Did install new Firmware, this is the report... what- or who-ever it might help.
Did have 200.21.118 and did install 300.21.012.. it said something about improved performance, which i need because maps and sporttracker running in parallel does not work smooth any more since maps 3.0.
I did get the message that this version is available few days ago (E71-Code is 0569803).

I did synch with my PIM on the Windows-XP-machine, and then made a backup with PC Suite.
When checking for update the Software Updater said it is version v1.7.3.de
Did download 107,1 MB, then started to install without problems.
E71 did ask Country, Date, Time after update.
Then restore of all data, went fine. (Everything was gone)
Then did ask to install something for NokiaSuite, i did agree.
Then did ask to install "Contacts Group DS Plugin", what the ... is that? Did accept.

I was a litte bit disappointed because:
- Maps Version v2.0 wk39b04 was installed
- Nokia Sportstracker 1.78 dated from 19-06-2008 was installed.

So now... update of maps. Did use Setup_Nokia_Maps_Updater_1.0.8.exe.
After that i did start, and it told me that there is a newer version. I did agree to get the update, and again a download of 20MB.
Then again.... new start of the software and then "There is no newer version... use MapLoader to update your maps"...
What the .... is that?
After some trials and no success, i did 2 things in parallel:
I searched in the internet, and was able to download a newer updater via the Europe-Site, the German-Site from Nokia seems not to send newest version.
The second idea was: maybe the 3.0 Map-data on memory-card is fooling it? So did remove the card.
Installed Maps_Updater 1.0.10 as admin, (does not install as user who does not have admin rights.)
Here we go,.... now there are different screens, showing update to Maps 3.0...
Downloading 5,25 MB, then it asks to continue installation on device.
There it shows version 3.01(17).
After installation still the old icon on start-screen, so i did shut down, plugged in the mem-card, and reboot.
New OVI-Maps-Icon on start screen now !!!
Now i have maps v3.01 09wk26 b02

Installation of Sportstracker 2.06 26-03-2009 went smooth.

Some other applications were missing, but was able to install all, except Enhanced Calculator.
That one did refuse to install with Certification Error. But funny.... after a while i did find the installation file in the root of the mem-card, and with that one it did install without problems.

Remote Sperrcode was gone, activated and installed new SMS-text...
Activated Mem-Card-Security .... not sure if it was activated before, probably not.

That's it. Everything seems to work fine, but still have to explore everything over the next days...

Yes I installed this on the weekend to E71-1 code 0567587

Seems slower to start from cold bootup now.

Lost all applications installed.

Reinstalled OperaMini - no problems

YouTube app will not download. www.m.youtube.com/app brings up message "Sorry YouTube is not supported on your device".  Well hello!! it was working last week and it ran really well, loaded instantly in full screen.Any thoughts on this?

 Map Loader is crazy. If someone even texts you or calls during the download/install then it crashes and you just lose the 500MB you downloaded.

Hi,

My own experience:

When I launched the Nokia Software Updater, it told me there was a new version of the updater available. It downloaded it and, as usual, it failed to install it. This is not a new problem. So I downloaded the separate update package and installed the new vesion. I launched it and it installed the new firmware.

I had made a backup before and I restored it after the installation of the new firmware. Everything was restored with exception of about 10 applications: they were still listed in the application manager but the programs were gone. It is impossible to cleanup the application manage, so I had to re-install everything.

Request:  The Appplication Manager is missing a command allowing to remove a program entry if that program has been corrupted or destroyed by some stupid software like the firmware updater.

Thanks very much, Nokia Team.

I don't understand why a firmware update necessarily removes all settings and application data. This doesn't make sense.

More about this...

After I re-installed the applications that were nuked by the firmware upgrade (mostly utilities and games stored in a desktop custom folder that I created), I decided to uninstall one of them. It was actually uninstalled. No problem. But all other applications in the same folder disappeared as well. They were not uninstalled (they still appeared in the Application Manager) but no way to launch them or to uninstall them. Gone again.

This firmware upgrade is a bug.

Is there a way to downgrade?

Hi,

I'm not sure you can go back to a previous version of the firmware. I never tried this and I certainly wouldn't.

After many days of reading nokia forum and not solving the problem (caused by preinstalled apps on memory card) and finding that hard reset with *#7370# or *3 green restart, or even reinstalling firmware would not help...Finally I discovered THE solution by mistake:

insert in your phone a card from another nokia where you have calculator (j2me jar file) working, go to www.symbianfreeware.mobi and download and install calculator on your phone memory, than you can replace the card , put it back in your phones as initially and everything will work.
