Nokia 5800 v50 firmware update gone wrong

Hey guys,
I installed v50 firmware over the air. I had to uninstall some programs because the update complained of lack of space, so I uninstalled Ovi client and related software and some location aware thing that I don't remember the name.
Then flashed the firmware... all went well, phone turned on.
While on the home screen after some seconds I got a message saying that something failed to install (it didn't say what). I still was able to use my phone however, now the camera software doesn't work.
Any tips ? Do I need to do a hard-reset on the phone and install firmware again ? And how can I do a hard-reset ?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, since there is a space problem a hard reset would be a good option before reinstalling. Remember that it deletes everything so make sure you have a backup.
A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
2.) Reinsert battery
3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • Firmware Update Gone Wrong

    I'm on a 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, trying to install the Macbook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.3.
    It won't install.
    I follow the directions, and on restart, it still prompts me for the flippin' install, and says to rinse and repeate. On reboot, it does not bring up the firmware update status bar that I'm used to seeing on previous updates... but instead, just boots as normal.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated !

    Thanks for the help everyone.
    It is indeed a 15 inch, and I did just try the 1.0 update, then the firmware update again, but no dice. It still won't boot up and do the update for some odd reason.
    Here is my hardware configuration fwiw:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.2 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache (per processor): 4 MB
    Memory: 4 GB
    Bus Speed: 800 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP31.0070.B00
    SMC Version: 1.16f8
    As you can see, the SMC is not at the correct number either.
    Any suggestions on how to proceed would be appreciated.
    Thanks !

  • Nokia 5800 xpressmusic firmware update

    I am trying to update the firmware on my phone. I have tried to from the phone using *#0000# only to be told to add a server profile? I downloaded ovi suite to my pc and connected my phone via usb. Halfway through the update, ovi says that it cannot find my phone anymore and I need to disconnect the phone, turn it off and on again and re-connect it. Even after doing this numerous times ovi still can no longer detect my device.
    Current software version V 21.0.025
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi thanks for your advice but this message appears after the ovi suite has shut down the phone and it has re-started. I click on the phone - pc suite connection when prompted after re-start and then this warning appears saying it has lost connection and to unplug the phone, restart it and replug it back in. If I press ok at the bottom it just continues to show this warning again after about 10 seconds. I don't have the sw update app on my phone it must be running on a very old version

  • Nokia 5800 apps and updating firmware

    Hi all
    Quick question regarding installed apps and updating the firmware... I install all my apps onto the phone itself rather than the memory stick. Firstly i've been told that this isn't a good idea (i'm not not sure why) Can anyone think of any reasons? I do it as I've found some apps do not work when they are on the memory card for some reason.
    Anyway, since they are all on my c: of the phone will updating the firmware delete them all? I'm not sure if a firmware update resets it back to factory settings or just updates it but leaves everything how it is?
    Can anyone help? I would test it but my phone is already up to date!
    Thanks

    The 5800 has UDP (User data preservation) so in theory your data and applications should be safe when you update. However it always better to be safe than sorry so do backup your phone.
    If the phone memory was big enough, I would probably install all applications on it as it runs faster. However the reality is the phone memory is very small and you will run low on phone memory after just a few applications. So a balance is required where some applications which are perhaps used more often and those which will only work from the phone memory are intalled on it., The remainder will unfortunately have to go on the memory card. 

  • 5800 v50 software update problem

    I just updated my phone to this v50 firmware as it hadn't been done in a year or so and i wanted the newer features....it installed ok according to Ovi suite but now the phone is un-useable due to the screen scolling diagonally and being offset by 10mm to the right with little or now touch screen ability..the bottom half of the screen is just speckles.
    V50 is the latest available for the phone code and i've tried hard and soft resets with no joy.

    Just wondered have you ever replaced your screen? You may be interested in this post:
    /t5/Software-Updates/HELP-updated-5800-to-v50-firmware-and-screens-gone-crazy/m-p/783559/highlight/t....
    Myself and 'popdown' (mentioned in the above post) have replaced ours so depending on your answer this may or may not be the reason for a wrecked screen layout!  If you have was it done by yourself and was it an official 'Nokia' one or not?

