Update the N70 without Nokia Software updater

Hi all, With all the recent post of updater giving trouble on the N70, is there any other way of updating the software on the N70? Do we have to use the Updater? Perhaps there is a workaround until the updater gets fixed? What was used before the updater? Thanks for your help, Shanks.

Make sure everything's backed up first though, as it will still be wiped completely. It should only take them about an hour.
Yeah but here in Malta I have to pay almost Euro 15 to get my N70 updated at the Nokia Service Centre and they told me also that I should leave my phone at least 2 days!
Why all this hassle when other Nokia users done it for free. And after all this is just to fix the factory bugs that the N70 came out with !

  • N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

    Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
    I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
    In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
    I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
    What do I do?
    Regards,
    Anders
    By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

  • Nokia Software Updater - nsl_host_process.exe - ns...

    I get the following message
    "Nokia Software Updater has attempted to connect to the internet but has failed three times. This could be because of a poor-quality, slow, or intermittent internet connection, or restrictions due to a firewall
    If requested by your firewall, Nokia Software Updater needs the following applications to gain access to the internet:
    nsl_host_process.exe
    nsu_ui_client.exe"
    I have a good internet connection.
    I have disable my Firewall!
    What else could be wrong?
    Please I need urgent Help!!! (If possible in Portuguese)

    I almost don't believe it. It looks like they did again. RM-357. First there is an update (which I find out about by accident, not from Nokia despite signing up for their MyNokia email), but Nokia Support Updater gives faulty and inaccurate error messages about trying to connect three times and failing, or about a firewall issue (which was turned off and had allowed access to the required files anyway) and about Internet connection speed (which is high, and as high for a friend of my who also has an e71 but a different RM number) to update. Time wasted trying to troubleshoot a Nokia problem.
    Then, again without notification, the update disappears. Suddenly 200.XX is the latest version. Then, and again without notification. 300.XX reappears. With the same errors. Looks at my phone, tells me there's an update, then won't download and install. Two different computers, two different highspeed connections, latest Nokia PC Suite version.
    As I said earlier, I would rather have no update than waste my time with one poorly rolled out, especially since this phone is aimed a business users who want their phone to work and can't waste time trying to make Nokia's software work. This is definitely souring my experience of the first, and at this point, probably last, Nokia I will buy. Perhaps Nokia has forgotten there are a couple of other companies (Blackberry, Apple) that also make pretty good devices, and seem to have update systems that function. Why do I learn of updates for the iPhone more easily than for the one I own?
    Get your act together Nokia.

  • N95 : Nokia Software Updater can't find phone

    Please help, my N95 has been nothing other than a source of misery since I got it. I'm trying to update the software in a hope that the phone will stop crashing on a regular basis, but NSU doesn't want anything to do with it.
    I'm running Windows 2000 and I've used the Nokia site to get the latest version (1.3.85 en) of NSU. I've connected the phone to the computer, Windows detects the phone as expected, but NSU never does. After a long pause I get the extraordinarily useless message:
    'Unable to find phone
    '1 Please check your phone is switched on and connected to your PC and try locating the phone again
    '2 Some phone models require that you select the correct connection type from the phone. In such a case, make sure that you have selected the default or PC Suite mode.
    'If the problem persists it means Nokia Software Updater does not support your phone model.'
    To answer 1 - the phone is on, connected and I've tried several times.
    To answer 2 - I've tried all the modes supported by the N95 including PC Suite mode.
    The problem persists, the Nokia site tells me that my phone is supported and that an update is available - so the last part is also wrong.
    I've uninstalled NSU, restarted the machine and reinstalled - nothing.
    Has anyone got any idea what could be wrong? I'm pretty much at breaking point with the N95 and this is doing nothing to improve my opinion of the machine. I want to like the N95, but it's making things hard. Taking it to a Nokia store is not an option, there are none in my area, there is no over-the-air option to do the update, so I *MUST* use NSU if I want a usable phone.
    Thanks in advance.
    Mike.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick reply, but no luck so far.
    My firewall is ZoneAlarm. I switched it off and tried again with the updater - no luck.
    I then reinstalled Nokia PC Suite for the N95 *AND* Nokia Software Updater for the N95, restarted Windows (again disabling ZoneAlarm) and tried to reconnect the phone.
    Nothing. PC Suite never finds the phone, NSU gives the same useless error message.
    Windows DOES see the phone, if I click on the USB Connect/Disconnect icon in the system tray I see:
    Nokia N95 USB Phone Parent
    However, the little icon has a yellow warning exclamation mark on it which is usually a sign of trouble. Clicking [Properties] tells me:
    Device type: Wireless Communication Devices
    Manufacturer: Nokia
    Location Nokia N95
    Device status
    This device cannot start
    I'm not sure if this is the cause of the problem.
    I've tried using various cables, connecting directly to the computer rather than through a hub, USB 1 rather than USB 2, but still no luck.
    Is it time to call an exorcist?

