Nokia 5800 won't update to firmware v40.0.005

Hello,
I have tried to update my 5800 using nokia software updater several times( I am currently on v21.0.025), but no luck. The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect. I know of people who have updated their phones to v40.0.005 without incident.
I purchased the phone in late December '09 and have been trying to update it since the middle of January 2010. I am at a total loss as to why the noka software updater won't detect the newly available software. Nokia them selves said that the update is available in my country(Ireland).I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software update.
Thank you for your help

The software says that there is no new update available, which is incorrect
That is correct their is no update yet for your particular model phone .
Phone code and number decide if the update is available .
Stick your product code in here for tthe exact situation today and keep checking every few days .

Nokia 5800 won't update apps or download apps

I just got this phone yesterday and i want to do the 3 app updates (adobe flashlite 3.1, mail exchange 2.9 and nokia messaging 10.0) that it has on the list in the application folder.
but when i press start update it tries to do them but then says 3 updates failed
also i cant get the ovi store on my phone or download anything
what should i do to fix it?
thanks

Well since its brand new I expect nothing would be the problem is we put the phone through formatting and firmware reinstallation. Some guy at factory must have been half asleep.
On your phone, just dial *#7370# and lock code (by default its 12345). After which, connect to PC to Ovi Suite and update software, then perform the format again. This should ensure that the system is as squeaky clean as possible.
This isnt necessarily the solution, but its sort of the "nuke it" final straw option which in this case I doubt if its a problem on a brand new mostly still empy phone.

Nokia 5800 firmware v40.0.005 bugs that I faced

I was quite happy to see the new firmware update for my Nokia 5800. Looking at the new features like kinetic scrolling etc.. I've installed the update with no second thoughts. I had taken the back-up of what ever I wanted and ready for upgrade.
However, the below is the experience
1. The update went smooth. Phone has automatically restarted after the update.. I'm happy for few minutes.
2. Basic functionality is fine. Some of the applications like Opera Mobile were missing. Understand that I need to reinstall them. Also, wanted to update the Ovi Maps.
3. Tried S/W update option in the phone. No application was able to install or upgrade. After downloading the application, it just says update failed.
4. Tried through PC Suite. Experience is same.
5. Soft reset the phone. Now applications are getting installed or updated. But there's another problem.
6. Phone restarts itself upon any incoming call or alarm or any calendar alert. This was very annoying!!
7. Soft reset the phone again. Imported the back-up.
8. With zero customizations, the basic functionality is back.
9. Installed Opera Mobile back. Phone is working fine. But the touch key board provided by Opera is gone. It goes to phones default input mode.
10. All the applications like Fring, Google Maps, GMail are gone.
11. Installed Fring (from Ovi store). Phone restarted.
12. The incoming call problem is back. I can't simply take any incoming call. Phone reboots automatically, when I hit any option on the screen.
13. Uninstalled Fring.. Problem still exist.
14. Soft reset again.. basic things are back.
15. Don't have enough guts to install any new software.
Summarizing:
1. The firmware is very very unstable. It seems to have a very narrow happy path.
2. Beware!! Basic things like incoming calls are affected.
3. Some applications are not happy with new firmware. They can break the phone.
4. If you had any security related application like WaveSecure, do not forget to install it again.
Other issues found:
1. Pause functionality has disappeared in the Recorder tool.
2. GPRS / WAP access points are taken in the order of preference.
Other than kinetic scrolling, I didn't find any major difference / benefit from this update.
Do it at your own risk.

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.

Nokia 5800 3.0 Update Orange UK?

Got my 5800 today from Orange in the UK yet theres no update available, when I know theres a newer version. I'm currently on 21.0.025. Does anyone know how to get the latest update on Orange, or when its coming?

No, that's not true either.. I swear this forum has FUD undertones.
My unbranded white N97 received its v11 firmware AFTER many UK network variations were released.. indicating Nokia dragged their feet..
Closer to the point on this thread, some unbranded 5800s STILL do not have v30 let alone v31including mine (technically my gf's.. it didn't support line-2 so I couldn't use it) again indicating Nokia are dragging their feet..
Why would complaining to orange help in the slightest.. if uk unbranded 5800s had v31, I guess it might.. but seeing as Nokia haven't made the new firmwares available for their unbranded phones it is more likely to be Nokia dragging their feet..
I would complain to Nokia first.. one the unbranded versions are out and about (which they aren't) then try your network but at the moment I don't see how it can be the networks fault.. really.