  • NOKIA 5800 V50.0.005. PROBLEM PLEASE HELP.

    HI everyone,
    I updated my NOKIA  5800 from v40 to v50 through over-the-air.
    I didn't got all the features like quickoffice, cherry 2.1, Ovi music, Lifecasting, Rihanna servicelauncher.....etc
    My update package was only of 9.8 MB.Now I too can't reinstall the update through my NSU or OVI updater as the latest version of NSU is not showing any option to reinstall or repair...Please help in solving the problem . I want all the features of v50.0.005 in my NOKIA 5800.THANKS..

    If the update is not available for you, then its not. Just wait for it
    Reasons why a phone cannot update:
    1. It is a country variant - country variants often get the updates later, or have updates skipped altogether. A Turkish country variant product code for example, skipped v40 and updated from v31 straight to v50.
    2. It is network branded - phones acquired from network providers or these providers' stores SIM free are branded, and will not get updates until the networks approve and modify the updates to their liking.
    3. Special editions - These special editions are chartered editions and may never get updates unless taken to a Nokia Care center.

  • Nokia C3-00 Firmware Update 8.63!!!! DON'T UPDATE!...

    Is anyone else having problems with it? 
    I've just sent Nokia this email:
    "Hello,
    I have had the Nokia C3-00 since January 2011 and to be quite honest I am very disappointed. The phone cost me £80 and I thought for that £80 I would be getting a very decent model. There's nothing wrong with the actual phone itself, more the firmware that Nokia has decided to put on it.
    I first bought the phone with firmware version 4.XX and then updated it via the Ovi Pc Suite to 7.20, I then noticed some problems with this firmware and waited and waited for Nokia to produce a firmware update. It took 7 months for you to develop and release another; 8.63.
    I've had this firmware installed for less than an hour and I'm already regretting installing it (exactly the same way I felt about updating to 7.20) I'd like to know what benefits the latest firmware actually gives me? So far I've found the following that don't work:
    - Can't delete messages.
    - Mail stops at loading screen.
    - Ovi Store won't work. (Conflicting applications)
    I've tried turning the phone off and on again, Factory resetting the phone but nothing seems to work. 
    On the other hand though, you managed to get rid of the duplicate "Communities" icon. Congratulations. 
    I feel as though I've bought a phone that hasn't been tested before sale properly and as if Nokia has just pushed it aside even though it still clearly has lots of problems.
    Now, I'd like to know what you're going to do about this.
    Thanks,
    Tj"
    I just can't believe they replaced bugs in their firmware, with EVEN MORE bugs. It's ridiculous.

    I agree, it is better to avoid updating.
    After the update the phone works OK and the built-in applications also in my case. However, what I loved from this phone is that it supports Java applications. The new firmware does not allow any application do not coming from Ovi store to work properly. I used to use the gmail application and the Google maps one, same for other applications from non-recognized providers. This considerably changes the rules and I consider this as cheating. I will write a complaint letter to Nokia very soon.

  • Nokia C3-00 Firmware Updating issue

    I am trying to update my Nokia C3 from V 4.45 to V 7.20 through nokia software updater. After 10 min remaining timer shown, I get an error message "Software update failed. For optimum connectivity, your USB cable should be...". I tried updating on desktop and laptop too but it gives me same error. Any idea how to resolve this issue?

    Hello nokia, i am very much dissapointed by updating my nokia C3-00 firmware version from v4.65 to v07.20. In previous update of v4.65(which was my first update) everything was working great, but now after updating to v07.20 it shows so many bugs. Even the apps don't run at all, and displays 'application error' all the time. Bottom line - I request to nokia software engineers to take some sudden action and please provide us ( nokia lovers and believers) a new bugs free firmware for c3-00 as soon as possible. Thanks
