Restoring after firmware update - Ways :)

Hi All,
Nowadays we are receiving quite a few complaints that customers are unable to restore the application after updating their firmware. I would like all to discuss to come up with some ways to restore their applications after firmware update.
Before updating firmware
Customer can backup his phone using Nokia PC Suite's Content Copier application.
He can store his Contacts and Messages using Nokia Communication Centre as .csv file or .txt file.
For his Contacts he can sync with pc suite supported sync applications.
Messages he can store in Memory card and he can make a backup of memory card in PC.
If he is using Nokia PC Suite for his Multimedia items he can use Image Store if he is using Nokia PC Suite or Nokia Photos if he is using Nokia OVI Suite.
For Music he can use Nokia Music Manager or Nokia Music.
Once after updating his firmware, if he is unable to restore he can get those from above said applications.
If his calendar entries are not restored(as in case of some of Nokia e 71s and Nokia N 95/95 8 GBs), for God's sake if he has got one more similar device(or device having switch application on phone), he can restore the backup file to another phone having switch application, then he can transfer his data (Contacts, Calenders etc ) to his original phone
Dear Forum members, if you have got any other work around please let me know regarding the same, which will help our customers

Hi,
If you have issue in Nokia PC Suites, [subject to your phone's compatibility with Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 ],
you can install Nokia OVI Suite 2.0.0.10 and check if you can take backup and restore it later.
Also i would suggest to use USB for taking backup, since it will be faster than Bluetooth. Also you can select one category at one time(say backup contacts alone, then Calendar, then messages etc and so on ....)
Its better to skip memory card backup while backup-ing other Phone data for faster backup. Memory card backup can be done separtely(since it wont be affetcted while updating firmware, users can safely remove memory card while updating firmware)
Nowadays though recent phones has got UDP(User Data Prevention i.e., even if you update your phone's firmware, your data wont get erased ), still it is recommended to backup your phone data.
Hope this could help
I welcome our experts to add more details related to this topic.

Copied from that article.....
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
Are you releasing the home button when you see the connect to iTunes screen? Does iTunes start on its own? If it doesn't - start iTunes yourself.
Also copied from the article.....
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:

Problems after firmware update 52.0.007

Hi,
I got my phone back after the shop fixed a problem and updated the firmware to the latest version 52.0.007.
But now I have following problems:
I can't get the calendar anymore to show up on the homescreen, even after checking the checkbox to do so
The Radio app. is gone
Does anyone has a solution for this?
Iwan

It may sound crazy but sometimes you need to "hard reset" device after firmware update (beware all data erased) by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code unless altered by yourself). Sometimes UDP = User Data Prersevation feature of 5800XM can carry over corrupt entries when updating.
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5

No unless something goes astray during the update and you have to recover by restoring from backup

Ovi Maps 3 don´t start after firmware update (6220...

Hello!
a few days ago I installed ovi maps 3 on my nokia 6220c and it works well. Later I updated the firmware from version 03.06 to 05.15.
After firmware update ovi maps don´t start-> "Cannot open application. Install latest version from nokia.com/maps."
But Nokia Map Updater says, there are no updates for my maps.
What´s wrong?
Can I reinstall Ovi Maps 3? Or is it possible to install Ovi Maps 3 new?
thanks

Hello!
The Map Updater said: "there is no update for your phone" ...because maps 3 is already installed.
But in the meantime I have found a solution!!
I downloaded maps 2.0 from the German nokia page and installed it. Later I started Map Updater and could update to Maps 3 and now it works!!!
I think the problem was: I first updated to Maps 3 and later updated the firmware. There was any older version of fixes included in the firmware update, so Maps 3 was damaged...
thanks
sorry for my bad English

N73: restore doesn't work after firmware update

Hello!
I just made a firmware update to my N73 with NSU, and the procedure completed with no errors.
Just before the update I made a backup with the application in the phone menu; the app wrote a backup.arc file in the MMC.
After the update I tried to restore the backup via the same app.
Here's the problem: the app seems to work (but the "restore" lasts just 1-2 seconds), the phone reboots, but nothing is restored.
Googleing aroung I found a solution: buy the Noki 1.7 software, extract SMS, contacts and files from the backup.arc, and put everything back on the phone...
Is there another solution that doesn't involve buying this 3rd party software?
TIA

The phone is working well...
I have been searching in internet, and there'a a lot of people with the same problem. Everybody tells to use PC Suite to backup... if I only knew before.

