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).

Firmware Update for E71s from E-Plus Germany

Dear all,
I was wondering why the firmware update for the Nokia E71 has been out and about for quite some time, but there is still no update available for my E71 which I have bought from the German provider E-Plus. It has no branding nor any visible other customizations for E-Plus. It's product code: 0569284.
Any date for the firmware update?
Thanks.
-Franz

No it isn´t a fraud, the product code only tells you about the software branding (not all software brandings are equally aggressive) and doesn´t automatically means that is has to have operator logos all over the place...
For more information on that have a look at this.
Probably the phone you bought was bought from e-plus in some way. Did it come with a e-plus contract?
By clicking the "Kudos!" or the "Solution?" button on the right you can say "Thank You" and you´ll show the author and others that the post is useful.

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.

M20 firmware update for wps vulnerability

Can someone advise when Cisco will be releasing a firmware update for the Valet M20 router to address the WPS vulnerability problem (e.g. disable the feature, something which *should* have been incorporated into the router in the first place).
Thanks.

Cisco... does not care... about Valet people.
The most recent firmware was released in the 1920's, I believe. It's common practice in the technology sector as a whole to consider electronics as "legacy" devices after about 6 months to a year. Wish DD-WRT ran on this, your configuration choices are pretty much SSID, router's IP and the ability to enable or disable DHCP. Compared to open source firmwares like DD-WRT and Tomato... or even compared to other router firmwares (D-Link firmwares give a lot more control and access to advanced configuration settings-- if you can handle it). I think it's pretty clear that the intended market focus for these routers were... the users who... did not plug the power cord into the router because it said it was "wireless".
Uh oh, did I say that out loud? No... I typed it, though.
The hilarious thing about this is I work as a systems/network admin and have 20 years of experience... and this router gave me trouble when I just decided to be lazy and try setting it up using WPS and the setup program. What a disaster! I finally just did a hard reset and logged in via browser and did it the real way... but I found that extremely amusing, that by dumbing things down so much, it actually made the process (to me, at least) 10x more complicated!
Oh... I threw this one in place of my normal router because it has been acting really flaky lately... it has served its time and paid its dues, surely. I picked up the M20 on clearance for like $10 I think-- for this very purpose... to keep as a backup in my closet if my normal router decided to kick the bucket.
I'm online, so... I guess this Valet M20 is serving its purpose but the lack of configurability is just plain painful! You know what would be a great idea? For Linksys/Cisco to supply an alternative "advanced user" firmware that isn't concerned with giving users enough rope to hang themselves with. People like me and other users who know what they're doing will already know how to flash it and get going-- don't even bother with user guides and pleasantries. Not needed. Also not needed? The splitting headache that swap gave me. A "5-minute task" became a "45-minute chore". I did install the iPhone admin app and found it to be just as watered down.
It seems an odd thing to me that you'd add the option to totally change the SSID or password (something that would require you to update the configuration on all of your wireless clients), yet left out access to things that would be much more practical and useful from a smartphone-- like being able to view the logs-- I would actually find that very useful. I already know that it's a Valet M20. Could have skipped that. Now, being able to reboot the router without having to get up and go to the computer or have to go to the web admin page on my phone, strain to find that option on a page only coded for desktop display... that's useful. The guest enable/disable would be useful, too... if there were any guests here. For some reason, I can't get anyone to hang out... LOL. Ok, rant is finished, I was just testing the connection and ended up here after getting the latest firmware. Thought I'd take a moment to share my thoughts since I'm biding my time, waiting on someone at the moment. This post is an artifact and memorium of the time killed typing it up. Yeah, that's sort of a self-referencing, paradox-ish type thought, hmm. Ok, hah. Really leaving now...

Why no 15-inch SMC Firmware update?

Apple has just released a firmware update for 17-inch Macbook pros which according to a friend of mine significantly reduces the heat. However, why the heck haven't they also released an update for the 15-inch macbook pros? Does anyone know if they are planning to?

i think something alot of people get cought up in it the cpu temperature, Im on my second mpb, first one replaced for heat issues, but the issue wasnt the cpu temp it was the case temp, which most of the time was far to hot to touch. My replacement mbp has about the same cpu temps as the last one but the case temperature is alot cooler, I see alot of posts on this forum from people about how high their coreduotemp readings are but to be honest i wouldnt care if my cpu idles at 200 degrees celcius as long as the case stays at an acceptable temperature. I think the problem with alot of peoles mbp's is how the system deals with the heat produced by the processor. My replacement seems to deal with the temperatures produced extremely well. So heat sinking and fans all seem to be doing the job here

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

Firmware Update for WAG200G to fix Security Hole

Hello,
I use a Linksys WAG200G with firmware version 1.01.09, and recently became aware that this particular model has a publicly known exploitable backdoor (See: http://www.businessinsider.com/cisco-warns-about-security-hole-2014-1 for more info).
Has this security hole been fixed? If yes, where can I download an update for it?
Thanks for your time,
Sam

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.

