Cseries :: Nokia C5-00 Unusable After Firmware Update?
Oct 27, 2011
I was updating my Nokia C5-00 (RM-645) from Nokia Ovi Suite 3.1.1.90 (latest downloaded today). I was updating to latest release of 071.005. C5-00 battery was fully charged and I was updating through my laptop. Nokia Ovi suite downloaded firmware (some 128mb). while installing after some 4-5 min in the midway of installing it noticed "something wrong". It instructed me to remove micro usb from phone and reconnect it. I did like that again and again it gave same instructions and at last nothing happened.
Now my phone is switched off and it's not getting on... I can feel the vibration when I press Power on button but It's not working and even I tried (*+3+Green+Power on) button combition to reset, even that's also not working.. Now if I connect to Ovi suite, my phone is not ditected by Ovi suite. what I have to do now?
Yesterday evening Ovi Suite proposed new firmware (14.002). I tried to install it, which was a mistake During the installation Suite lost connection to the phone and as I checked the phone it was in test mode. It didn't respond to any keys so I had to remove the battery. After that the phone has been dead. When I try to boot it up or try to hard reset it with three-finger-salute the only response is a short vibration. After vibration the phone stays dead.Removing battery does not change anything.
When I tried to update the firmware in a Mexican made Nokia C7 (Latest available software for your device: Version::013.016), it said it had the latest but when I updated the same model made in Hungary the firmware was (Latest available software for your device: Version::025.007) much newer than in the former one. Why is this?
I was updating the firmware of my C7 today when my computer crashed and BSOD appeared. Now, the phone is dead and I am unable to start it up. When I push the power on button, the phone vibrates for a second and that's it!
I owned nokia C6-01 for about 2 months and update my firmware to PR1.2. I also put the 'notification widget' on my first homescreen. The notification will notify incoming message and miss call event. Recently, I noticed that widget didn't prompt any message notification even though I received a new message. I thought this must be widget problem. So I remove that widget.
However, when received new message, the phone not show a new message alert. But, the message icon (on top right,if in portrait mode) can be accessed to preview the message. To revert back my phone to normal, which to normalized 'notification widget', I restarted the phone. And put back 'notification widget' on my first homescreen. Then, everything was fine. Until for a few days,the problem same still after my phone.
The update has made the wi-fi next to unusable. I have removed the Wi-Fi connection and re-entered it. Power cycled the phone, done a battery pull. Nothing fixes the issue. Try running a speed test it either fails consistently with "network communication failure" or the bandwidth is horrendous. I never had such issues before the update. The issue is not only at home even at work. I was wondering if others were seeing such abysmal performance. I have NEVER rooted my phone. I wish I had and switched to community ROM, they seem to be doing a better job than a corporation like Motorola. I just wish Motorola never updated this phone, every update has caused the phones performance to deteriorate. The Droid X could have been a worthy successor to the Droid but Motorola just screwed it up. I have been a loyal motorola and verizon customer for close to 10 years now. When my contract gets done one thing is for certain I will never ever be buying another Motorola device nor will I ever recommend a Motorola device ever again. Releasing half a dozen devices every year is only what Motorola is good at
I installed the OTA update from Verizon tonight. Everything seemed to go smoothly until it got to the home screen and I tried to use it. At first none the screen was unresponsive. I tried pressing the bottons on the phone and it just causes the screen to go through some blanking process over and over. I got a couple of messages including one that said process system is not responding and a button to fc or wait.
I have done numerous battery pulls and restarted. I have also tried restarting without the sd card installed. All yeild the same result...The phone is completely ususable in it's current state.
I can`t update my Nokia C3-00 firmware to v08.70 as Nokia Suite or Nokia Software Updater... I`m recieving an error that my connection to the phone have been lost and I have to follow some steps in adition to restore the connection but it doesn`t restore; I recieve a blank screen on the phone "Test mode" and i have to eject the battery and put it back and it comes to normal but no sign of v08.70...
there is some misbehaviour with my phn software, so i want to reinstall its firmware, for that let me know from wher to download it and reinstalling procedure.