  • Nokia Software Updater Lost connections with E63 ...

    i'm trying update the firmware of Nokia E63, but the Nokia Software Updater always lost the connections after some minutes with the E63. Can someone help me?

    Thank You, but I did not find support in these links.
    I am trying to upgrade the fimware of my E63, but the nokia-software-update always loses the connection to the phone. It alert that the procedure is to remove the battery, the USB cable and the charger and put the cable, the battery and charger. I do all these procedures, but not work, the phone restarts and the nokia-software-update begin with the same error.
    When it lose the connection, the PC stays with sound as placing and removing the USB cable several times.
    I tried too remove all nokia software, run the Nokia_PC_Suite_Cleaner and reinstall the PC_Suite and nokia-software-update, but nothing...
    I'm using the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and my PC is a XP updated with the latest service pack (3). 
    Thank your help.

  • Unable to load Nokia Software Updater

    Due to problems with my PC, I have had to re-load PC Suite and Software Updater. PC Suit loaded fine but the Software Updater gives this message:
    "The version of Nokia Software Updater already installed on this PC is newer than the one you are trying to install. The installation will not continue".
    I have downloaded the latest version, and there is no other one loaded as I un-installed all the Nokia software. This is obviously a Registry issue, can someone help in resolving it?
    Thanks

    I think you can download and install NSU separately. I'd probably uninstall the lot (PC Suite, Cable driver and NSU), then download and install the latest versions of PC Suite and NSU.

  • Nokia software update whilst connected through the...

    Hi,
    I have a nokia 6500 slide v6.60.
    I connect my laptop via this to the internet. 
    I have run the update software and it tells me version 9.40 is available. 
    If I now proceed with this does any one know what will happen. As in, does the NSU download the new version fully to a temperorary folder before updating it to the phone( obvioiusly on restart of phone the internet connection would drop and if new version still downloading and taking affect all hell could breakloose  .
    Is there somewhere I could just manually download the new version then apply the update???
    Many thanks in advance
    Micosmiling

    It should work in theory, then again I wouldn't like to be the guy putting that theory to the test
    NSU does indeed download the full firmware package before toggling the phone into flash mode and uploading that package. FWIW, it also keeps that firmware package so that you can re-install it into the phone without having to download it all over again if the update fails first time.
    How NSU will react if the phone about to be updated is also the modem, meaning that the Internet connection gets severed suddenly, is anyone's guess.

    This seems to be a problem not with the phone (Nokia N70) but with Windows.
    You should make sure that Windows Firewall or Anti Virus Applications such as Norton Antivirus permit the Nokia Software Updater application to connect to the Internet.
    You need to configure exclusions, for example enable the application in Windows Firewall or in Norton AntiVirus go to 'Internet Worm Protection' and go to 'Program Control' then add the Updater application which resides at the following path:
    "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Nokia Software Updater\nsu_ui_client.exe"
    After that run the application again (you may possibly have to restart). The application will then connect to the Internet and detect your phone.
    You'll probably find (like me) however that the phone already has the most current firmware.
    Take care running firmware updates though, sometimes they can be more costly than any benefits, especially if something goes wrong.
    Best of luck.

  • Nokia Software Updater for N70 crashing

    Hi
    Am having trouble using Nokia Software Updater with my N70. I would be really grateful if anyone can help.
    The Software Updater launches ok (although sometimes takes an age to get to stage of blue progress bar appearing), the welcome page appears, I click 'Start', 'Getting Started' page appears, I click 'Next' and then programme crashes with following error message from Windows:
    'nsu_ui_client.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience'
    For info I am running :
    Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop with Windows XP SP2, PC Suite 6.81.13.0 (PC Suite is off)
    Connecting to N70 via cable, Connectivity Cable Drivers Version 6.81.1.2
    N70 on Vodafone UK firmware V 5.0609.2.0.1 01-03-06 RM-84.
    Nokia Software Updater 1.0.86en (tried reinstallation once)
    MacAfee firewall is off (same result when on, no error message from firewall), Windows firewall is off.
    All help appreciated

    Hi
    Follow up to previous message.
    New behaviour today, Updater this time hangs and just sits there on 'Setting up the Update, Loading a List of Supported Phone Models ...'. Seems to do this whether my phone is connected or not.
    Am wondering if there is a connection between this issue and the one reported in my other post : http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=6699
    (this has now been resolved as you will see if your follow the thread)
    Any ideas out there?

  • Nokia N95 not updating using the Nokia Software Up...

