Soft/Firmware Update for N95

I think I have searched all the FAQ but don't see an answer.
I have an unlocked N95. I am in Canada. I plan to take the device to Europe next week. I want the latest soft/firmware updates before I install anything [maps, dictionary, metro maps, virus software]. But the updater which I have installed on my PC says it wants a SIM card in the phone to do the update. Can I get around this? I don't want to get some sort of phone plan here when I'll be gone in a week.
Also, one set of instructions says plug the phone into the charger while you update and the other says just be sure the battery is fully charged. Does it matter?

No, SIM card is required.
It's better to plug it into the charger during updating. All it takes is a faulty indicator and you risk bricking your phone. The update process drains the battery like you've never seen before.
Hope it helps.

  • Firmware update for N95, its not updating, HELP!!!

    I also have a problem on net it is mentioned that latest firmware is 30.0??? and my N95's firmware is 21.0.0.16.
    I tried by downloading lateset software updater whenever I tried it says this is most updated one on my mobile, one of cousin has alredy updated his N95. Even I check with the code given on the back of the mobile it shows 21.0.0.16 is the latest one, somebody explain this to me, Please.
    Should I format ??? but how???

    It quite still quite possibly be an unlocked but branded handset. Do you see any branding logos when you turn the phone on or do you see any network icons anywhere in the menus?
    By the way, a new version of NSU V1.4.64 has just been released. Try that and see if it gives you your update. You can download it from

    This sucks. I will try to return the phone or get a non-branded replacement. Two more questions though:
    1. How long might take Vodafone to approve the update?
    1. Any other surprises related to the fact that the phone is branded?
    1. Could take a few months, and may also be never
    2. May have the VoIP/SIP features disabled, Vodafone do that because they believe that VoIP is not mature enough (translates into they dont want you making cheap calls with a device that they subsidised)
    As for changing it for another one - unless you buy it outright without a contract ie Full Price as a EURO1 handset then it is likely that it will be branded, the rule is not to buy from the Network as part of a contract or it will be messed with. However a full priced handset costs much more because its not subsidised by the network. This is the choice you take. If they take it back - you'll get another identically branded one.
    The answer to the first post is a very FAQ - and it does answer it in the TOP Questions Sticky at the top of this board.

  • No updates for N95 and more

    Well it seems to be that there's not going to be more firmware updates for N95. That's a big shame for Nokia because at least I was expecting ASR. I got an iPod Touch and I've seen that even the old iPhone 2G is receiving updates to the next firmware 2. But if you want Nokia's ASR and newest services, you have to buy a new Nokia like the new N96 or N85 they're launching. I've paid so much for my N95 not so long ago and now it's a forgotten cellphone.
    That's why I'm planning to sell my N95 and buy the new iPhone 3G, I know it will not be unlocked, I'll have to unlock it by my self, and I know that it's 2MP camera will not be the same than the N95 camera; but I'm happy because I know that I will always have updates for this device, will have ASR and other things that Nokia could update on their devices instead of making them obsolete.
    Come on Nokia, when are you going to learn?

