Nokia 3120 classic firmware update problem

 Hello!
I tried updating my Nokia 3120 Classic with Nokia Software Updater, and I I've got some problems. When I connect my phone to the computer Software Updater detects it, and everything seems to be OK, but when i want to install the update (or as in this case re-instal it, beacause I've got the newest firmware version)  the program returns errors.
The 'download' step is OK, Software Updater downloads the updates, and when it comes to installing after few seconds I get "update failed, to have the best connection connect your phone to the PC without USB hub..." (i've got polish version of software updater, so that's how I translate it into english).
The thing is, that I've got the best connection! The device is connected to computer via CA-101D cable! I don't know what is wrong, I used to update my Nokia N95, Nokia N82 and second N95, and everythink worked great, but then the new version of Nokia Software Updater appeared, and I can't update this old 3120 : /
I need to update it, help me!
(sorry for my english, I'm from Poland )

Hi scarlet_213, download Nokia Ovi Suite and install it to your computer. Then follow the steps and upgrade your phone. If there is no update available for your phone, this could be due to a number of factors which are outlined in the following articles written by one of our senior users Grischnon: http://techyoddsandends.blogspot.com/     and     http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/branded-phones/
The latest firmware version for unbranded handsets for the 3120 Classic is 10.00. Let us know how it goes.

  • Nokia 3120 classic blutooth modem problem

    Hi,.
    I have a Nokia 3120 classic, on my PC I have Nokia PC Suite and a bluetooth dongle. Now when I connect my phone & PC via bluetooth everything is great, I can sync with my PC, transfer files, update contacts & messages, even send & receive SMS via PC. But I cannot connect to the internet. When I try to it says it is searching for bluetooth modems but none are found.

  • Nokia 3120 classic problem!

    My nokia 3120 classic call volume gets very low at times. This happend 5-6 times. And when i restart the phone, everything is back fine. Please help me how to solve this problem.

    NSU stands for the Nokia Software Updater (you will find the link to download it here) But right nw i saw that you device is yet not compatible . In that case if your phone needs a firmware update then nokia care centre is the only way out.But, before that try all possible things sujjested by other users.
    In case you would like to knw what are the risks involved while updating via NSU, your phone needs to be fully charged. In case the device shuts off in between in process,your phone needs a care centre job after that.you also need to back up your files before using the pc suite and restore it when the update has been done.

  • NOKIA 3120(classic) UPDATE ERROR

    ERROR RECEIVED WHILE UPDATING NOKIA 3120 CLASSIC.
    THE POWER BROKE DOWN!! :-(
    PLS CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING ERROR--DO YOU THINK THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO TAKE IT TO THE WARRANTY OFFICE/NOKIA CARE LINE---????
    Connection to Phone Lost:-
    YOUR PHONE COULD NOT BE DETECTED.PLS RECONNECT THE USB CABLE.
    CLICK RETRY TO CONTINUE WITH UPDATE.
    Update details:-
    while i was updated 3120 classic, after the firmware was downloaded, and during the installation process, the lights went off and my mobile got DEAD.
    after that i reconnected the mobile and the screen of the mobile is blank and the above error is being received!!!
    HEEEEEEEEEELP out seniors!!!! plsssssss
    What's Worth Doing, Is Worth Doing Well!
    All "N-series" are incredible!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Today I also ran into this problem. I wanted to upgrade from v7.16 to v10.00 because my mobile has some annoying freezes but till now I didn't have a USB cable.
    In the middle of the update process my mobile just died and didn't responded only the keyboard started to shine when I tried to switch it on. But I just kept trying to re-run the updater which detected the interrupted update process and offered to continue. It advised me to remove the battery, pull out the USB cable and the charger than reconnect them again and switch on the mobile. I did it as I advised to about 3 times but didn't succeeded, but kept trying and after a while even the mobile keyboard didn't shine at all. Although it seemed completely dead I left it alone with the updater program running and a few minutes later the screen started with a simlpe white background and later on a short text in red characters appeared: "Test mode". Another minutes later it asked for PIN code and worked fine.
    So keep trying patiently and maybe you can revive your phone just as I did.

