Can i install and work the N-gage OS into N-gage QD??

MY N-gage QD is out of memory and it won't work...& the local ratailers doens't have the N-gage QD Symbian OS.But they have N-gage OS with them..
What do i do???
PLzzzzzz reply..

i recenlt bought it & i can't spend a night not playing it these days...but from yesterday it won't even open...:,,((

The N-Gage "classic" and the N-Gage QD have the same Symbian OS 6.1 and Series 60 1.2.

However, the N-Gage "classic" firmware will not work/install on the N-Gage QD (or vice versa) due to the fact that they are different devices with different hardware (QD lacks USB, lacks the DSP, Digital Signal Processor & has different cellular radio modules/software, too).

So, try to find an authorized Nokia service center near you. Start looking here:

P.S. If you'd say where in the world you are (country, city), people might be able to point you to the correct location better.

I'm searching for any downloadable stes for the symbian OS 6.1 for N-gage QD...

& one more thing to ask??
If i intall n-gage OS into my QD, can't i even only play games with it??? I don't need the other functions untill i find the proper OS for QD....
I mean woudln't even the N-gage QD boot with the n-gage OS intalled in it???

I can't find the name of Bangladesh in the nokia website...
by the way can you tell me the process of formatting the N-gage QD device??? i mean the technical process how its memory is formatted and how the new OS is intalled???

One more thing!! would the power go down or will it creat any harm to my device if i intall N-gage OS into my QD???

One more time: You can not install (or put in any other way either) the N-Gage "classic" operating system (files from ROM or the ROM image files, if you had them) to an N-Gage QD.

They're based on the same Symbian OS version (v6.1) and Series 60 release (v1.2) anyway.

If Nokia does not have offices in Bangladesh, find the largest Nokia retailer(s) and ask them where they send the phones that need to be repaired (under warranty or otherwise). Send or take your phone to the same place (which should either have the correct N-Gage QD firmware package to put on your phone, or they have a way of getting it from Nokia).

Is there any Reset code which i could use while the QD is OFF/OFF+being charged?? I mean any hard reset codes???

sigh!!! i'm just soo sad...

isn't there any nonconventional way to remove even alittle bit of memory from QD??
