How do I update my firmware?

Note: Nokia device firmware cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you will not be able to restore to the earlier version. You can however re-install the same firmware version as you’re already running as many times as you want (which sometimes can cure back-up restoration problems).

1.Back-up data
Your personal data such as images, messages and contacts are stored in your phones memory and they’ll much likely BE DELETED during the firmware update.

2.Download and install Nokia Software Updater
To upgrade your firmware you need to download and install the Nokia Software Updater, also referred to as the NSU.

3.Charge your battery
Make sure your battery has full power before starting the update process. Running out of battery during the update can seriously harm your phone, likely causing it not to start up.

4.Connect your phone to your PC
Next you’ll need to connect your phone to your PC, this is relatively easy. Use the USB cable and connect one end in your phone and the other in one of your PC’s USB ports.

5.Launch the Nokia Software Updater
The NSU will try to determine whether or not your phone has the latest firmware by checking it’s so called ‘product code’. The product code depends on which region the phone was bought and/or if it is branded. Normally the latest firmware is first released to the phones with the EURO1 product code. Other regions receive the update over time and branded phones are usually the last (if ever) to get the latest firmware versions.

If an upgrade is available everything should be cool, the NSU will guide you through the installation. The process will take several minutes to complete and may cause your phones screen to flicker or go black. Your phone may also restart. In either case, NEVER play with the phones buttons or slider etc. during the update process as this seriously can harm your phone likely causing it not to start. Just leave it be until the update process is finished.

Must have things loaded in the ram when it starts up dunno just my second T-mobile N95 handset had about that ram (after i first got it) until i installed the generic v20 now i have 25+ in most instances with apps running

Weird but T-Mobile nor O2 brand the N95 software much compared to Vodafone or Orange handsets

Key in *#0000# in your phones keypad, and let us know what it says.

Maybe start a new thread asking for advice on this. You may get more views that way, and as a result, help.

You need to change your product code to a generic one, not hard info to find around here. After that you will be able to update but you will lose any of the Orange branded stuff.