Nokia 5800 XM - Software Updates

Since, Long I was trying to update my original version 21 to 52 latest but it was updating to only 31 maximum saying your hardware can update only to this version. But somehow it has updated to v52.0.
Another problems starts, it has updated few more softwares - all hidden i am not aware, I am not using them also, but the touch screen functionality during call receive or forward is not functioning - means graphic shows press here and there to accept or reject but touch screen dont work!!!!!!!!!! i have to use only red or green buttons to function... same in case of alarm gives option of stop or snooze but touch screen dont work....
So i had did hard reset then tried to call it is working perfect (sign is when u got a call accept reject buttons comes in square boxes as is the case previously), but immediately it is asking for some softwares small patches (called service provider you will get in appication manager) which will make those square buttons to rectangular button from left to right and visa-vie for accept or reject, at this moment the touch screen is not working...
Just uninstall service provided patch you will get everything OK... solution is there,
But how to stop this patch been installed (becos as soon as it contacted to OVI / net wifi or any means first things it installs is service provided - which make touch screen functionality) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for long post but needs complete explanation. I already had done 4-5 Hard reset to understand the problem!!!!

SW is SoftWare abbreviation
SoftWare update is firmware update : new version of the operating system on your phone which provides you with alot of new features and better performance and lower battery consumption than before

Nokia 5800 won't start up three weeks after slight...

okay, here's kind of a long one.. I bought my nokia 5800 xpressmusic on a £5 a month contract with the catalogue 'Very'.. Apparently this does not include insurance.. Anyway.. the phone worked perfectly for a year.. until i went to the beach and dropped it in a shallow puddle face down.. slowly everything went off... so i took the battery, sim and memory card out.. a day later it came back on.. it's worked fine for three weeks (apart from the lights on the buttons and the secondary camera on the front).. but last night.. i was on my normal apps when the screen closed down, went black and the backlight was on low.. i tried taking the battery, sim and memory card out and put them back in.. but to no avail.. also I've tried it on charge and tried with a sim without, with memory card without etc.. but nothing seems to be working... this kind of thing has happened before but it came on after a few hours.. but it's been 12 hours.. and i haven't had any luck with it.. i could really use the help because i'm not even half way through my contract with 'Very' and they won't let me cancel it and they won't replace it... Also no message came up after the phone turned off..
The fact it crashed while i was on apps after it had worked for three weeks after the water accident makes me think it's probably not due to the slight water damage... can you help please?

Don't know why you assume this especially due to corrosive nature of saline as opposed to fresh water; it takes a while for faults to start showing up after such immersion unfortunately.

My ipod nano 4g won't update to firmware 1.2

I bought a nike+ sports kit and realised my itunes needed updated, so I did that. Then I realised I needed to update the software as the version I have is 1.0.4 & when I check for updates itunes tells me the software is up to date. I've restored the my nano 4g & still it doesn't update the firmware. I really don't know what else I can do. Any suggestions?

Do you have the Nike+ receiver firmly connected to the bottom of your nano?
Have you reset your Nano? (hold the menu and the center buttong for 5+ seconds until the Apple logo appears)
also have you tested your receiver on another iPod to see if perhaps the receiver is malfunctioning?

Dear Nokia.
On Reference to the post reagarding my nokia firmware update (plz follow the link) /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&view=by_date_ascending&message.id=66458 Please Suggest me a best product key??

"Special edition" phones such as your 5800 "Ramadan edition" tend not to get updates as often as generic phones.
All you can do is petition Nokia in your country to release an update. Click on the "Contact us" link in the navigation bar at the top of any forum page and follow directions.

NOKIA 5610 CAN'T UPDATE NEW FIRMWARE 6.60&7.12!!!!...

juz now i 've found tat there r 2 new firmwares available for download .BUT it is only for other country!!my software updater oso shown tat my firmware now(4.18)is the newest..y we can't update our phone's firmware while ppl from other country can????

These questions come up time and time again. Two main factors affect this:
(1) Updates are phased in around the world because there are numerous regional variants, it is not just a single softwarfe for any particular model worldwide. Some regional variations may lag behind others.
(2) If the phone has operator-version software instead of standard Nokia software, Nokia must await the approval of the network before it may release updates.

Nokia E63 won't update, error code 12017

I can't update my Nokia E63 using the ovi suite software.
After doing a complete memory wipe, the same error code appears during the update process.
I select update 501.21.001, hit install... but before the download can even begin I get error code 12017.
After googling issue, I see many many people have had this issue. I have tried all solutions, including installing the Nokia PC Suite, then installing the software update from there. I have also tried disabling Windows ICS.
Is there any solution to this problem? Is there some way to manually update the phone's software without using Nokia's software suite?
Thank you.

I have exactly same problem.
I can easily update my e71 (both with NSU and Nokia Suite), but can't do it with e63 - error 12017 in Nokia Suite and nothing in NSU (I see "First step" all the time).
I've tried every solution I found on nokia forums, I reinstalled whole software, drivers, turned off ICS, AV, firewall and nothing.
I have nokia suite v3.3.86, NSU 3.0.605 and nokia firmware 200.21.012 (latest is 500.21.009/501.21.001 !!)
I ran out of options.
Edit
I only add: I can manage e63 from nokia suite, I succesfuly made a backup of all content. So the phisycall connection works.
