Nokia Nseries :: N8 Is Dead After Last Update?
Jan 2, 2012
after an update with Nokia suite yesterday night my N8 wont start anymore. after initiating the update (25.xxx) it was downloading and starting the update. after a while it end with an errormessage. I do exactly remember but it was something like critical connection error. remove cable and restart the telefon for restoring your N8. After this the update will continue. But nothing like this happens. The n8 wont start. It vibrates on time and the display stays black. When i connect with USB cable, the windows USB connection sound appears and after about 5 seconds the disconnection sound appears. thats all. The charging LED is flashing for a while and after about 1 minute this also stops. Pressing the on/off button for abput 10 sec its vibrating 3 times and thats it. I bought this N8 in Libya. It had an aribic language set. I dont do any flashing or other experiments. But some days before i installed some Qt installation files manualy from the Qt symbian 3 development kit on the phone. I have done this for testing some small test applications which i produced with this kit. Maybe these causes the corruption of the phone. But the main question is how to wake up the phone? In the country where i am now is no Nokia service center available. But when i connect with USB cable two device driver are activated with name Nokia parent/generic flashing device

Yesterday a message appeared on my Nokia 808: 'important software update available'. I went ahead with the installation; it informed me that it needed to restart and then I got a white screen with a dialog box saying something along the lines of "don't try to make calls during installation". Okay, sure.
I went to the bathroom and when I got back, black screen. The 3 physical buttons at the bottom were all lit up. I left it alone for about 10 minutes, still the same. I then tried to press & hold the power button, but nothing happened. Decided to leave it overnight.
This morning, the 3 buttons were no longer lit up. Removed & re-inserted battery, nothing. Tried various 3 and 4 finger salutes found online, nothing. Tried to connect to to PC, menu button starts flashing (presumably that's an indication it's charging?). Nokia Suite doesn't recognise the device, but it will ocassionally tell me I connected a Nokia device via a non-compatible USB mode, and it will also give me 'device disconnected' messages. Hmm.
Note that my battery was close to full before I started the update.
Okay, so it's not 100% dead at least, but I'm guessing I'm gonna have to RMA it. Wanted to check here first though.

I updated my N8 to Belle using Nokia Suite few hours ago. Half hour ago my phone has switched itself off and can't start it. When I press the power button it shows Nokia and after that the loading screen (those 5 white points) for like 30 second with the menu button light turned on and after that it shuts down.

Insted of writing any hate speach i will just request Nokia to spend good time in testing products before releasing in market...silly thing are giving more bad publicity than doing any good for Nokia.Now, can anyone tell me how do i solve this SMS problem... under all profiles, General, Outdoor etc.. the phone does not give any alert (sound or vibrate).I read other blogs, deleted all the SMS, inbox, outbox (also faced problem deleting MMS...deferred)...Even after deleting all messages by select all and delete..the conversation still shows them all...and there is no way to delete them...Bottom line... what needs to be done to get SMS notification..sound/vibrate back in place on N8?

I've updated my N97 wth v2.2 about a week ago or so. There was no problem updating. After the udate though, i started experiencing some problems. The phone kept restarting itself. As it restarts, a few lines (similiar to atomic absorptions spectra lines) appear on the screen. This bothered me, so i thought i'd reinstall the update. The update started successfully until the phone restarted but never waked up! Before this tho, the update kept failing (showing error that my phone was longer connected, I'm using OVI suite 2.2.0.245 ), but I kept disconnection the usb till the update started successfully. So what I want to tell you guys is that, watch out for v2.2 issues.

I tried to update my phone's firmware from v4.13 to v5.16. I downloaded NSU and everything was fine until at some point during the update I had to recover the connection,a couple of times,but after that according to NSU the update was successful.
I looked at my 5320 XpressMusic and it's screen's backlight was turn on but the screen was black,the keyboard and everything else were(and have been since then) off and showed no signs of life. I removed the battery and tried to turn in on but all I got was a vibration and backlight,no sound no handshake no nothing.I can't even turn it off so I have to mess with the battery every single time i want it to restart......

Got the phone in trade, so no warranty...Phone works perfectly fine before any of this happens. Basically got the nokia software, updated ect. Go to update the firmware and do what the instructions says. It downloads the firmware and starts to install...halfway through says cable disconnected. Clearly it is not, but i do what the instructions says to reconnect it. It tells me to disconnect, take out batter, reinsert usb then battery and then hit retry. Works, but same problem, halfway thought it "disconnects". After trying this about 5 times i give up. I hit cancel. Now the phone is dead, nothing, can't hard reset, can't turn on. NOTHING.Currently have the phone without battery as someone online (googled) had similar situation and he left the phone for 6hours and it magically worked again...i don't think it will work but i have to try...

My phone told me i had to update it to new software.So I connected it to my computer (running win7).I started the nokia phone update software, which correctly identified my phone etc. It told me it was normal it could say the phone got disconnected.After a few minutes, it told me my phone was disconnected and I had to unplug it, unplug battery, put everything back in and press power for 1 second to resume updating. That doesn't workHard resetting with shift + space + backspace also doesn't work. The phone vibrates for a second and does nothing. I do see a little red light inside the navi-pad.

I've been trying for hours to update my N8 to Belle with the Nokia Suite installed from Nokia yesterday, but after the screen goes blank I end up in an endless loop of "Connection Lost" and retrying. I kept trying for over three hours yesterday, and again today. So, I tried to install via "Check for Updates" on the phone itself, but this says "No updates". Is there a way around this?

I checked the Software upate application in my Nokia N8 and it says N8-00 Device software - Use your PC to update So I downloaded the latest Nokia Suite 3.3 and I checked the updates available there and I did not get anything for Nokia Belle. I also checked my product code 0599330 in the Nokia Belle availability page and it says available.

Today I made a mistake by updating my Nokia C5-03 because it changed some things, like now the clock is bigger and I have emoticons/smileys in writing messages. I don't like it at all, I know I can't disable emoticons, but can I remove the entire update I made? I only went to settings, phone management, device updates, check for updates and I downloaded them.
