Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Thanks for the heads-up.

I have a question and hope someone can help explain to me:

 

I have an E72 RM-529 with the product code 0586764 which shows on the posted list above.

But the subject said that the firmware was for RM-530. What does this mean? and how are RM-529 and RM-530 different?

 

I understand that the first is E72-2 and the second is E72-1 but what does it mean? Can I flash my RM-529 with RM-530 firmware?

Any explanation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

This is about 3g frequencies. The E72-1 is for the global market (Europe, Asia). The E72-2 is for the North- American market. Firmware updates are device specific.

As I said before, firmware updates are device specific. You can't use firmware for another device. Use Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater to check and update your E72.

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Ok this I understand, but is it normal for my product code to show up in the list of another device?

Thank you again.

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Well, I dont know where the info from Elsamontreal came from but it's mainly about the firmware version 023.002 itself. This update is for more devices.

So what would you suggest?

I already tried NSU and it doesn't show any new update available, not even 022.xxx!!!

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Very strange, because I just checked your product code 0586764 and the latest version is 023.002. Check you code on this page:

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Which version of NSU are you using? What Windows version?

I'm using NSU 2.4.3 on Windows 7 32-bit and still cannot find any update.

Maybe I should try using Ovi Suite or NSU 2.2?

I was referring to arvuitton's post just below yours.

I checked the link you gave and you are right, but in NSU it doesn't show, maybe because I'm using NSU 2.4.3, I'll try with OVI suite.

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

I've applied firmware 023.002 which was released today and I'm quite disappointed :smileysad:

My product code is 0587218 and type is RM-530.

 

The most annoying 2 bugs I've faced so far are still there. Details in these posts:

/t5/Eseries-Devices-and/E72-spacebar-smart-dial-not-working/td-p/624544

/t5/Eseries-Devices-and/Nokia-E72-quot-alarm-set-for-later-than-entry-starts-quot/td-p/580917

 

Bluetooth headset connectivity was a major issue as well. I'll test it tomorrow on my way to work and post back the results.

 

Can anyone provide a changelog for this update?

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

Does anyone has an issue with camera function after install the new FW 023.002?

 - Filming: extreming slow recording and regularly on and off

 - Picture: too slow when processing

 

Do we know how to re-install the old one? Say 021 or 022

 

Please share

 

Cheers

@thecrow163

 

What product code did you have originally? Mine is an RM529 E72-2 and product code is 0591918. The latest software available is Version:  021.024 which is what I have had installed since purchase.

 

I would like to install the update just to get a language pack added.

Regarding the picture: too slow when processing.  Actually, I feel that even with 021.024, the "processing" takes a long time (maybe 5-6 seconds?)   I read in the FAQ that it's not possible to downgrade to an older firmware version.

 

 

I notice in the original first post, it mentions an .EXE file which seems to be an updater for the phone. I wonder, is it possible to download the .EXE file instead of going through the Ovi Suite's updater application?  I mean, if updating multiple E72's, it would make sense to download it just once and run the same .EXE file on those similar product code E72's. Instead of having to download the same thing via Ovi Suite another time.

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

jookieapcau, sorry I don't remember the product code cos I exchanged the phone with an E72-1 model.

Which languages you need to have?

 

d_t_a, the exe fw packages are used by Nokia, end users like us cannot use them without voiding the warranty.

You can use NSU to upgrade the fw, it only downloads the fw files the first time, if you want to update a second E72 phone or even reinstall the fw, NSU will flash the phone in 2 minutes cos the fw files are saved on the PC.

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

Thecrow did you get your E72-2 from Australia? I got mine from 3 (Telecom company) because I wanted to be able to use Next-G Telstra in regional areas as well as full speed in the cities. Since our product code only has V21 available we can't ungrade. I've tried changing the product code but NSU still says no new updates are available. Is there a way to install the upgrade even if you have the same version already installed?

 

I want Arabic on the E72. I did that quite easily on the E71. I may just have to try a few other product codes.

 

Anyone know how to get the executeable for the upgrade so NSU isn't required?

Re: E72 RM530 New Firmware Soon?

I got mine from Lebanon. But exchanged it again with E72-1.

There are third party programs that add arabic support to E72, I tried one and I'll pm you its name.
