A new firmware is out for the nokia N80 it came out a few days ago. The amazing thing is it is now possible to do it without visiting the nokia service point and its done with the standard cable supplied with the phone! I have tried it on mine and it works perfectly.

It is also generic firmware so orange users that dont want the Orange crap like random GPRS connections and asking you to upload photos everytime you take one can get rid of it!

For details of how to flash your phone see EDIT. NOT SURE IF IM ALOUD TO POST LINK!

Please do this at your own risk. If you bork your phone its your problem lol

Resonate1 27 May 2006, 17:35

The possiblilty to flash from home is most definatly not supported by Nokia! If you want to get it updated officially and without risk take it to a nokia service point!

i wont post the link incase the forum moderator takes offence.

If you want it drop me a PM.

:icon4: Youre right, This need to be done by experience people. So for everyone go to Nokia store and ask for the new firmware!!:icon4:

@ Resonate1: thx for the info...🙄

superleccy 28 May 2006, 02:37

I pray the day will come when Nokia formally announce their firmware upgrades to the public, and make the download and installation process public-proof.

My nearest Nokia service centre is a long way away. 😡 The more complicated these phones get, the more likely there are to be bugs, and the more important firmware updates become, especially for us early adopters (or "beta testers" if you like).

Well because mine came from Thailand and I do have more other phones and also al little understanding of software I gave it a go.
First my worries were to find out were the version witch contains the dutch language was. I found out that this was V02.
Oke then I had to do a lot off stuff before installing the software. But oke It worked out well and after a couple installations I finnaly upgraded my N80 from the Thai language to the Dutch one.😊
You do have to follew the readme file but it was oke. And you need to know you way arround if it is not working.
So for the people that know there way arround you can try it out.
For the others....go to the Nokia store or you provider..
So thx to you all out there who helped me to get this beautiful phone in my own language.: :top: :rock: :shakehand

Resonate1 29 May 2006, 09:55

V08 is the main one for Western English.

I can now confirm I have flashed my N80, 2 N70's and had several PM's from people I have sent the link to saying they have all flashed sucessfully.

So its clear as long as you follow instructions then this method is safe.

So dont be gay, do it today lol

OK...I am DL now....Just one question....
If this goes wrong, What choices do I have?
IE- Try to do it again, Take it to a Nokia dealer or is it just a paper weight for the rest of it life.....

Resonate1 29 May 2006, 13:34

V08 is Western English and the one most people should use.

If it goes wrong just ring your network provider and tell them its f**ked or take it back to whereever you bought it and tell them its f**ked.

From my results and everyone else there is no danger as long as you follw the instructions.

I've heard UK Voda can be really tough (bordering on being unreasonable) about this sort of thing. I'm not risking it yet.

Resonate1 29 May 2006, 13:55

lol. What are they gonna do?

You ring them up and tell them it wont switch on and they will authorise a replacement. Thats the last you would ever hear about it. The courier aint gonna give it the once over lol.

Ratkat 29 May 2006, 14:21

Vodafone in the uk are as good as gold, I had a N70 flashed at the Fareham Nokia service centre, when I went to pick it up they said 'sorry we have killed your phone, it will have to go to the main repair centre for repair', well to cut a very long story short, 3 months later I got my still broken N70 back from nokia and Vodafone replaced it next day.

Ratkat 29 May 2006, 14:22

V08 is not the UK language pack, although you can safely use it.

You can check which pack to use by keying *#0000# to find out your firmware version

Where it says N80 at the bottom will be followed by something like 58.01 or (01) this means use language pack V01

My UK Sim free phone needed the V01 pack, Orange UK phones I believe use the the V02 pack.

In point 2-C of the installation guide (overwrite dll) it gives me the following mess: "Cannot create DK2WIN32.DLL"
