No firmware update options on Nokia E6-00

My Nokia E6-00 is currently running firmware v. 021.014 (011-05-26, RM-609), which was on the device when first purchased (SIM free, unlocked). I understand from the Nokia web-site and elsewhere  that there has been at least one subsequent fimware update  (currently v. 22.014) with minor bug fixes.
However, I don't get offered any such updates, either OTA using the E6's SW updater, or alternativeky via Nokia OVI suite (v. 3.1..1.90) on a Windows7 PC.
What am I doing wrong?

  • Firmware update on my Nokia E52 only run java game...

    Hi, I made that day Firmware update on my Nokia E52 and then update-s all right, only run java games and their sound is gone whether he shall be ON. Anybody have a similar problem and a solution for it?? Firmware-v 052.003 but the date is Cot. 29, 2010) will be happy if you give me an idea how to fix it! I tried quite moratoria preinstall, reset backup I have not done, unfortunately the old Firmware.

    Okay, you are using a MacBook so I am not sure how much help I can give since I use a PC with Vista. In the latest version of Ovi Suite, once the update file has been downloaded and the installation starts, the computer will give your prompts that the phone is disconnected via USB, the phone restarts, the screen flashes, etc. I just leave it alone and after the progress bar on the Ovi Suite ends my phone is updated. I currently have v40. The free maps is available only to v31 and above for 5800 if I remember correctly.
    If possible please use the Ovi Suite instead of PC suite (at least in my experience it works better), and do not in any way touch your phone during updates, even if it "disconnects" from the computer.
    However regarding to your query as to why it is not available via the *#0000# method (or FOTA), updates are generally released through NSU before FOTA, sometimes with as much as a month in difference because the files in FOTA are not the entire update file but rather extractions from it. For example, the v40 FOTA is 17mb (according to someone who said he had it already), while the v40 I downloaded through Ovi Suite was 128mb.

  • Firmware update problem for Nokia 7373

    Just updated to firmware v5.0 for my Nokia 7373 and everything seem to work fine except when I go access my 'GOTO' menu. Then it crashes my phone ( well it's freezes my phone up).
    I go through the update as required with the Software update - even tried reinstalling it and still gets the same result.
    Can anyone help me out either revert back to the old firmware or fix the problem?
    Thanks
    (P.S. I would take it to a repair center except I bought the phone in China and I live in Canada and I don't think the phone is officially out yet in Canada)

  • Suggestion for next firmware update - Nokia 5800

    If anyone from nokia is reading this in the next firmware update for the Nokia 5800 XM can we have the facility of have the name of the title track of a song scroll from left to right whilst the song is playing, as at the moment it scrolls once and then stops so if its a song with a long title all you can see is just half the title after its scrolled once, and also maybe a way as the song is playing of seeing the details of the song playing (like the tags for artist, Kbps, song title, album name) by clicking the onscreen softkey/options button. And also this can be extended to the contacts list where the name will scroll from left to right to show the full contact name when you press on it, at the moment it doesn't do that.

    Unfortunately the care centres are the only people that can help you.
    Any other methods that you may read about on other forums will void your warranty and cannot be discussed here.

    Am new to this discussion. I've downloaded the latest N70 (code: 0539240) firmware update from the nokia official site. when i start running it, it shows starting application and stays like that for hours nearly 2hrs. I tryied running with the pc suite already installed but it gave the same result. Should i wait longer ....is this normal or is there something wrong with this software and why does this software need an internet connection for the update.
    Any help wud be greatly appriciated !

    i have same problem dude..
    this problem starting from nsu version 1.3.7..
    So, in version 1.3.6 there is no problem when running application

    sometimes when u run, nsu_ui_client.exe is not run too, so nsu will make so long to finish loading or will not end loading..

  • E61 Firmware update

    I've a Nokia E61 product code 0537308 with firmware version 2.**** and I've noticed that a new version (3.0633.09.04) is available. So I've installed the Nokia updater software, made a complete backup of the phone and started to update the firmware of the phone.
    Everything went fine until a certian moment the Nokia updater software start complaining that the SIM card was not inserted and give a update failure requesting to insert the SIM card while the SIM card is still in the phone.
    Can this be caused by the fact that the SIM 'PIN code request' is on so everytime the phone is switched on the PIN code is requested. Do I have to put this off when a firmware update is performed?
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the responses
    As predicted O2 were of no help at all (bear in mind O2 is just a brand for carphonewarehouse)
    I dont understand how nokia can provide a firmware update using the Nokia Software Udatater tool and then have it restricted so O2 users can't download the latest. What makes O2 so special (or not in this case) the phones are the same are they not?
    Juding by the other forum topics on the same subject I am not the only one suffering the same lack of support.
    I went back to my Sony Ericsson in October due to the lack of support....maybe Nokia should start to take ownership of this problem and put pressure on O2 rather than relying on users to do that job from them because O2 is not an easy company to get a repsonse from (although the operator did at least try), they pointed me at carphone warehouse who in turn pointed me to O2...... and so the cycle goes on.
    Shame really as the phone as a unit is quite nice, however it's just a nice shiny brick on my desk at the moment ....
    Do Nokia read these forums?

