Hi Saqib.Three are particularly slow to release firmware for any of their Nokia phones. I still have the original E71 firmware that was provided on the phone when I bought it back in December last year. They aren't going to release new versions of the firmware unless or until they perceive an actual benefit to their customers so I'm told, plus the effort and resources required to brand and customise the new firmware releases month after month probably don't warrant the effort considering that customers in the mainstream won't notice much difference in performance if any. Also, it has to be said, formatting the phone every so often doesn't particularly appeal to me or others that I know.
All the best, Ibrahim.----- Original Message ----- From: "Saqib" <saqib500@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi. I ran the software updater today and I can not update to the 31x firmware. I have the N95 8gb on Three. Does this mean that Three have not released the latest firmware?-------------------------------------------------- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 11:22 AM To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Firmware Update N96 DisasterPaul Vodafone insist that to update the firmware is possible. I tried myself but they did tell me I could send it in to then amd they would do it for me. Have you your new phone now? What about your Talks? I actually like the N96 very much.-original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Firmware Update N96 Disaster From: "All formats" <allformats@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 26/05/2009 11:11 am Again: Absolutely best advice here.I had been thinking of getting my phone unbranded but, this thread remindsme precisely why I won't.I would rather wait for Vodafone, in my case to release their firmware, if they ever do than try to circumvent the process early and get into a mess.I have also had to claim on my phone insurance over the last week as I dropped the phone down the loo.At least I won't have any worries about being found out about any unbrandingexercise I may have undertaken and having a non valid claim. Cheers.

It is made perfectly clear in the Nokia software updater, on the software updater support pages and when you confirm that you want to upgrade that serious damage can be done to the phone when you interrupt power. You should use a fully charged battery, under no circumstances disconnect the phone from the computer or touch it in any way whilst the upgrade is inprogress. In fact, the best thing to do when upgrading your phone is to gograb yourself a cup of coffee and keep yourself occupied for at least 15 minutes whilst the phone does its thing. Its most probable that you'vecorrupted the flash memory in the phone, that the phone will need to be sentoff for repair and depending on the warrantee of the phone you may get charged for any repairs if indeed it is possible. Finally, last but notleast, never upgrade a phone if you are unsure or uncertain of the process. Take the phone to a Nokia service centre who will do the same for you freeof charge and in a correct environment should problems occur. All the best, Ibrahim Gucukoglu. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eleanor Burke" <eleanorburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 3:26 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Firmware Update N96 Disaster I think i have done it damage as no power is now going through but I havetested the battery on another phone amd it is working fine. It is crazy ifone can damage the phone by trying to upgrade the firmware. What is the point of it then. I was following the instructions OK. -original message- Subject: [talks-uk] Re: Firmware Update N96 Disaster From: "Badger" <monty_badger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 21/05/2009 3:16 amsilly question, but do you have anybody sited there? it will lose talks etc and need to be reconfigured after an upgrade. but if it's lost power duringthe process, you could have done it a heep of damage.----- Original Message ----- From: ELEANOR BURKETo: talks-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 2:44 AM Subject: [talks-uk] Firmware Update N96 DisasterI tried doing this tonight and disaster befell the phone! Not only did itloose connection with PC Suite. I took all the advice given on screen,removing the USB, removing the bttery etc but the phone is completely dead. Sad really. I only have it a month. Any ideas from anyone before I go backto the shop with it, something to revive or resussitate it.