    hi mate simple threats of going to the iphone will not help them bring out software for your phone , i doubt any software peeps from noia even read this forum its a users forum if you have a problem you should email nokia directly through their contact us pages
    if i was a nokia technician though id have to stop myself from laughing at you for going over to the iphone i mean that would be a major step backwards and youll only be lining o2 and apples allready bulging pockets some more and have a rubbish phone with outdated features for the next 18 months , i mean cmon how long has 3g been out for and apple act as though its new lol anyways i dont want to start the n95 vs apple debate again any power user will know that the n95 is still top of the pile
    there will be 1 more new firmware for the n95-1 , and iam sure it will contain asr and geotagging for the 5mp camera just like the n82s last update did and n95 8gbs added it too, yes thats right the n95 8gb did not come with asr as standard from release it was added in v20 if iam correct v15 for the 8gb dosent have it so it was pretty dam good for them to add it
    anyways v21 on the n95 is very good just add rotate me or landscape pro and your phone will have asr, the nokia technicians dont really have to sort out any issues at all with v21 , it has transformed my phone into a top hanset with decent battery life for such a feature packed handset , new firmwares roll out mainly to iron out bugs if a handset dosent have bugs why would they update it??
    we are lucky that nokia can even be bothered to add new features really , they dont have to do they , the handset isnt advertised with asr is it , nope , so we are lucky they listen and add features
    i seriously cant believe youd leave the n95 for the iphone but hey everyone to thier own
    i personally think nokia do well with their updates and nokia users are lucky that their phones get updated via the net and that nokia can be bothered to add new features etc into the firmware and not just iron out little bugs
    anyways mate id be more patient before you go over to the darkside i believe the new firmware for the n95-1 will be avalible just before the n96 release as the developers are going to be busy with their new hanset and ironing out the new bugs on that n96 , once the n95-1 has asr and geotagging bult into firmware it will be more then the device we was promised and i think nokia will leave it like that for a bit and work on the n96

  • Where is the new update for N95 US Versions?

    Where is the new update for N95-3 and N95-4? i have this two phones and i fell disappoint and mad becuz i bought this expensive cellphone and we have no support from Nokia.. this is no fair we are consumers like any other in the world. And the european model of N95 has a lot of updates and we r exent of the updates and support.. thats no fair my cellphone cost a lot of money and no support? only one update for year?.. my cellphone N95-4 compared to the European model is a garbage. Because the European added many things with update.. like autorotate and improve speed.. im about not to buy another Nokia because we have no support !! Nokia set aside the American market.
    THATS NO FAIR !!

    Actually, it's the American market that set Nokia aside.
    Nokia initially refused to allow network operators to customize their phones' firmware. Consequently, American network operators all but stopped buying Nokia phones. Nokia has since relented and does carry out a certain amount of trade in America now, but they're nowhere near as popular over there as they are elsewhere in the world.
    Add their lower popularity in America to the fact that you all use different frequency bands from the rest of the world, which means a different set of hardware, and you begin to understand why the American market is a bit of a bugbear and why Americanised products are low priority. If American networks followed the same standards as elsewhere in the world you'd all benefit from the same updates.
    Note that this is just personal speculation and not necessarily Nokia's official standpoint. I am not a Nokia employee.

  • When new update for N95 ,the code is 0551989

    Hi body here ,when is the new firmware version for N95(code is 0551989)? my version is V12.1?
    thanks!

    First of all, there is no AppleWorks "staff" - we are all just users like you.
    AppleWorks 6 has not been updated since January, 2004, for the Mac & PC. The odds of another update are "slim & none" since iWork ’05 was announced as "building the successor to AppleWorks." I've not used XP, but have used AppleWorks 6 on Windows 95, 98 & 2000 with it being less stable on each successive version. I currently use AppleWorks 5 on my work PC with Win2K. I had read that AW 5 wasn't stable on Win2K, but it is certainly better than AW 6. When they "upgrade" us to XP Pro next month, I'm going to try to get the "helpless" desk to install my AW 6 again & see how it does. Meanwhile, I find it easier to take my MacBook Pro to work & use it along side the PC.

  • Firmware update for HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless to fix load paper issue - as for the 8500?

    Is there any hope that that soon will be a firmware update to fix the issues loading paper and the printheads for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer? 
    A month or two ago there came a firmware update to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless, which has some of the same issues,
    and allegedly should have the much of the same load-mechanism as the 8000 printer.
    It would be great, as we are on the fourth (4) replacement of this HP 8000 printer. For example, it would be great if we could use normal (80g) paper and not has to use (HP) 90g paper, as this prevents us from using the duplexer and only print on one side.

    Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
    I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
    Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
    I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

  • Where do I get an SMC Firmware Update for my 21.5 inch Late 2009 iMac?

