Phone: Reset to Factory defaults and prepared to work fine.
Antivirus: Not installed
System tasks: Fresh installed
Installed:

ried to go through same process to reinstall firmware but when I click to check for the updates I don't get an option to reinstall the firmware. Tried it many times even after restarting the machine.
Then installed Nokia Software Updater .same thing as Window 7. No Update and also no option to reinstall the firmware.nstalled Nokia PC suite just as a thought of any missing file needed to run the update process. But nothing changed.Now kindly tell me HOW to install the firmware as now I just want to reinstall the firmware and sell this Nokia **bleep**.I am fed up of this and trying from last three days.
My N900 was failing to detect the PR1.2 upgrade over the air so I installed the latest versions of Nokia PC Suite and NSU and tried to do an upgrade that way. The new upgrade wasn't detected but NSU offered to allow me to reinstall the existing firmware which is Version 1.2009.42-11.205.1 so I did that and it appeared to do so successfully. N.B.
I now have a phone which doesn't detect the SIM and (even though the drivers appear to be correctly installed) PC Suite and NSU can't detect the phone via USB in PC Suite mode. I can still connect to the hard disk in USB Mass Storage mode and the general phone functions seem ok. What's my next step to get my phone back to a useful state and what did I or NSU do wrong? I would have been confident of using the flasher until NSU messed up my phone.
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.

But when my computer crashed the phone seemed to running normally and when it was finished installing it worked fine. Is it possible that it didn't finish?Either way just to be on the safe side, how do I reinstall the update to be 100%?
I have lost some pre-installed Nokia Apps (Photo & Video Editor,Nokia Check in,Traveler,Ovi Music etc) after hard reset .I have tried to reinstall firmware via Nokia Suite,but still cant find these apps.Plz Provide me these apps.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI updated my phone firmware from v40 to v50 over the air. The download package was around 9MB in size. After the upgrade, I realised that my phone did not have all the features of v50 firmware update. For example, features like "Quick Office v4.2 integrated", "Rihanna service launcher in web browser" are missing. Then I decided to reinstall the v50 update through my laptop. So when I connected my phone with my laptop and opened the "Nokia Software Updater" it said that the update package is around 138MB. Now I face a problem. After clicking on Re-Install option in "Nokia Software Updater" the download does not stop at 138MB. Infact it does not stop at all. It goes on like 2MB of 138MB.. 4MB of 138MB.. 60MB of 138MB.. and then 200MB of 200MB... 300MB of 300MB and so on. I decided at that time to wait for some time. But it reached 350 MB and still it did not stop.
So any idea if this is expected behavior or is there a problem with my phone or the "Nokia Software Updater" software. Please note that I have the latest version of "Nokia Software Updater" installed on my laptop. Fortunately, I don't have any serious problems with my phone except that when I click on "applications" icon, it takes some time to respond.
My blackberry Pearl 8110 is dead. It was spinning an hour glass continuously. I took out the battery and waited for a couple of minutes then put the battery back. Now I only see the red light flashing. What should I do the rescue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having some 'memory leak' problems with my Nokia e71 recently so took the opportunity just now to attempt to reinstall the firmware via the Nokia Software Updater programme on my PC.It got so far (presumably to the point where it had deleted the previous version and was about to start installing the new copy) when the computer flashed up a message saying that the USB connection had been lost and that I should turn off and then on the phone again and then reconnect the USB cable to finish the job.Problem is, the phone is in a blank screen state due to being halfway through the reinstall and no amount of pressing any button turns it off, on, into any kind of useable mode and that means at the moment that I am a) without a phone, b) uncontactable and c) hugely annoyed.Putting the USB into my other computer (or indeed, restarting the initial one) doesn't do anything because with the phone to all intents and purposes 'off', neither PC detects

View 9 Replies View Relatedmy N97 mini claims to have firmware version 10.0.020. From nokia.com I learned that 11.0 or 11.2.something should be available. However, neither the PC update tool NSU nor the device itself allow an update - both say no update available.

