to check , key in *#0000# and as for the upgrade in US, i don't know as i am not resident there. check out the website www.nokia.com for the service centre locations.

my friend me and you are fcuked...there is no one in the US to update our firmware..

How is that possible? In the whole USA you can't update the firmware??

not true pachi, anyone could update their own firmware given the can get the cable, or make one.

when I try to input #0000# all i get is "Request not Completed". So am i completely out of luck with upgrading firmware?

Type *#0000# to see the firmware version (note the asterisk, '*'😉.

Thanks, I found out that i have v3.45.110. If it's not firmware, why do I have a call timer that overlaps the name display and no "settings" option in my phonebook?

just a cable??? dont need a 400 dollar box like tornado???

you can use a lpt1 cable not com. but the easiest way is the box, because u can just buy it, the lpt cable you would have to make

I am in the USA and use a flasher to upgrade the firmware of my 6630. Obviously, I did not want to spend $400 on the box, but I couldn't find any other way. I e-mailed Nokia USA who referred me to Nokia International. Nokia International told me that they would not support it at all because the phone was "international", and I could not get the firmware upgraded in the USA.

I do not believe that you can make a cable to perform this function. Even if you could, you would need the firmware files as well as the firmware upgrade program, which is based on Phoenix.

I was able to upgrade my firmware to v 4.03.18, dated 4-03-05. I can tell you that the restart problem (the reason behind the firmware upgade) has stopped completely. I also like the functionality of being able to chose between 3G or GSM only to save battery power.

If you have any more questions, e-mail me.

u said u didnt want to spend 400 bucks on a box...u did manage to updated...with what?

I didn't want to spend $400, but I spent a lot more than that on the phone which kept restarting, so I bought the flasher box.
