How do I backup date on my Nokia 5310?

Hello everyone I just got my Nokia 5310. After much messing around, installing wallpaper, mp3's etc. I updated my firmware to the current one of 7.0.1

After update my phone completely resetted to the original layout. I lost all my data :smileysad:

How do I make backups? I mean backing up all the settings, messages, contacts etc etc.

Thanks in advance.

Re: How do I backup date on my Nokia 5310?

you should've expected that :smileyhappy:, as this is a complete software update. also, NSU warns you to backup before you start updating.
anyway , what's done is done, in the future you can use nokia pc suite to backup all your information and files, and i advice you to do so on regular basis wether you're updating the phone or not.

nokia pc suite is available through here:

when installed, just connect your phone, click on the backup icon, and the wizard should guide you through the process.

to restore everything back , you can go through the same process, this time instead of clicking on "back up" , you will click on "restore".
i don't think it will back up contacts from your sim card as it will backup contents from phone and memorycard only.

Ok stuck again how do I transfer mp3's, images from PC to phone using the PC suit?

There is a little message on the left that says "Drag and Drop Content Here" When I do it says image unable to be transferred. What Im I doing wrong?


Also an additional help can someone link me to the nokia software updater where you type in the model code and it tells you if a firmware has been updated for your phone please. Can't seem to find it.

Thanks again.