It seems I can't download it from OVI again because OVO or my phone or both think that I've already got Skype. How can I clean up and start again, so I can download via OVI and reinstall?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI bought an unlocked 5800XM (RM-428, fw 21.2.025) for my wife a couple of months ago. It is actually Cincinnati Bell branded, but we are using it in AT&T. Until yesterday everything was going smoothly until she was not able to send SMS's anymore.
I verified the SMS center #, all other settings etc., but to no avail. I even put my SIM in the phone and I wasn't able to do that, either. The phone was able to receive messages, though. And she was able to send messages on another phone.
So... I decided to use my Nokia PC Suite and Software Updater to check if there is an update available. No, there wasn't, but I still decided to go ahead and do a reinstall. Just in case.
The process went great, no problems, error messages etc. Except a "phone disconnected" (I never touched the phone or cable while the update process was going on) message a couple of times, which the PC Suite said is okay. Until I tried turning the phone on.
NOTHING! I press the power button and the screen lights up briefly, but that's it. Then I decided to press the button a bit longer so that I would feel the usual brief vibration when turning it on. Well, there is a vibration, but it continues for about a minute, or so, and then stops. But the phone still doesn't turn on.
After update to latest firmware today my x10 mini pro cannot load home screen. It come out errorSorry! The application Home Screen (process com.sonyericsson.homescreen) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

View 7 Replies View RelatedFor as long as I can remember, Maps would crash on me whenever I'd go to Settings|Navigation. I read somewhere that reinstalling the application might fix this, so I uninstalled Maps - which apparently did not really uninstall it but only reverted it to version 2.0 - and then used Nokia Maps Updater to update it back to 3.0.
Of course, this being Nokia, nothing works as it should do, and so NMU tells me that everything's ok: "There are no new updates for your phone!". Every once in a while when I try NMU again, it does find an update, called Map Data Version 0.1.23.112, a very small download that does nothing to update Maps to 3.0.
I knew that one way of "resetting" Maps is to delete the "Cities" folder and the "QF" file. I did that and tried NMU again - still no update available. The next thing I did was a phone reset - no joy.
I thought I'd "reset" it a bit more if I go to Nokia Maps Loader and I manually delete all the stored maps. I did that, and NML had this to say: "Connection to the storage medium has been interrupted. Attach your storage medium and retry.", even though I was using the same sturdy USB cable connection I've always used with no hassles. After several retries, it probably deleted all the stored maps data, although this apparently did not help.
I then tried running the update file suggested in this post - that didn't do anything by way of allowing Maps to be updated by NMU either.
I then accustomed myself to the idea of having to go back to using Maps 2.0, but - unsurprisingly - this doesn't work either: whenever I open Maps, I receive the message "Cannot open application, install latest version from nokia.com/maps". Of course, if you go to that address you are told to use Nokia Maps Updater, and so we come full circle. Thank you, Nokia, for the quality time that we have to spend trying to compensate the lack of quality in your software.
After upgraded Maps 3.03 to 3.04, i noticed that navigation was acting strange thing.It could navigate successfully just only couple of time and then "Waiting for GPS" appears all later usage.So i decided to reinstall just only to find the haunting "Waiting for GPS" in navigation mode.i was so desperated that i uninstalled almost every application from E72.Now i'm facing the consequence;i cannot reinstall the Ovi Maps anymore.In the middle of installation, there is "Update error" appears.i checked version from Options -> Support -> About -> v3.03 (Of course)However, in App. Mgr. -> Installed apps. -> i found Ovi Maps successfully installed in E:But still lacking in phone (The Nokia Maps)That means it was partially installed. Success in drive E: but failed in Phone's memory.Test and trial1. Uninstall the sw. Do the hard reset (*#7370#) and reinstall it again. (Failed)2. Uninstall. Remove a microSD card (drive E and try to install the sw. (Failed)
Assumption:i remember that i removed something similar to "Symbian OS pipe"Could this be the cause of the pain?
I deleted the calculator application on the mobile and want to re install the application back . But i am not able to download the application from the website.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI own a nokia x6, 8gb and my lock switch broke a year back. I installed softwares such as mazelock, screenlock fx,etc which enables me to lock and unlock by using the menu key (pls note i used this software successfully for atleast 10months). I recently started facing problems wherein my phone locks itself (after 20mins of usage) and even if i press the menu key or the power key, my phone shows the slide to unlock screen but if i swipe, it doesnt actually unlock (MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOT RESPONSIVE BUT DISPLAYS THE TIME PERFECTLY). I tried all the softwares possible and this happens even with the default nokia locking software.I tried hard reset using 7370 but my phone doesnt restart.Instead i need to manually start my phone. I tried reinstalling my os using the nokia suite but everytime i get an error saying the connection to the phone was lost and MY PHONE GETS SWITCHED OFF.IT DOESNT RESTART AS ITS INTENDED TO.