Contacts don't show after firmware update (V05.23)...

After a firmware update I can't restore my contacts.
If I tried to enter them manually, I have the message "Contact saved to phone memory" but my contact list stayed empty.
Apparently they are really saved somewhere in the phone, since I can see them if I synchronize my phone with my PC. Bt there is no way to access them from the phone.
Anyone had a similar issue before ?

Very same problem with my 6730c. Updated firmware from Menu > Settings > SW Update. Now I fully cannot access my contact book (all contacts are stored to SIM card). These can be used from any other phone. When a person from contact book calls me it shows name. I can only call people who called me and so saved to Logs. Please update firmware as soon as possible, I wish to use my phone

The iPod Freezes after Firmware Update 1.2

I just updated my ipod to the firmware version 1.2 and instantly after the update the ipod started to mal-function.
I hope to god this isnt going to become one of those issues that is overlooked by Apple.
If anyone has any suggestions, or ways to fix this or a similar problem, please do not hesitate to post.

I too had this happen to me. Ipod works great before update. I install itunes7 and update firmware and then it starts freezing during song/podcast or video playback. It has to be reset by holding Menu and center button. I tried a restore on it thinking it didn't update correctly. I re-synced by entire library (which takes a while). That didn't help. So I went back to 1.1.2 update
All I did was uninstall Itunes7 and then got the 06-28 update from the another site and installed and restored my ipod. Reinstalled intunes7 and unchecked update automatically. And re-sync all my library.
3 hours I will never get back. But my ipod works again.
I posted a story to digg about this in the hopes of get Apple to respond that there are major problems with 1.2 update.
Please digg my story

Imac 27" late 2009 SOS beeps at startup after firmware update

Here is the story.
After a firmware update, imac did not start up and beeped. The only way to get it to start was to reset the VRAM using the command option P R. Then it was starting fine, but for each reboot I had to do the same.
A firmware update later... And now even that doesn't work.
Could it be the logic board battery? ( computer is 3.5 yrs old and part of it was 2 months in storage so off the grid).
Anyone has had a similar issue before I bring it to the applestore and wait for the overpriced repair?
Thanks!

Hi Gus,
Which beeps?
The following table lists the new tones and their meaning:
Tone(s)    Description
1 tone, a 5-second pause, repeat    No RAM installed
3 successive tones, a 5-second pause, 3 successive tones    RAM does not pass data integrity check
1 long tone when holding down the power button    Firmware upgrade in process. See About firmware updates for Intel-based Macs for more details.
3 long tones, 3 short tones, 3 long tones    Firmware restoration from CD in process. See About the Firmware Restoration CD (Intel-based Macs) for more details.

Might be time to replace the PRAM Battery, 4 years is close to their lifespan, far less if ever without AC power, & can cause strange startup problems...

Not easy to do yourself.
PS. You reset the PRAM.

IPod Touch frozen after firmware update

Hi,
I have a problem with my iPod Touch (3rd gen). I am running iTunes on 64-bit Windows 7.
I plugged in my iPod into my PC and iTunes offered an upgrade to iOS 4.3.3. I accepted as I do routinely; I'm pretty sure
I was running whatever was the latest version previous to this update.
A few minutes later my iPod's screen showed the picture of a cable plugging into iTunes. The iTunes screen showed a message:
"iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
I selected "Restore" and iTunes displayed a message that it was "Restoring iPod software".
The iPod screen showed the Apple logo and a status bar underneath which seemed to indicate that it was being restored.
It then did "verifying ipod software" and "verifying ipod restore" and finally "restoring ipod firmware".
However, when the process finishes, and after flashing the Apple logo again, the iPod still reverts to the picture of a cable
plugging into iTunes. For its part, iTunes goes back to the original message:
"iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes."
I checked that I have the latest version of iTunes (10.2.2.14), and even went to the Apple website and downloaded it to be sure.
As far as I can see the iPod is going into recovery mode (the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 suggests that this is
achieved when you get the picture of the USB cable plugging into iTunes, which is pretty much all that my iPod displays now).
It's just that the restores do not seem to be taking.
I also tried running the file iPod3,1_4.3.3_8J2_Restore.ipsw which was suggested in a response to a similar problem.
This did not appear to do anything other than start iTunes at the point where it asked me to restore.
Can anyone please suggest a solution such that I may be able to use my iPod again?
Thank you for any help or ideas.

