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

  • SMC Firmware update help needed

    I've just got this brand new MBP from Apple. As a MacUser for the last 15 years my work now requires that I get Windose XP- hence the upgrade (I think I would have stayed with my old G4 Ti if I hadn't needed to get XP- but now I'm pleased that I did get this computer after all).
    Anyhow, enough of that. I have to install boot camp and the instructions indicate that I need to check my firmware and to see if it needs updating. This mbp system profiler reads that the Boot ROM Version is;
    MBP22.00A5.B00
    and the SMC Version is;
    1.12f5.
    However to me this is really quite illogical, because this could mean anything as far as I'm concerened- as I can't find any reference to these numbers anywhere else on the Apple site. Can you Apple folks shed some more light on this- and if I need to update, would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction?
    PS, Send my thanks to everyone at Apple for such a smashing Power...ahem...Macbook Pro

    (1) better UI
    (2) new and better browser with the latest flash support
    (3) freer space on the RAM
    (4) a social app for IM like facebook, twitter, myspace e.t.c
    (5) smileys in our Instant messaging (fed up with words like smileysad)
    (6) a UI that wouldnt use up batteries so fast

  • Late 2009 Mac Mini EFI 2.1 Firmware update not needed/already factory installed?

    Here has been my issue of trying to figure out if Mac Mini can handle (and fully use) 8GB of RAM with my current EFI version.  
    I want to upgrade to 8GB on a LATE 2009 Mac Mini that currently has Boot ROM MM31.00AD.B00 and was told to update with EFI Firmware update 2.1 but it does not install saying "This update is not needed on this machine".
    I found various contradicting posts saying that I need my Boot ROM to be MM31.0081.B06 or my machine won't utilize the 8GB fully
    and will slow down in performance and/or crash after the Apple recommended 4GB.
    But here's what I found interesting. Some users have mentioned that the Late 2009 Mac Mini's shipped with updated firmware and don't need this update but could not find a concrete answer as to yes it did ship with it or not.
    Apple doesn't even list a Late 2009 Mac Mini as needing a Firmware update in this list of Firmware updates:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 . Should I just assume that my machine shipped with said update and is capeable of the 8GB? I use this for Logic Pro 9 as a somewhat portable workstation that I can take with me so maxing out the RAM would be ideal for me.
    Any help or clarification would be greatly apprishiated,
    Nelson

    Actually a Late 2009 can take 8GB of RAM and only the Early 2009 needs the EFI update.

  • 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 - 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.

  • 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.

  • MBP C2D Firmware update help

    Currently my MBP C2D has firmware of Boot ROM Version:MBP22.00A5.B00
    and SMC Version: 1.12f5. When attempting to update the firmware to the most up to date version it states "this computer does not need to be updated" even though it does not have the most current version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I too experienced the same thing, and was equally puzzled. Then I read this Special Report about the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.2 at MacFixit. There, rather buried away in a paragraph towards the end, is this statement:
    Not required for Core 2 Duo MacBook Pros Note that (although Apple makes no mention of the fact) EFI Firmware Update 1.2 is not applicable to Core 2 Duo-based MacBook Pros.

  • X230 SSD Firmware Update help

    Hello,
    We are currently having some issues with waking up a X230-2324CTO from a sleep. When awoken from sleep it is unable to open any programs. Programs for example an icon on the taskbar will glow up like if you would normally open a program but then will return to a normal icon like suggesting it was never pressed and no program will open.
    Our hope is that the solution is a SSD Firmware update. The have the system updated with every update available for the X230-2324CTO using System Update but this one remains.
    Tho we can't figure out how to do this SSD Firmware Update. We don't have a CD drive in this model and when using an USB external disk drive (Samsung) we are unable to boot to the CD.
    The question now is can someone provide us with a very clear step by step manual in how to create such a CD the documentation with the update FWSS31 is very poor to say the least. What do we need to create such a CD and how do we need to do it.
    Thanks for the support

