Nokia Firmware Update FAQ
Jaro 9. January 2007 :: faq, firmware, nokia, software, update
I received quite many questions regarding the recent Nokia E50 Firmware Update. I know it’s frustrating when you experience problems after the update but let’s keep in mind that the software update viac pc is a young service and it might take some time for the Nokia people to kill all the bugs. Your feedback is very helpful and can improve the process in future.
I’d like to give answers to all of you but the fact is that I don’t know how to solve all the problems you came across during or after the update. Anyway, I created a list of the most common questions and we can together try to find answers. I’d like to encourage everyone who can help to participate in the comments or get straight to me by email. I know there are a few very knowledgeable folks around here.
Nokia Firmware Update FAQ
Q: Nokia Software Updater says that there is no update available for my phone but people with the same phone had successfully updated their devices
A: A few people on various forums claimed that after they reinstalled the Nokia Software Updater the update became available. Try it, if it doesn’t work keep checking every now and then. The availability of the update depends on a product code, country and even operator. I guess that Nokia releases updates in batches to prevent a huge server load.
Q: How do I know I have a new version of software/firmware?
A: Type *#0000# when in idle state, check the software version and compare it to the previous one.
Q: What exactly was updated in my phone?
A: As far as I know Nokia doesn’t release any change logs/list of updates so there is no way to check it out. Just use your phone and you’ll see ;)
Q: After the update I’m requested to input security code, why is that?
A: During the update your old security code is deleted. Insert 12345 (this is the default security code). You can change it again in Tools – Settings – Security Settings.
Q: Nokia Software Updater gives me the error message ‘Update Failed’.
A: Reinstall the updater and/or disable your pc antivirus software.
I’ll be updating this list from time to time. Feel free to ask questions in the comments below or send it straight to me by email at contact@nokiae50.info.