Thank you samuelfromwilmette I think you are right.
To finish the story: I took my iPod to a Genius bar and they were able to re-set it. I then recovered from a back up but noticed that some of my apps did not recover correctly. I carried on for a few more weeks and then it simply stopped working. The iPod would no longer receive transfer files from iTunes, it would not update any of the apps and then a few days later I got the screen of death problem.
Fortunately I still have a netbook running Windows XP. I set up iTunes on it and was able to restore the iPod. I now simply use the Windows XP netbook as the computer with which I sync my iPod. It is not a great solution, because I would rather use my desktop, which is where I have my photos etc. I am forced to use an external hard drive to move files over. I have been operating like this for over 6 weeks and it all seems to be holding together!
I think I have learnt two things:
1) Regardless of what they say, my iPod Touch 3rd gen. / iTunes is not really compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. The fact is that it works perfectly with my Windows XP computer but not with the newer operating system.
2) I do not really need to update the firmware every time a new one comes out, and I do not need to sync my iPod every day!
Thanks again for the advice.

Airport no longer working after firmware update

Before i get to my question, i think that it is necessary to give a bit of background as to why i have set my network up the way i have.
I recently moved in with my girlfriend and brought my broadband package with me as i would have to pay a fee to cancel my contract within the contract period.
This would be all well and good except that in the new location, the service provider can only supply broadband via an ADSL phone line (provided by a seperate telephone company) furthermore they (Virgin Media - i'm gonna name names) provide a cheap USB only modem - which in turn is only compatible with PPC Macs.
Fine for me, but not so great for my girlfriend who has an Intel Mac Mini and not so great for my new Airport Extreme which of course requires a modem with an ethernet connection.
Bearing in mind that it's just after Christmas and i can't afford to just run out and buy an ethernet modem or change my ISP - i thought that i would try something out.
With the USB modem connected to my old PPC G4 i then connected the ethernet cable (that i had connecting our two Macs allowing them to share the internet connection) - from my G4 to the WAN port on the Airport...
Now i'm a real networking newbie so i was a little suprised when suddenly and effortlessly i had created a wireless network that the Mac Mini and our iPod Touches could see and use. I set up security etc and all was well and good...for two days.
Then Airport received a firmware update and now it doesn't work and resetting the Airport doesn't help.
So now i have to get my hands dirty and like i say, i know jack about networks or the terminology.
With this configuration - and obviously we know that it can work (somehow!)
should i be in bridge mode or sharing a single IP address? and just how am i connecting to the internet. Static IP address/DHCP - PPPoE? I know what these abbreviations stand for but i don't know what they mean.
In the course of 'playing around' with the settings i have seen a message saying that Airport has an invalid I.P. address - why is it invalid and is that only because of something that i have changed or is that the route of the problem?
All the machines can see each other and the only clue i can provide is this log extract.

I'm hoping that some networking guru is reading this and can provide me with a few pointers.
Can anyone help? I've been struggling with this for days now.
Thanks in advance.
Steve.

Your setup is convoluted, but it should work. A few comments:
1. The base station should be configured to get an IP address using DHCP, which it will get from your PPC which (with internet connection sharing turned on) is now acting as a DHCP server.
2. The base station should be configured in bridge mode, since your PPC (with intenet connection sharing turned on) is now acting as a router.
3. I suggest you should turn off the network firewall on the PPC as long as your are running this sort of setup. Not ideal, but it will prevent all sorts of connectivity problems between the internet and everything downstream of your PPC's ethernet port.

After firmware update ipod touch not working with my Sony Home Theater DAV HDX287WC any suggestions

Is there a solution to play music from my iPod touch on my Sony Home Theater System DAV HDX 287WC after recent firmware/software upgrade? However, I am still able to play music through my ipod classic, but I am really missing the the functionality of the iPod touch with my home theater system.

- Check to see if there is a firmware update for the theater system
Sometimes this works but sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