I have C3-00 with firmware v8.71. I noticed that when making or receiving a call, even with the volume set to 10 bars, when someone is standing next to me, he cannot hear the voice of the one am talking to. My friend has C3-00 with firmware V8-63, when he receives or makes a call, when you are standing next to him, you can hear the voice of the person he is talking to and you can reduce the volume in order for somone next to you not to ehar what you are discussion. Is it about the firmware or is it just my phone?I want to know so if I have to reverse back to V8.63 by flashing the phone or maintaining V8.71.
my NOKIA C7 totally hangs and i need to get the battery off and on again to start my c7 again.,that happen while i am typing a text msg., other c7 users if it is happening on your c7 also?
I'm base in Sydney Australia and have just received a msg from Nokia that I can update my firmware for my N900.(firmware version 10.2010.19.)The problem is that I receive a message that I could not update because of: poor-quality ,slow or intermittent internet connection. This could also be because of problems with our servers. Is it that NSU does not support N900 and if so why would Nokia sell a phone and not provide software to update the phone with.
I wanted to intsall Mail For Exchange, and the Nokia E72 NAM doesnt seem to have it when I bought it (unless you can direct me to it). I decided to follow the instructions to install it, but it requires me to update the ovi store. I dont know if this will update the firmware as well, but i heard that the newest firmware (v031.032 i believe) is very buggy, so i want to avoid this until another firmware comes out.Can someone help? if its already on the phone, i just need to know where it is. If its not on the phone, will updating the ovistore affect anything in terms of new firmware or other sorts? The reason i want to install this is to utilize the google calendar so i dont have to keep plugging the e72 into the computer (and possibly damaging the plastic usb cover).
I keep having an error on boot-up where, after the Nokia logo comes and goes, the flashing dot sequence continues indefinitely, for hours; boot-up is never completed. The N900 becomes unusable. While in this "Forever Dots" state, if I try:
- tapping on/off button: flashing dots pause for a moment, then continue flashing forever as before- holding on/off button: device switches off; but when I switch it back on, after the Nokia logo we're back to the forever flashing dots- taking out the battery and replacing: same as holding on/off button..............
22.007 has been out since forever, and it's basically only the second update since this phone was introduced. Has Nokia forgotten the E72? It sure needs a firmware update: -Little available memory, applications (especially the browser with a big website) terminate for nothing and "memory full" messages occur very frequently. This is actually the biggest issue. -The camera application sometimes is quite buggy and even the phone restarts after a photo is taken. -videos have some lag, especially if you zoom while shooting and using the phone memory doesn't help very much. -sometimes (especially in the ovi store app) if you start typing in a box the first two letters appear in the opposite order than typed. -The gallery application can't be terminated using the app manager (by pressing the home button for a couple of seconds) when the app is hidden. -The trackpad sensitivity could be improved (especially when using it in the browser).
i want to update my nokia e75 via usb cable.actual firmware is 110.48.125 new firmware is 202.12.01.i tried it with *#0000#.look for updates.connection failed...i have tried it even over ovi suite and nokia pc suite.firmware is downloaded to my pc. but during installation, i get following report; installation failed, check usb cable ....if i transfer videos or pictures over ovi suite or nokia pc suite, i don"t have any problems. it"s working perfekt without breaking
So far it is working fine, battery does not last like my N95. I 've been reading a lot of blogs about people having issues after updating firmware, i am currently running 1.2009.44-1.002
I called Nokia to ask if they have any updates and the rep told me to wait because pple are having issues and they expect to roll one out soon. Soon with no date. My question is, should I update the firmware, and whats the best way to do it so i don't run into issues ?