    Hello Apple Support Communities,
    I have a 21.5 inch, Late 2009 Intel iMac. Currently it is running OSX Lion. It is also running Bootcamp with Windows 7 Professional Installed. Recently the Hard drive crashed on me and I ordered a new generic Hitachi from an Apple Reseller. I took all the precautions and asked all the questions, but when I finished the hard drive replacement, the fans within the iMac started running on High. The other people in my office Hate this. I did some research and found that there is a firmware update for the SMC that I should be installing. I looked on the webpage where apple directs you to find out if you need this update, but I can't find my exact specs on the page (here is the page for reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237) I can only find an update for the 27 inch model. I tried running that one and the system tells me "This software is not supported on your system."
    Here are the specs that the page requested me to find:
    Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
    Boot ROM Version:          IM101.00CC.B00
    SMC Version (system):          1.52f9
    Someone please help, this has been bugging me for a while.

    I took all the precautions and asked all the questions,
    Then I trust you saw this before you did the replacement. Apparently, it's not just a question of getting a drive from the same manufacturer to use with the proprietary cable.
    http://blog.macsales.com/2751-proprietary-cable-can-put-the-brakes-on-upgrading- late-09-imacs
    It's acting as if the temp sensor is not connected. I have it bookmarked amidst thousands of bookmarks but can't remember the name right now. There is some program out there that, in the absence of getting data from the internal sensor, will regulate the fan speed based on the SMART temp. If I think of it, I'll post back.
    Here it is. It's meant for the 2011 iMac Apple drives, but I don't see why it wouldn't work in your situation.

    BTW, I think John Galt is thinking of the 2011 iMac drives, not the late 2009s, which are not quite as impossible.

  • WHY DOESNT NOKIE POST MORE FIRMWARE UPDATES FOR OT...

    I AM NEW TO THIS BOARD AND HAVE FOUND THAT NO MATTER WHAT I DO TO UPDATE MY NOKIA 6230i (FIRMWARE AND RADIO SOFTWARE)I MEET A BRICK WALL.
    IT SEEMS NOKIA ARENT INTERESTED IN GIVING YOU SUPPORT ONCE YOURE PHONE IS ANY MORE THAN A YEAR OLD.
    THIS TO ME IS VERY UNFAIR AS I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF CASH ON THIS PHONE TRYING TO UPDATE VISUAL RADIO USING THE DIRECTIONS PROVIDED WITH NO SUCCESS AS THESE DIRECTIONS DO NOT WORK AS I CANT FIND ANYWHERE TO DOWNLOAD THE THE NEW VISUAL RADIO WHILEST ON WAP.
    THIS TO DATE HAS COST ME £75 TRYING TO FIND THE LINK.
    ALSO I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE FIRMWARE UPDATE FOR THE 6230i AS I SEE THIS AS BEING FAIR AS EVERY OTHER MOBILE THAT IS BEING POSTED CAN BE UPDATED OVER THE AIR AND THROUGH SOFTWARE UPDATE.
    WHY CANT MINE AND MANY OTHERS.
    EVEN IF NOKIA POSTED THE LAST RELEASED FOR EVERY MOBILE EVEN FOR THE OLD ONES I WOULD BE VERY GREATFUL .
    MY NOKIA HAS A VERY OLD FIRMWARE V3.40 THIS NOKIA KNOWS IS FULL OF BUGS AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR POSTING THE FIXES UNTILL THERE ARE NO BUGS TO SORT WITHOUT EXCESS COST OR HAVING TO VISIT A RECOMMENDED REPAIR DEALER.
    I WANT IT FREE JUST LIKE THE NEXT GUY SO NOKIA POST THE FIRMWARES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS I AM COMPLETELY FED UP WITH THIS FONE AND ITS BUGS.
    YOURS SINCERELY
    AN UNHAPPY CUSTOMER