  • Nokia 3120 classic (message received time is wrong...

    Hi.. got some problems with my nokia 3120 classic. I bought my fone 2 wks ago and decide to upgrade my fone to new firmware version which is 7.16, after the fone was updated i noticed that whenever i received txt messages, the received time is wrong.. it is i think 8 hrs late.. I'm txting my friends and when they reply, the received time display is wrong. Is this a bug for the new version? It's not synchronizing in my phone clock. Of course my phone clock is ok.. Message sent time is ok but the received time is wrong. Any suggestions? Pls help..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    ok.. i've figured out already the problem. it's not on the software update but it is due to the GMT. i noticed that even your dates and time are correct, you must set your correct timezone from what country you were. if the auto update time and date is on, i think it varies on the timezone u set on ur fone so if your timezone is wrong, the message receive time is wrong too. well i already solved this.

  • Nokia 3120 Classic rubish

    I received my Nokia 3120 Classic 2 days ago and since receiving it I have been trying to get the Backlight to stay on for more than 2-3 seconds and have now decided it will not allow it to be changed this makes it the most RUBBISH phone ever produced and I have thrown it in the rubbish bin and will head down to my local phone store tomorrow and pick up a Sony Ericsson or something (Definitely not a Nokia ever again.
    My last phone a Nokia E65 I had to get rid of because it would always drop out of lock and end up phoning people in my pocket also it cut off incoming calls when you tried to remove phone from pocket and you inadvertently touched a button. What the hell has happened to Nokia they were once great now they are just **bleep** (don't care if they remove this or gets flamed as now no longer interested in anything Nokia so won't be back)

  • Nokia 3120 Classic won't disconnect from internet?

    Hi,
    I was wondeirng if anyone can help me?
    I've had my Nokia 3120 Classic for a month or so now, on the 3 network.
    Whenever I load into Planet 3, to check my usage, read the news headlines, or I receive an MMS, I can connect to their internet fine, but no matter how long I leave it my phone does not disconnect.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to disconnect that I can't find?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas or help! 

    I guessed it you were in planet 3 by just reading the subject.
    You are from Australia rite..
    I believe you have a plan with 3 network which connects automatically to the internet.
    If you call 3 they will ask you to call nokia and Nokia will not know what to do cause it is due to your network and push you back to 3.
    The only way to get around this is to delete the access point of planet 3 in access points.
    but you might have to request for the setting every time you wanna use the internet.
    You might also have a problem deleting the access point as it will ask to disconnect first which you cant.
    -So you might have to go offline (flight mode) and then delete the access point.
    However if you do use the internet regularly then it might be an hassle to get the access points every time so instead of deleting the access point edit it so it does not get connected( maybe change the data beareror authentication but remember what you have changed ) so you can re-edit if you wanna use it.
    Mark me a KUDOS if this has helped...

  • Nokia 3120 Classic on Linux

    Hi all.
    Have anyone got Nokia 3120 Classic (http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-3120-classic)  running on Linux?
    I wanna be able to do all that I'm able to do on Windows, but on Linux.  Is that possible?
    Since I'll just run Linux, this is a crucial question in order to buy my new cell phone.
    Thank you very much.
    davi

    You'll never be able to do absolutely everything on a mobile phone in Linux that you can using Windows or Mac software provided by the manufacturer. You will be able to do most, though.
    The three things you usually end up doing while connected to the computer are:
    1) transferring files to/from the phone
    2) tethering the phone to the computer (uising it as a modem)
    3) synchronizing contacts, calendar etc. with the computer.
    1) is easy. You connect the phone in mass storage mode and it behaves like any other bog-standard device managed by the usb-storage module of your Linux kernel. It looks like an external hard disk or a pen drive. Alternatively you can transfer files via bluetooth using, for example, the KDE bluetooth client and server applications. I'm sure equivalents exist for GNOME.
    2) http://linux.sgms-centre.com/nokiafaq/mobile_broadband/
    3) is harder. Apparently you can use kmobiletools but I never did get it working and the software hasn't been updated for nearly 2 years. Personally, I use OVI sync to back up my contacts, calendar entries and notes online, and I have a backup to my memory card scheduled every day (you can't do the latter witn a 3120c AFAIK).

  • Nokia 3120 Classic and iSync

    Dear all,
    I have a Nokia 3120 Classic and a fresh new MacBook Pro 2010.
    I need to syncronize the contacts between the mobile phone and OsX. I tried with iSync, but the program said the mobile phone is not compatible. How can I solve this problem? Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
    Thank you, kind regards.

    Nokia does not have any support for Mac.
    Nokia has very good support for Mac users, in general:

    If they don't have an iSync plugin for your phone, try this Google search:

  • Nokia 3120 Classic - Going Online

    I own a Nokia 3120 Classic and have now figured out how to use it as a modem to connect my computer to the internet, for the purpose of downloading emails. This is very useful when I am on the move and don't have easy internet connection. 
    But I want to know if I can reverse the process when I am at home. What I would like to do is to connect the phone to the internet by connecting to the computer and using the computer's internet connection.
    The computer (XP Service Pack 3), connects to a wi-fi router and I connect the phone to the computer with USB data cable.
    I am aware that it is not possible to connect to the wi-fi router directly with this phone model. 
    Looking forward to some advice. 

    Hi! i am not here to give you a solution. However, i want to know the way to use my 3120 classic as modem to Use Internet in my PC through my Phone. You might be aware that there is some problem saying that MODEM NOT FOUND. I have treid to find out the way but to no avail.
         If you could mail me at [email protected] , the way to use 3120 Classic as modem, i'll be grateful to you.
    Thanking,

  • Nokia 3120 classic sometimes doesn't show name whi...

    Hi!
    Strage things sometimes occur with my nokia 3120 classic cell phone.
    When I receive an incoming call or message sometimes my phone doesn't recognize that the corresponding number is in my address book. By consequence I only see the number which is not practical at all.
    I need to mention that I've copied all my contacts to my SD-card because I add a picture to their profile. Maybe that's relevant too.
    Anyone having the same problem too?
    Kind regards,

  • Nokia 3120 classic display settings

    Hi!
    The "Nokia 3120 classic User Guide" (9207764, Issue 3) in chapter 6. Settings -> Display says:
    Sleep mode -- to save battery power, the display turns black when no function of the phone is used for a certain time
    If I understand correctly the purpose of that option, when it is set to on it should turn off the back light of the display when the phone is not used for some time (a few seconds). By default that option is enabled.
    I tried to disable that option (set it to off) but nothing changed -- the display light turns off very quickly, which is very annoying for example when reading/writing messages. To prevent the display light to turn off you need to press a key every few seconds.
    I also tried to disable the "power saver" option in the display settings but I didn't notice any difference either.
    IMHO, there is a bug in the phone firmware regarding those options. Moreover I thing that user should be able to change the time interval after which the display light is turned off in the sleep mode.
    Another issue with that phone behavior: Using an analog or digital clock as a screen saver (Settings -> Display -> Screen saver) is quite convenient because the default digital clock in top right corner of the display uses very small font. When the keyboard is locked, the screen saver activates after a few seconds of inactivity (that time interval should be adjustable too), but the display light turns off also, which is OK when the keyboard is locked. Now the question is how to turn on the display light (to see the clock in the screen saver) without turning off the screen saver at the same time? Currently you have to do the following:
    (1) press one of the navigation keys in order to turn on the display light
    (2) wait a few seconds in order to activate the screen saver
    The firmware version used is:
    V 07.16
    27-05-08
    RM-364
    Any comments?
    -- rpr.

    Can someone from Nokia please response to this thread? The lack of control over the display light duration is a huge disadvantage of the 3120. It sounds like a small issue, but it is really not. I would recommend anyone who is interested in the 3120 NOT to get it, for this exact reason.

    When I checked about 1/2 hrs ago the operation had finished. It took about 7-8 hours. A .nbu file has been created in memory card. I connected my phone to my laptop and copied that to laptop. Now I'm going to check for a software that could convert .nbu to a human readable format. 
    Can you please recommend me any suitable software?  
    When I searched in google, I found this.

    Is this a good software for my problem?