    Hi guys
    just got my n95 today, it has v10 fw on it and i would like to update it to v12.
    ive downloaded and installed latest pc suite and downloaded the latest nokia update software
    i run the updater and it says found new software (v12), please tick the box to acknowledge etc etc
    so i click on ok, and it says updating....
    then 2 mins later i get this screen:
    http://aycu30.webshots.com/image/24429/2000451008485701969_rs.jpg
    Which says "phone recovery - please remove battery and restart the phone"
    so i got to take battery out and retry, but i get the same error. not too sure what to do now? the fw it downloaded was 113mb.
    i have tried it on vista pc/laptop and a xp pro pc and still get the same error.
    ive tried using different usb ports, connected the usb directly to pc (without any hubs etc) and still get the same error.
    it looks like this n95 doesn't want to be updated. The n95 still works though, i just want to update its software
    anyone had any thing similar? is there anything else i could try?
    any help is much appreciated

    Handsets that allow for updating, have a small piece of software within them often called the boot loader, that allows the new upgraded software to be flashed into the device.
    If the Boot Loader is damaged, then the upgrade of the device software from the Nokia Software updater cannot be performed.
    A Nokia care point is able to rectify this because they can use the service connector on the handset to reflash the software with their equipment.
    This will be done for free if your handset is in warranty.

  • My mac is telling me i have no software updates available, but i do! i don't have the most recent ios software and i cannot update itunes or sync my recently updated iphone without it. help!

    i am currently on the osx 5.8 operating system. I just downloaded the new iphone 5 software and cannot sync it with my itunes on this computer because it doesn't have the most current version of itunes which i discovered i cannot download without an iosx oeprating system. I have run software update 10 times, started and restarted the computer and the program. help! what do i need to do to switch over to the ios-x operating system....or whatever the most current version is called. if i have to pay for it, that's fine. i have just been routed and rerouted through the apple store trying to figure it out. can someone help me please!

    Hello,
    There are two different things here, an OS update and a software update.
    Mac OS X 10.5 is the version of OS while the .8 at the end is the software update (release patches)
    The most current software update for Mac OS X 10.5 is 10.5.8
    No more software updates available. You would need to upgrade the OS, which would be to Mac OS X 10.6
    Your new iPhone 5 would require iTunes 10.6 which is only available for OS X version 10.6.8 or later.
    Your would therefore need to upgrade your Macbook to this version of OS.
    It maybe brought on DVD via Apple directly (Contact Apple ) or using any good online vendor like Amazon.
    Best of luck

  • Nokia Software Team...Why all the update problems?...

    Do the nokia software team ever look at this forum? I really dont think so because they would know the problems that people, not just on this forum, but also other forums are having with the Nokia Service Updates. I do realise that many people have updated various models with success, but also a great number have had many different problems. Certain key features no longer work, phone dies totally half way through updating, phone freezes, wifi problems, and these are just a few of the problems encountered. Firmware and software updates are meant to eliminate these problems NOT create them. You really would think that the years of experience in this industry that nokia would get it right. I have used various Sonyericsson phones in the past and successfully updated the software at home using their update service on many ocassions and never had a single issue. My N91 has been taken to the service center, and i will never have the confidence to try and update at home again!!

    I have posted before on this subject.
    Im sure many users have had success with this fantastic bit of kit , and is welcomed by some who do not have a local Nokia Service centre, and annoys others who's handset is not supported yet !
    I have been reading many posts from users who have lost items from the menu systems and other features and worse their handsets going off line.
    I would like to bet that when this came online the Nokia engineers were shaking their heads in dismay waiting for their doors to open for people coming in with a frustrated worried look on their faces.

  • Does the Nokia software updater version 1.4.64 sup...

    Does the Nokia software updater version 1.4.64 support N85?
    When I tried to update and the massage always appear "Unable to retrieve phone information" Does anyone having the same problem?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Got the same problem: Unable to retrieve phone information.
    I reinstalled Nsu -> did not help. Same error.
    I am using the general Profile and restarted the phone several times (plus removing battery) etc etc.
    My product code is 0572856.
    My custom version is 10.045.203.2 (29.09.08)
    According to my phone provider there is a newer software available. I got the problem that the caller-id is not always shown when the contact is saved in the phone: When i save my second number in my n85 contacts with the international dial code, i can see the contacts name when receiving SMS only, but not if i get called from that number. When i remove the international dial code i can see the contact's name when i get called but not when i receive a SMS. I have only one contact saved in my phone (no duplicates!). Tried to move it to sim memory, to either use one memory or both memories. Nothing helps. Whether the number is from the same phone provider or not does not make any difference. I cant save both formats in one contact either.
    According to my phone provider this is a known bug and can be removed by downloading the latest firmware for N85.
    But i cant download anything, dont even know if there is really a newer software to download for my above mentioned version.
    i tried to download nsu-versions in other languages, but that did not help too.
    any help/suggestions?
