Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Hello all,

 

My Nokia 5800 has to update to the software version 40.0.5? I updated it once to 31.2.5, but do I have to update it again?

 

Please Help.

 

Thank You!:smileyhappy:

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

I would absolutely do it, as it made my 5800 close to perfect. But i everything is perfect for you now, and you don't feel like it's needed, you don't have to. -but i would anyway. There are a couple of new cool features.

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

@cheba - it has nothing to do with your simcard. The reasons for the phone not having the update yet are:

 

1. Branded phone - phones provided by a network have product codes which are identified as branded to that network. This holds true even if you unlock the phone for use on other networks. You can only get the update if the network to which your phone is branded approves it and finishes customizing it to their purposes.

 

2. It is a country variant phone. Your local telecommunications bureau has a say in the firmware release.

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Also factor in that the product codes on the phones are updated at different times (As i was told yesterday), when I created a similar topic as I have the same phone/

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Hi again guys

 

Is there a way to make sure if the product code under the battery is correct/real? Could it be just a "sticker" and that's why it's not accepting the update? Dounloaded the latest maps and tried navigation but no voice.... Should redounload in case it was corrupted for some reason but feel life isn't getting any easier with this phone!!! Nokia retail point in guildford can't offer any help ( if they didn't know that 5800 is elligible for free satNav!!)

Re: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update

Downloading the maps application is just that, the maps application. The voice files and the maps itself are separate, downloadable through Maps Loader or Ovi Suite on your PC.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong post Anyway, you dont install the maps through PC Suite, there is a separate software called Nokia Maps Updater and Nokia Maps Loader, which are separate from PC Suite. Those are what you use to download and install Maps and Voice.
