Nokia 5230 - cant update to v20.0.005

Just bought a Nokia 5230 from Argos. It had v11.0.079 firmware installed. I've tried updating the firmware to v20.0.005. I used the *#0000# OTA method. However, the latest firmware that it found was v12.0.089 so I installed it. I've tried again to get v20.0.005 but it says I have the latest firmware.
I'm on a Vodafone contract that I've been on for the last 5-6 years. I have it at half price so never get a phone upgrade so I always just buy a new phone every couple of years or so. I'm on such a good tariff that I prefer to keep it that way.
Any ideas why I can't get the v20.0.005 firmware? I haven't tried it via the PC yet as I dont have the required cable (where can I get one of these?).
Thanks

Firmware is tied to product code not phone model .
In your case it will be Vodaphone at fault .

No brightness adjuster in nokia 5230 new update 40...

how to change or adjust brightness in nokia 5230 new update.... i dont find brightness option in new update... reply asap... i do know the old settings wher brightness option was in settings->phone->display. but nw i dont find the brightness option in the new update...

it wants a usb connection because it writes directly to the memory where the firmware is installed.
since you don't have a usb cable, you can go to a Nokia Care center and ask them to update to the new firmware.

This is the moment when the update program says that connection with the phone has been broken. I've tried to do this update like a hundred times...i restarted the phone...hard reset...factory settings...NOTHING WORKS! Pls... does anyone can give a reason? Because i will not try it again. i'm tired of this...i'm thinking maybe i should go to Sony ericsson... maybe they have better ways to help their "phone users"....but that's just me. Anyway... HELP!

Welcome to the forum!
The clue is in the TMO logo as this 5230 Nuron has product code only accepting firmware that TMO have authorised in the past.

Nokia 5230 wont update

Hi I have a nokia 5230, it keeps saying the phone software needs to be updated to version number 21.0.004, but every time I start the update it just says processing for about 30 seconds then stops and doesn't do any thing, can anyone help?

Try all available options to update viz.
Via software update app installed in phone
By pressing *#0000# in homescreen and pressing options>check for update.
Via pc.
Try at a different time because sometime server may be down.
If nothing works visit your nearest nokia care, they'll do it for you.

Is a chance to get latest software update, and if, HOW?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The map data for all Symbian phones was not updated since July 2013. You have the latest version.
The HERE team thinks, if you need newer map data, you have to switch to Windows Phone 8 or Android.
To get v3.09 of the map application, you need a Symbian^3 device like a Nokia 700. You have the latest version of Nokia Maps for a Nokia 5230. Even with the latest firmware-version for your hardware-type (RM-588) which is not available for your firmware-variant (0597862), there would be no newer map application.
Do you face any concrete issues with Nokia Maps?

I get an error message when using my device to update. What should I do?
"Remote server not responding"
Most likely your Nokia device cannot connect to the Internet or the server is not available. Internet connectivity problems may have several causes, such as a temporary network failure in the operator's network or Internet, or missing or incorrect access point settings for the device updates (or web browser) application. Remember that if your device supports it, you can also use WiFi to connect to the Internet and update.
You also need to have Update Server settings programmed into your device. These can be operator-specific settings (contact your operator for help), or standard Nokia settings as shown below:
Key *#0000# into your phone's home screen or go to Device manager (consult your user guide if necessary).
Select Options > Server profiles > Options > New server profile > Copy = No

New Nokia N8 Cant update Important Software Update...

Hello I have just received my new Nokia N8 booted it up went through the setup etc and noticed that there where a few software updates to be installed I tried to do it on the phone and I just get "Update Failed" everytime. I have also tried it in Ovi Suite and I get "Somthing Went Wrong". I phoned Nokia and they couldnt help me and didnt know what the problem was.
It seems like ALOT of people are having simlar problems on this forum, nokia fix it!
Thanks
EDIT:
1 out of 5 updated installed this time around after the factory reset! I know what is happening the update files on nokia servers are corrupted and when you download the corrupted files they stay on your phone so when you try to install the update again it just uses the same corrupted files rather than download new ones.

Hi,
I'm also having problems to install "Apps update 1.0" and "Videos" , I think I've tried every possible method / workaround:
   SW Update,
   *#0000#,
   Ovi Suite (I even reinstalled the software)
   Soft Reset
   Hard Reset
   Cleaning E:\Private\20019119\[2000f85a]\data
Nothing is working... My brand new n8 can't update.
I'm not going to blame developers with tight schedules (hey, I'm a developer myself) but I'm really disappointed with Nokia QA people... How did a Issue that affects so many people people ever reached production? My advice to involved managers and stakeholders is "nice and slow". It is better to deliver good code two months later than to push unreliable solutions to the clients like you guys just did.

Nokia 5230 Lock issue

Hello,
I am using a Nokia 5230 with firmware version 20.0.005. Recently I have unsubscribed my data plan and deleted all the access points in the Connectivity settings. The issue started to happen whenever i locked the phone and after some time the Select connection message comes up. I am not able to unlock the screen when this message is shown and the only solution is to remove the battery and insert it to make the phone accessible. Recently I also changed the setting of MMS connectivity and S/W update to manual, but the problem still exists. Have any one faced this issue and please let me know if there is a solution. Thank you.

@jeyaganesh22
Welcome to the forum!
Although you would need to backup essential data first, you could always consider resetting device to "out of box" state by keying in *#7370# on dialler followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself).