    First of all, please locate the Caps Lock key of your keyboard; all upper case text is hard to read, and traditionally considered as shouting. Of course, you may already know that, and intended to shout.
    Anyway, most phones do not have the built-in support for do-it-yourself firmware updates.
    For such phones your options are (if you think you need a firmware update):
    - Take/send the phone to an authorized Nokia service/repair center, where the update can be done.
    - Buy relativelt expensive flashing equipment and locate illegally distributed firmware files and try it on your own with that.
    My advise is to go for the former rather than the latter option. The former should cost you anything (at least not for as long as the phone is under warranty & excluding what it takes for you to go there).
    As to downloading "THE NEW VISUAL RADIO WHILEST ON WAP", I don't know what you mean by that. I don't know a 6230i, but either it comes with Visual Radio built-in or not. Any updates/fixes to it would come with a firmware update, but not over WAP.
    Note also that you don't need the Visual Radio service to listen to FM radio channels, and most radion stations do not support the "Visual" bit at all (if they do, the support is indicated in the station directory in the radio app on the phone).

  • Where is the firmware update for my ipod touch

    I recall that there was a firmware update for my 1st Gen Ipod Touch. I did not do it at the time, but would like to do the update now to the most current firmware available for my touch. I am now on version 2.2.1 (5H11) Can anyone tell me where I can find the newer firmware? Is there any benefits to the new firmware or should I just leave it as is?

  • Firmware Update for my blackberry 8830 world edition with Bell Canada

    Hi does anyone know if there is firmware update for the Blackberry 8830 world edition with the carrier being Bell Canada?  I am running version 4.2 and I know there is 4.5 but I am not sure if this applies the my phone with Bell Canada. When I boot up my desktop manager and checks for updates and says that there is no update.  I don't want to update if it is not necessary and not be able to run my blackberry.  If I am able to update where would I go to get the 4.5 update?

    You have to repair Desk Manager or unintall and reintall DM, but this time uncheck "Auto update" and anything that refer to "update" the reason why I mention that is because everythime you run DM, it goes online and check for newer version and put this file "vendor.xml" in the Blackberry Common Folder, and with that file in place, it will block the program from installing the newer version from a difference cell company..
    From what I see 4.2 is the only version that is up to date for a 8830...but if you have a 8820, you can update to 4.5.

  • Is there a firmware update for burning at 16x with Matshita DVD-R UJ 845E?

    Is there a firmware update for burning at 16x with Matshita DVD-R UJ 845E? I'm trying to burn a DVD using iDVD on my iBook. The blank DVD's are Memorex 16x (I've used Memorex 8x successfully in the past), the DVD drive is specified above. The finder tells me that the drive has reported an error "sense key=medium error/ sense code=0x73, 0x03" I couldn't find firmware updates in either Panasonic Matshita or Apple websites. Am I forever confined to 8x DVD-R's with this laptop?
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    ibook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    First, welcome to the discussions.
    Sorry, No Firmware update to allow you to burn at 16X.
    The drive you have is only capable of burning at 8X.
    You will also find that for the most part when you recieve errors that it is more often than not attributed to MEDIA.
    There are so many problems with the cheaper media they are to numerous to cover.
    DVD is not at all like CD burning, in that the technology as well as the Optical Drives used, seem to be touchy, and require the use of good Media. This will allow you trouble free burning without errors.
    http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm
    You will also find that the reason that DVD-R Media works the best, is because it is the most wirely used and recognised in both Computers and Players.
    If I may suggest. There are several 16X DVD's on the market.
    Take your time and look at the back of the Jewel Cases and read. You will see that the better Media will tell you that it will burn at 1X through and including 16X, if your drive is capable of handleing these speeds. I prefer Maxell 16X DVD-R Media in the individual Jewel Cases. This Media burns at the slower speeds on the older Superdrives that will only burn at 1X or 2X.
    Like many others I have learned my lessons the hard way.
    Cheers Don