I'm currently running firmware version 20.2.019 and when I put my phone's info (RM-507, product code 0576111) into Nokia's website it tells me V21.2.045 is available. However, when I try to download the firmware via OTA or NSU, it tells me no updates are available. What would be preventing me from updating the firmware? Is there another way to download it or is my only option sending the phone to Nokia?
The update seems to be great with the following exeption:
It has rendered the music player almost unusable!
With the previous music player, you could press the "Back" button and it would take you to your list of music or podcasts. Now the "Back" button just dumps you all the way out to the phone's home screen (just like the end button.) Now, in order to go to your playlist you have to "options", "go to music library", "albums (or podcasts or playlist etc)" then find the album or playlist you were playing, then find your song or track. That's 5 more steps than necessary. The back button is very inportant with the way this media player was designed. You can't just eliminate it in such a way. What good is the improved scroling in the music player if you take away our ability to navigete.
This would be such an easy fix. Just make the Music player's "Back" buton do what it used to do instead of duplicating what the "end call" button already does.
The media player on a device is very inportant. The one on this device is very ordinary. But i put up with it because I am a loyal and very very patient nokia user. I waited 8 long months for this update. And now you just took my media player away. You are very close to making a 12 year nokia user switch to Android. Nokia, please give me back my "back" button. and don't make me wait a long time for it.
in the last week of 2009 i got a text messege from "MyNokia" service notifying that there was a new firmware update for my n82, the v35 i think. The thing is, until today it is unnavailable in the NSU. Anyone updated it already or still waiting like me?
I'd be very interested in hearing (please) users experiences with the latest firmware update for the E71 (v.410.21.010). Is this a worthwhile update, or does it result in more problems than it solves?
I believe that it adds the latest OviMaps with Voice Navigation, but that can be added by a direct download/installation.Are there any other must have components to the v410.21.010 firmware?Having experienced a lot of grief the last time I upgraded my fw <E71-firmware-update-messed-up-data-connections>, I am being slightly more cautious this time.
I've just attempted to update my E72 to the latest firmware using the OTA feature. In fact I made the upgrade via my WIFI connection. The downlod succeeded, then the E72 updated the firmware and rebooted.The problem is that my E72 isn't rebooting at all. After it switched off (for the reboot cycle) it could not start anymore.When I'm powering it on, the display shows some background activities, then there is a line and finally it switches off.It seems that the firmware update broke the OS. Has anyone encountered a similar behavior ?
Finally got my mitts on one of these amazing phones and loving everything about it.However the euphoria is being slowly eroded by Vodafone's lack of support and knowledge of the device.Since taking delivery of the handset on 4th of March, it and I have been unable to find any firmware updates through the normal channels (Nokia's own update page, NSU and the OTA update search can't find any updates beyond the 1.2009.42-11.205.1). According to Vodafone the latest firmware for the device should be 2.2009.51.1.
I know there's a Maemo Flashing Tool available and have downloaded it and the firmware, but I can't get an answer from Vodafone whether this will void my Vodafone warranty.
I'm concerned that as it won't update now, it won't update when Meego hits the servers.
On the Nokia web site I could see that for my N95 classic (RM-159) the latest firmware is 35.0.002 is available.But when connecting my N95 to OVI i am told that 31.0.017 is the latest being available.Can somebody shed a light on that please?
I recently bought an N97, apparently I got the non-original one. Can the non-original N97 get the firmware update? I'm having a lot of trouble with this. When I plug the USB cable in to my phone, and then the cable in to the computer, the Mass Storage works, and when I put COM PORT, it said it needed a driver and installed in the MT6225. But here's the big issue. PC SUITE won't detect my phone. Nokia Software Updater won't detect my phone. I'd really like to update the firmware....
I'm also having some trouble with the games and themes. When I put them on my memory card via cable / Mass Storage, I can't run them. I click on the options and there is no "use" or "play". Just forward, details, mark, delete, and some of the other basic options.
