  1. Go to the Nokia website and download the Phone Software UpdateI wann update my nokia - mag-glass_10x10.gif utility. You should also consider reading the FAQ which will help you if you run into problems.

  2. Install the software.

  3. Optionally, follow the phone backup procedure below.

  4. Start the software. The initialization can take a few moments. Once the software has been initialized you should see this screen:

  5. Click Start. Plug in the USB cable to connect the phone to the PC (and choose 'PC Suite', if there's a choice of modes, as will be the case if you're using a S60 3rd Edition device). You should also plug in the power cable to the phone. Updating the firmware can use a lot of power and by plugging in the power cable you ensure that the power does not fail during the update process. If it does your phone may become unusable.

  6. Click Next. The software will try and connect to your phone and identify it. Once it has done this it will search for updates through your PCI wann update my nokia - 4.jpgInternet connection.

  7. If no updates are available then the program will inform you. If updates are available then you will see this screen. Tick the acknowledge box I wann update my nokia - 6.jpghen click Update to start the update process.

  8. The software will then download the update from Nokia's servers, before writing the update to the phone. You will see this happen in two stages. The most important stage at which the update I wann update my nokia - 11.jpg not be interrupted is when writing the uI wann update my nokia - 13.jpgto the phone.

  9. Once this stage has been successfully completed you will be informed that you have successfully updated your phone.

  10. Optionally, restore your backup as discussed in the Phone Backup Procedure below.
Notes:
  • In some cases (including one of our trials) the software may report it has failed to update the software. If this occurs at the end of the process then this may not actually be the case. Reboot the phone (you may need to take the battery out) and check the firmware version. Hopefully all will be well.

  • An Internet connection is required to download the firmware update. These firmware updates can be up to 40MB in size (but are usually around half this), which is why broadband is recommended.

  • The Phone Software Update is still being tested. If it does not work first time - try again.

  • If you receive messages about being unable to recognize the phone, being unable to connect the phone, or that the connection is already in use then you should restart your computer and your phone and try again.

Phone Backup ProcedureUpdating the firmware will overwrite any information stored on the internal flash disk (C:). If you wish to preserve this information then you should back it up before updating the firmware. Information stored on the internal disk typically includes data files such as your Contact and Calendar databases, plus application configuration files (including registration codes).
You can use PC Suite to do a full backup or you can use the backup to memory card functionality included on the phone.
Using the phone:
  1. Open the Memory application (usually found in the Tools folder).
  2. Choose Backup phone memory. This will backup the contents of the internal memory to the memory card. This process can take several minutes.
To restore your backup:
  1. Open the Memory application.
  2. Choose Options -> Restore from card. Your backup wI wann update my nokia - backup.jpgtored. This process can take severaI wann update my nokia - backup2.jpgAt the end of the procedure the phoneI wann update my nokia - restore.jpgtart.

Firmware OTA - the future?Phones using S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 will ship with FOTA functionality from day one. This stands for Firmware Over The Air and will use the data connection of your phone to download software updates.I wann update my nokia - f.jpg allows you to carry out the procI wann update my nokia - f2.jpgtlined above directly from your phone. Updates are started from the Device Manager application. An example of this can be seen in the screenshots below.

In my experience in N 72 this problem does not cause. So, try this ,....remove battery and press the power button by reinsert the battery.Because after we flash phone automatically it will change the phone mode to local/test.Even if there is no effect contact mobile repairing shop.Good luck
