Re: e70 firmware upgrade

Perhaps you could try removing the sim card and memory card first, and so rule out whether they have an effect?

Brand new won't get dead as it has the latest firmware all ready.

1) See also http://blogs.s60.com/tommi/2006/09/apology_for_nokia_software_upd.html

for more comment on this fiasco.


2) Does anyone know if there are any Nokia Service Centres in the UK (preferably London) that can do the reflashing without sending the phone away to Nokia (with the consequent 3-4 week turnround)?

Hello Mark,

NSU wont flash the phone if you removed the SIM.

Re: e70 firmware upgrade

Did everyone who's phone crashed have fw 1.0610.05.06 15-05-06?

I have 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06 and a day before e70 came available to update on nokia software update, I tested the software and it gave me an option to reinstall my firmware. Yesterday evening when I tried, that option was not available for me, neither was an update.

Have they taken the update offline, or was the published update version 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06?

Re: e70 firmware upgrade

I had the software dated 30-05-06 when I received my phone a few weeks ago. Then when I tried to update it the other day, it nearly finished the update, then everything stopped. So I presume it was a later version that was trying to get sent to the phone.

Has anyone had a successful E70 update?

Maybe Nokia pulled the update since it's buggy, as for me, it says there no update for your phone, mine is 1.0610.05.07 30-05-06

Re: e70 firmware upgrade

Hi,

I followed instructions to the letter.

This upgrade is just buggy as poop. It should be removed until the software updater works properly.

BTW: if there's a problem with connectivity such as Firewalls etc, it should test for it, but it seems so unlikely that a Firewall would stop the USB port from being updated.

No, they removed the firmware itself.

Please check, if you can get msg there is a newer software for your E70 now. :smileyhappy:
