Can't update my N97

Can't update my N97

Ok...I've downloaded latest Software Updater, follow all the instructions and I still can't update my N97....I keep losing USB connection. Again I follow the instructions to reconnect and minutes later it loses connection again!

 

When I connect the USB cable I'm choosing PC Suite mode...is this right?

 

I've also tried using Nokia Ovi Suite

Re: Can't update my N97

There really isn't anyone out there experiencing this?

 

note: I branded my phone but I don't think that's the case. It worked the very 1st time when I updated to v11.

but now it just does THIS.

Re: Can't update my N97

In NSU, it downloaded everything, was about to install then said...

"Software Update Failed, for optimum connectivity your USB should be connected to the PC..."
Bla bla bla.

Or via OVI it says "Internal Error, Follow These Steps tO reconnect your device"

and yes it's plugged in.

I really don't know why we bother as Nokia do not read these discussions
Or indeed help their customers in any way.

All it needs is a patch for NSU/OVI to stop this happening on laptops/pcs.

But no, they won't do anything.

Thanks for nothing Nokia.

Re: Can't update my N97

IS the update available via FOTA? Check by pressing on you n97 *#0000# > Options > Check for Updates

You can update via Wi-Fi or network operator GPRS.

What product code are you with?  If it's the Black Euro 1 model 0570817, then the update's been pulled anyway.

Re: Can't update my N97

SAME PROBLEM HERE !!!!

 

RM-507 NAM-LAT 0575401 SIM Free (USD800 used as toilet paper would be more usefull !!)

 

All sugestions around have been tried. 

 

Found some log files on C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Nokia\Nokia Service Layer\A (Yes !! THERE !!!  I guess they was trying to make us hard to find them !!!)and in there some entries like:

 

23:01:42.828 [ERR00301] Different number of ROFS IDs in phone and VPL.
23:01:42.828 UpdatePhone: Run failed
23:01:42.828 PAPI version : 2009.40.3.40007
23:01:42.843 NSL version : 2009.40.0.60128
23:01:42.843 OS version : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 (Build 2600)
23:01:42.843 User privilege: Administrator

... etc... etc

 

BTW: Have you realized how much info they pull out from our PCs without permission ??? 

 

This phoine was never hacked, debarnded, unlocked or anything like that. It was purchased SIM free, unlocked and brand new last July (I should have spend that money on vacations !!!)

 

Anyway. I DO KNOW NO NOKIA EMPLOYEE will post here. But at least, could you please gentlemen read this HARD EARNT INFORMATION and make some effort to justify your salary (paid by us) ???

 

I HATE YOU NOKIA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
