" button and it would take you to your list of music or podcasts. Now the "Back" button just dumps you all the way out to the phone's home screen (just like the end button.) Now, in order to go to your playlist you have to "options", "go to music library", "albums (or podcasts or playlist etc)" then find the album or playlist you were playing, then find your song or track. That's 5 more steps than necessary. The back button is very inportant with the way this media player was designed. You can't just eliminate it in such a way. What good is the improved scroling in the music player if you take away our ability to navigete.
This would be such an easy fix. Just make the Music player's "Back" buton do what it used to do instead of duplicating what the "end call" button already does.
The media player on a device is very inportant. The one on this device is very ordinary. But i put up with it because I am a loyal and very very patient nokia user. I waited 8 long months for this update. And now you just took my media player away. You are very close to making a 12 year nokia user switch to Android. Nokia, please give me back my "back" button. and don't make me wait a long time for it.
Thank you.

I disagree totally. I am very happy with the change in behavior going from v12 to v21. The new back/hide behavior in the music player does mimic the N95 more closely which is more familiar to me. It allows me to exit the music player while music is playing and multitask more efficiently than before.
First, this must be a bug, nobody whos developing software can be so stupid to do this intentionally!
Second, if you want to exit the music player while music is played (this means HIDING and not EXITING!) you just press the red key, like on any other Nokia. the back key has currently the same function as the red key always had.
Third, you can have five softkeys on the screen in both landscape and portrait mode, so whats the problem just changing one empty softkey (eg. the one below "Back") into a "Hide" key and restore the back button functionality? There is no problem, its very easy.

Hi,
I agree it's an annoying bug.
However, this only occurs if you access 'Music" through the homescreen widget. If you access "Music" through the normal menu & go to Music Library, then press back, you won't face this issue.
As it was mentioned before, this bug was introduced (I believe by mistake) in v20. It will surely be solved out in future firmwares. In v21, it was not solved.
I tested the behavior after i read the first thread about that bug. After adding the music player widget i can't get this bug away anymore. Already did a softreset, a halfreset and a hardreset but nothing helps
I never noticed the bug before because i was always using the player shortcut on the homescreen.
EDIT: god damn buggy lithium **bleep** (this "forum")

N97 Firmware update v22.2.110

I can see the v22.2.110 for my N97 (RM-507), through the Software Updater. But am not able to update it through OTA or through the NSU app. Anyone facing a similar issue ??
Also i cannot see the v22.0.110 to update my phone.

Why it was necessary to open a new topic for this problem? The V22 issues topic is already exists. Anyway I suspect that the V22 is not released for your product code yet. It will be released soon.