Sonnet firmware update for OS X

Here's instructions I received from Sonnet on how to do the Sonnet firmware update for OS X (you don't need to boot in OS 9.2). Worked for me. Installed Sonnet Encore/ST 1.8Ghz on a G4 350 AGP system.
Note: you still need to have 4.2.8f1 firmware prior to the patch.
+Sonnet doesn't actually provide instructions on how to use the OS X software. Follow the directions below and I imagine you'll not have any problems.+
+MAC OS X USERS—Install Sonnet Firmware Patch+
+This section describes the installation of software required to support the Encore ZIF, Encore ST or ST Duet G4 in your computer. Please note you MUST run the Sonnet Firmware Updater before you install this upgrade card. If you do not run the updater, your computer will not operate with the processor upgrade installed.+
+1. Insert the Sonnet Installer CD into the CD-ROM drive. Double-click the Sonnet Install CD icon. When the Sonnet Install CD window appears, double-click the Mac OS X ONLY folder.+
+2. Double-click the Sonnet Firmware Updater icon; Mac OS X’s built-in Install program will launch. Follow the onscreen directions to complete the installation of the Sonnet Firmware Updater and Sonnet Firmware Remover applications to your Applications folder.+
+3. Shut down your computer.+
+4. Press and hold the programmer's button until you hear a long tone; release the button when you hear the tone. Note: programmer's button is the little tiny pinhole on the front of a Quicksilver.+
+4a. For QuickSilver 2002: While holding the programmer's button, press and hold the 'start-up' button on the front of the Mac. When the Mac starts up, release the start-up button. Continue to hold the programmer's button and when you hear a long tone, release it.+
+5. Once the startup process is complete and you have logged in (if necessary), go the Finder and select Go > Applications from the Apple menu.+
+6. Locate Sonnet Firmware Updater, and then double-click its icon to launch the application.+
+7. When the Sonnet Firmware Updater window appears, click OK.+
+8. When the Authenticate window appears, enter the Administrator password, and then click OK.+
+9. When the Wait message appears, DO NOT CLICK OK; just wait. Clicking the OK button will cause the application to quit. After the Wait message disappears, another message will appear indicating that the ROM is being patched. Do not turn the power off; this process may take several minutes.+
+10. When the message stating that the ROM has been patched appears, click OK. Shut down your computer; you may now install the Encore ZIF, Encore ST or ST Duet processor upgrade card.+
+Support Note: After updating your system’s firmware with the Sonnet firmware installer, you do not need to install the other software located in the Mac OS X ONLY folder on the Sonnet Installer CD; that software is used for other processor upgrade cards by Sonnet.+

Coming in late on this discussion, but I just discovered this post in a search for an answer to my problem getting a Sonnet Encore ST 1 GHz processor to work in my G4. No disk came with my processor, however I have downloaded the firmware patch and cache enabler from Sonnet's website.
The problem is the processor installs and after a cuda reset will boot. However after some time the computer shuts dow and on restart all I get is a blank screen. Light comes on front of the G4 and fans as if it is searching for a boot disk, but the screen is blank- no signal from the computer. Replaced the original processor and it boots normally.
I don't think the patch ever installed properly. Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated.

Firmware update for HP Photsmart 5514 will not install

I cannot install firmware update for HP Photosmart 5514

Hi,
What version of firmware is your printer currently running? The easiest way to find that is to go to the Wrench icon->Tools and then print out a printer status report.
How were you trying to install the update for the printer? With the User interface on the printer or with the downloadable software.
What error message do you get when it tries to install the update?
I am an Hp Employee.

Firmware update for Superdrive G4 Mini

The latest firmware update for "some" superdrives had me hoping that the nagging problem would be fixed, alas, no luck.
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-845C:
Firmware Revision: DPP9
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2048 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW, +R, +RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: Yes
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Now I know for a fact that this drive does support burning -DL DVDs, except it has been crippled by Apple. Thank you.
What are the odds this would ever be rectified?

Hello,
What are the odds this would ever be rectified?
Not likely.
The Mac Mini G4 is now a discontinued product.
Apple will generally only go backwards to fix problems. They don't usually go back to add features to machines that have been discontinued and replaced with a new model.
So, if there was an update necessary to restore operation of the drive, then they would probably release one.
But, if there was a way to enable the drive to burn media it doesn't currently burn, then they are not going to do it now.
They are more interested in selling you a new system with the features you want, than enabling the features you want on a product you already own.
But, that's just the way things are done.
I hope this helps.

Firmware update for e6

hi, my firmware update for e6 doesnt wanna connect. Any time i try checking for updates. It tells me server not responding. And i saw an option where server profiles can be created. Need help and advice. Thanks

I've just upgraded a few weeks ago from a Nokia E71 to a Nokia E6-00.
I've had 3 no. E71 over last 3 years and without doubt, one of the best nokia phones I've had.
Having used the E6-00 for 2 weeks now, I'm reasonably happy but there are a few annoying features:
1. Normally my phone is locked, i.e. timed to lock after 5 mins. When a call comes in, I can answer the phone but I cannot place it in loudspeaker mode !!. Until I unlock it, which takes a few moments while I tell the person to hold on.
I try to minimise the use of the phone to my ear and use loudspeaker 90% of the time.
It would be great if nokia in the next update to allow to place the call in loudspeaker mode from a locked and answered call state. i.e. provide a loudspeaker button from the locked screen.
2. The email send & recieve is sketchy, works sometimes, doesn't work most times and when downloading the email content, takes forever just for text content !!, when downloading an attachment...go and have dinner before its ready.
Email on the E6-00 is configured to get email from a pop email server.
3. The left and right bottom screen buttons (i.e. (Options and Menu) are not configurable anymore like they were in the E71. I liked to have them as Clock and Log.
4. Battery life is not as good as the E71 but thats just an observation, not expecting miracles here, however, it is still better than most smart phones ... but just not as good as the old E71.
5. Web browser could be better, although way faster than
Overall, though, I think it will be the right move from my trusted E71, provided the loudspeaker problem in 1 above is sorted.
Best Regards,
dcphone