    We are using a Lenovo preload of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. We currently have 5 Lenovo X230 2324CTO laptops and all of these laptops have the same problems.
    One of these problems is that when coming into the office and they put there laptop into the Lenovo dockingstations and power up the laptop that when logged in the OS no program is able to load. There sometimes is a delay in this problem that for example they are able to open Outlook or a website but then no program is able to load. As I described earlier the animation for opening a program will occur on the bar but it will quickly just fade away. Also shutting the laptop off is not possible. It is possible to open the charm bar in Windows 8 and go to the shutdown option but on clicking the computer does nothing.
    Another problem is that the user is stuck on the login screen of Windows 8 simply saying Welcome with a loading circle which never stops.
    Only a forced shutdown (holding the power button for aprox 10 seconds) and restarting the laptop will make the laptop work again when either of these problems occur. These problems occur on random days. As I'm in the IT Team I know when a problem occurs and it can vary to a few days, every day or a few weeks even before it starts to show up again.
    I also checked the users and there behaviour in using the laptop but I cannot find any strange behaviour at all. As i also stated before we are running on every update that Lenovo System Update 5 can trow at us. I also installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology the newest version in hopes of fixing some of the problems.
    Thanks for the support.

  • Freeze at startup after System and Firmware update - Help!

    I took the automated system upgrade last Sunday including updates on a bunch of Apple applications, OS X 10.4.6 (it was included if I recall correctly) and a SMC Firmware update. After downloading all files and installing them my iMac restarted. After that the SMC Firmware upgrade started and I followed the instructions ending in another restart.
    This is where my problems began. At this startup I got through the grey screen with the Apple logo and got so far as to the blue screen with the Mac symbol saying something like "starting up". The progress bar started moving and froze after reaching about a fifth of its final length.
    As this was a firmware update I didn't want to interrupt anything so I left it for the night (no progress in the morning) and for the next day. Still no progress when I came home from work so I shut it down (pulled the power cord).
    Efter this I've tried to fall back using the Firmware Restoration CD available at Apple's support page, but this doesn't work. My iMac refuses to start the installation of the old Firmware even though I follow the fallback instructions. (After starting the computer and keeping the power on button pressed I wait for the front light below the screen to first flash rapidly for a while and then do a SOS (three short, three long and three short blinks). The SOS however, never happens, instead the computer proceeds directly to the grey startup screen before it freezes when it reaches the blue screen.
    I have no clue to what to do. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

    minxlj,
    It is not my intention to be rude, however, it is my intention to be direct. Do you have a G5 or do you have an Intel Core Duo, or perhaps even both? Because right now your signature says you have a G5, which has PPC chips in it made by IBM, not Core Duo chips made by Intel.
    The reason I ask is because, just as in another Discussion here in the Intel forum, you are responding to information that appears to not apply to the computer you say you have and you are giving information that, if you have a G5, does not apply to the computers of the folks here in the Intel forum.
    Could you please clear that up by correcting your signature so everyone here knows you are comparing oranges with oranges and not mangos with oranges?
    Staffan,
    As far as the SMC Firmware update and the Firmware Restoration CD, the two items are not related. The Firmware Restoration CD is only for the Firmware Update that came out in mid-April. It is intended for someone whose computer messed up in the application of the Firmware Update and is intended to bring their computer back to its Firmware state prior to the botched Firmware Update. It will not assist you if you had problems applying the SMC Firmware Update from early May.
    If I am understanding your description of your Mac's problem it sounds if if you have successfully installed the SMC firmware update, but now have a possible 3rd party satrtupitem that is not allowing your Mac's OS X to fully boot. You can check to see if both the Firmware Update and SMC Firmware Update have been successfully installed by booting your Mac into safe Mode by pressing the "Shift" key during startup. This boot will take longer than normal because it is verifying and repairing your directory. After the desktop appears, go to Apps/Utilities/System Profiler. In the Contents section, highlight Hardware and Hardware Overview should show; Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03 for the Firmware update and SMC Version: 1.1f5 for the SMC Firmware Update.

  • 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.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    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.

  • HELP! Firmware update failed, need to extract data from unreadable iPod

    Please HELP! I have important data on my iPod that I need to preserve. Here's what I did:
    * downloaded newest iPod software and used the iPod Updater. It assured me the the "Update" process does not touch songs/data on my iPod
    * clicked the Update button. The update failed, citing error writting data to disk.
    * now my iPod will not boot up (folder icon), on top of that it will not mount even in Disk Mode (claims it's unformatted).
    * iPod Updater now offers only the Restore option
    I absolutelly NEED to get the data of my iPod if I am to restore it. The data should still be on the disk (even if the firmware is damadged), it's just a matter of gaining access to it.
    Any chances?
    iPod video Windows XP

    Good luck.
    Sounds like a problem I had with a camera card - and I lost the pictures, and I have yet to restore the camera card - it's still dead, won't even format.
    Take it someplace where they specialize in data recovery - for high fees....