  • Firmware Update 3.18.4

    Hi,
    I have looked at the sticky message at the top of the board from Tont reference: Firmware Upgrade 3.18.4 and have looked in Configuration - Services but cannot find any options for 'Firmware Upgrade' only options are - Remote Access, Windows File Sharing, Media Server, I Tunes Server, FTP Server!!!
    At present I am running 3.18.15
    Can anyone advise?
    Message Edited by Waratah on 12-26-2009 08:59 PM

    The firmware update option is under the system tab but since your already running on the latest firmware (version 3.18.15) then there's no need to do firmware update anymore.
    Cheers

  • Firmware Update for E71s from E-Plus Germany

    Dear all,
    I was wondering why the firmware update for the Nokia E71 has been out and about for quite some time, but there is still no update available for my E71 which I have bought from the German provider E-Plus. It has no branding nor any visible other customizations for E-Plus. It's product code: 0569284.
    Any date for the firmware update?
    Thanks.
    -Franz

    No it isn´t a fraud, the product code only tells you about the software branding (not all software brandings are equally aggressive) and doesn´t automatically means that is has to have operator logos all over the place...
    For more information on that have a look at this.
    Probably the phone you bought was bought from e-plus in some way. Did it come with a e-plus contract? 
    By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

  • Nokia C3 V08.70 firmware update defective.

    I recently updated my c3's firmware to the new V08.70 via Nokia Suite but now i have an extra communities icon and my Opera Mini 6 & several other apps wont run(pre-loaded ones still work) it gives a a ClassNotFound error, i tried re-installing it and uninstalling Nokia Suite, re-installing it but i still have the same problem. I also Reset my factory settings but i still have the same problem.

    hi mate,
    ClassNotFound refers to a Java error, so there must be something botched with the installation of the firmware update. as you have already tried re-installing the firmware, unfortunately your only option now is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect: http://nokia.com/support

    I would like to update to latest firmware version. Kindly help me on this issue.
    Thanks.

    I am also using nokia 5310. I have updated the firmware to 3.63 last week..
    I just installed the PC suite, then the nokia software updater. Connect the phone to the PC and wait till it gets detected by the PC suite. Then Start the nokia software updater, it detected the phone, then checks for update. It found the Firmware update and ask to update. I just click on update and it downloads the update file of 33MB. Then got updated.
    You should have a high speed internet connection before you update your mobile.
    Thank & Regards,

  • Nokia Firmware Update Lacking Accuracy & Consisten...

    I own a Nokia N73 Music Edition, was perfectly working fine since i bought but one day while surfing Nokia web site i found Nokia Software Updater and from then onwards the actual problem started after updating though it was successful, i have a question for who is responsible for making the firmware for Nokia N73 that before launching it on the web for update they don't test it or what, why only we the consumers suffer and i have found that one new firmware update version 4.0839.42.0.1 is available on the site but when i read the discussions page i found that this firmware also has a problem, so i am not going to update this firmware to make my cell the worse.
    Problem i'm facing since the update:
    In the middle of any conversation the phone automatically restarts and this is happening frequently nowadays and i have not installed any third party software in my cell, all the default software's are installed.
    I want my problem to be solved as soon as possible.
    Note: Please test the Firmware before releasing on the site, so that we the consumers don't have to suffer.

    what1 wrote:Question:
    When creating backup what options i have to mark (e.g. contacts, phone settings, messages, etc), so after doing the factory reset can i restore the backup on my phone.
    You should get individual options for contacts/calendar, applications & settings (these are bundled as one option though), messages, videos, photos, music and I think documents/files.
    I can't remember if you get the same options on restore. I think so.
    You can probably not bother with videos, photos and music, especially if you store them on the memory card as that should be untouched by the reset. They also take a long time to back up and I've found it can fail the backup for some reason. Instead I copy them off manually or sync photos, videos & music using Ovi Suite's sync functionality. The backup I do with the backup option in Ovi Suite.
    Oh, and if you have apps installed on the memory card, the phone may try to install them after the reset. If you want to avoid that, then it may be worth removing the memory card for the reset, but it will still try and install them when you put the card back in.

  • New Firmware Update for Nokia N95 (RM-159 ) :Decem...

    Hello All,
    It looks like new firmware update is available for Nokia N95 basic model .
    Earlier Version of Firmware was : 30.0.015
    Now the latest available Firmware was : 31.0.014
    When i connected my N95 to PC using PC-Suite, it notified me about this. But when i searched the internet for change log , i found none. Is it right firmware , why Nokia didn't disclose change log, which it used to do it earlier ???
    I will wait for 2 more days for official communication from Nokia....

    Ok, so no one wants to install this firmware because theyre affraid they loose their freedom?
    Somebody should shine a light on this FW, or nokia has
    done a lot of work for nothing!
