Nokia 5800 XM failed firmware update/GPS issues

Hello.
I'm currently having issues with my Nokia 5800. Firstly whenever attempting to update the firmware through the Nokia Ovi Suite, it fails with an "Error in the software update package configuration" error. I've read around on the forums, and I've noticed that other people have had a similar problem, but no real answer was given other than "I solved it, but I won't bother telling you how". There must be other ways to update the Nokia firmware than just relying on the Ovi Suite.
Also my GPS on the phone never manages to get a signal, no matter how much in the open I am. I'm assuming that this is probably due to the fact that I haven't updated the firmware, but if anyone else has any ideas why this is happening feel free to let me know!
Cheers

Hi, I was having the same problem but I found that if you use the Nokia Software Updater rather than the Ovi Suite it installs fine!
Hope this helps!

    You may try the Hard reset by pressing the following keys:
    1) Green
    2) Red
    3) camera key
    And while pressing on all those keys power on the phone untill you see the hand shake only then release all the 4 keys.

  • Cannot Boot From Internal Disk After Failed Firmware Update

    Xserve 1,1 (Late 2006)
    After a failed firmware update the server will not boot from an internal volume.
    I have tried the firmware restoration CD 1.4 without success due to the following:
    I press the sleep LED but only get the initial three fast blinks, not the next slower three blinks, and the last three fast blinks.
    I can boot in Target Mode, NetBoot, from an installation CD. The volume with the OS (10.5) is recognized by another machine, but the server will not boot from it.
    I have tried reinstalling the OS on another drive, and repairing the drive.
    I would appreciate any suggestions.

    I read somewhere that it might have to do with the fact that it says "S.M.A.R.T. not supported" on DU. Is there any way to fix this? does it mean I'll need a new drive soon?
    I think something else is afoot. I believe that, when you boot from the the system/install and run DU from there, DU does not recognize SMART reporting.
    Before I recently updated my MBP to 10.5.7, I ran DU from the DVD to verify the disk before applying the update (I'm cautious about those updates). It gave the same report you are seeing. Once I was booted from the hard drive, the SMART status report returned to normal. SMART will typically report "failing, not "not supported" if the drive is going bad.

  • Nokia N95 8gb latest firmware update 21/02/13

    Hi, I have had a problem whilst updating my N95 8gb and now it appears, I think, that the  firmware version I have is an older one than I had previously, but there isn't anything newer showing as availaable. I have 35,0.001. I am sure that the last time I had a problem, after it was "flashed", the firmware I had installed by the shop was this and then when I got home and went to restore my files, there was a new update available on line. The rreason I say this is that the icons and colours etc are like the version installed by the shop, about 1 year ago and when I updated the software everything was different. If what I am saying is correct, does anyone know if this newer firmware update has now been withdrawn or can anyone throw any light on the subject as I am a little confused! Thanks

    If your N95 8GB is RM-320 the last available firmware for all product codes is v35.0.001. Using restore via Nokia Suite can only reset your individual personalisation settings.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • PRS-T1 stuck in infinite reboot loop after failed firmware update

    Hi,
    I tried to update the firmware, but failed when updating to version 1.0.07.05070. Tried to 2 times. The first time it failed I simply tried again. The second time, it took a lot longer to reach the failed to update message, but it did cause the ereader to reboot.
    Now, it's stuck in an infinite reboot loop on the "Opening book" page. The progress bar on that page stays completely empty, lasts for about 30 seconds, and reboots again. This will go one until the battery is dead or indefinitely if plugged in. 
    I have tried pressing the Home + Menu buttons, but they seem to have no effect.
    Please advise if there is anything I can try to revive it?
    Thanks in advanced.
    David
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Kiroken,
    Here is what I have observed:
    - After a hard boot (reset + power button during 3+ seconds), if I don't do anything, it will reboot every ~30seconds.
    - If I press and hold the Home and Menu buttons, no effect. The same as if I didn't press anything.
    - If I press the Forward + Back buttons (2 & 4), it does not reboot after 30 seconds. Instead, the orange light on the power button blink every ~2-3 seconds.
    - Any other key combinations that I have tried have no effect.
    I have tried with and without several rescue sdcard. No difference. No improvement. In every case, the computer never sees the reader. If plugged into the power outlet, it seems like the battery charges alright. It does not appear to charge if plugged into USB port.
    That's all I know. If I can't fix it, I might be forced to turn it into a coaster or maybe a cutting board for the kitchen.

  • Nokia 3600 Slide Playlists + Firmware Updates

    When I update my Nokia 3600 Slide with new firmware, my playlists no longer work, or show up in the media player. The gallery doesn't support viewing them. I don't want to have to rebuild my 70 song playlist again (I have over 500 songs on my phone). Is there a way to get the old playlist working?

    probably not, should have done a backup of the playlist to your computer, as firmware updates clear all data on the phone.

  • Nokia 5800 RM-428 software update

    Hello, I have a Nokia 5800 from Rogers with software version 31.2.101. I have heard about the new software 52.0.007 and I was wondering how can i download/upgrade to it. I have used both the Nokia Ovi Suite and the Software Updater but no avail. Both of them read "no update available." Is it because my phone is locked to Rogers and they do not allow the update or is there anyway I can bypass and install the new software. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have 51.2.007 installed in my Nokia 5800 (RM-428) Product Code 0561618. NSU v3.0.223 indicates that mine us up to date. Unless they add a featue like cover flow to the media player I don't know what they would be doing in this update. It runs pretty good now. Big improvement over v21 and especially over v40, which resulted in Nokia replacing my handset.
    3390 - 6103b - 6133 - 6290 - 6301b - N78-3 - 5610d-2b XpressMusic - 5800d-1b XpressMusic, N900 RX-51, N8-00, C7 Astound, 808 Pureview, Lumia 1020.
    Nicer phones and still no one calls me!

  • 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

  • Time Capsule (brand new) needed Firmware update, now issues still

    I have just updated my firmware on the Time Capsule, (I did figure out why I was getting an earlier error on my Time Capsule when an error popped up that "Time Machine couldn't complete the backup to my TIme Capsule because the "backup image was already in use".  I finally saw the number or exclamation mark (I forget) and it stated it needed a firmware update (wish it would download them automatically).  After I did that though, I am backing up my iMac.
    I have to take my iMac to Apple today in Tampa and drop it off to replace the HD per the replacement program of a recall so I have to make sure the backup is complete.  I also want to make sure my iPHone is backed up and so I was told when I bought Time Capsule that it would also wirelessly sync up all my Apple wireless devices.
    I was told to use Airport Utility, but that doesn't seem to work at ALL now and I'm not sure why. As of Feb. 7th, that was updated and it seems to have caused problems for many.
    I am in v. 1.2 and just deleted it and added it back in.
    How can the Time Capsule allow my iPhone to access it through Airport Utility? Was there a setting I am missing?
    HELP with the Time Capsule backup, the iPhone (and then my daughter's iPod, my iPad and that's about it) backing up wirelessly through Airport Utility.

    Your idevices do not backup directly to the TC.. nor does the Airport Utility do anything but setup the TC.
    Time Machine is the backup for the Mac.
    The devices like iphone are backed up to itunes or cloud..
    The itunes is then backed up by TM to the TC.. so it is indirect.
    See apple doco on back of iphone for instance. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Let me also suggest you do a disk image of the mac. You will find this is much easier to recover your working mac from.. in fact get a USB drive is even better and download superduper.. you can do free disk images from it, but they can also be done from disk utility. Make a bootable USB drive which is an image of your existing internal drive. That can be easily restored to the Mac when you get it back.
