Hi!
Thanks to whoever did the work on this - just upgraded my Orange N80 and it worked as advertised.
The browser is now significantly more stable - damn thing used to shut down regularly but now operates as advertised.
You don't lose settings: wifi, texts, other installed software all remain.
I can recomend this process.
Slart.
tried again on my PC this time and it worked a treat. I can not say I have noticed much difference but nice one all the same
The browser does appear to be faster - not blindingly so - but pages render more quickly. Surfing around a large number of pages works - although the browser has crashed.
BUT: I've not once received the "partial rendering due to low memory" message once and all pages render entirely.
Other observations: the phone does not boot with the Orange logo anymore. Using the V02 software adds a KODAK photo uploading / printing application.
regards,
Slart.
well,
Tonight I finally managed it (phone flashing that is 😊 )
I did do one thing diff to last night which was opening and closing diego before opening phoenix 2006.
I now have v 3.0617.0.6
03-05-2006
with the O2 language pack.(Thats the version and nowt to do with the service provider 😊
Hmm... Where can I get V11 - English, Simplified Chinese?
Could someone get me the link or which support chinese?:con?

How about the Orange browser stored bookmarks for things like Orange World etc. Did your bookmarks remain intact. I have a lot of additional ones that I have stored. Also, were the Orange GPRS, Orange WAP etc. settings kept or did you need to reload them?
Tanks.
Simon
I can't say anything about the bookmarks as I deleted them not long after getting the phone. But practically all my settings were intact. The only thing that changed was the phone Lock Code - back to the original 12345.
Simon,
My news feeds remain - all the other bookmarks have gone. The "orange internet" link is still top of the list and the auto-bookmarks still remembered the last few pages I'd been to.
Looks like you'd lose your bookmarks.
regards,
Slarti

and to whoever tried it first, you must have balls of steel!

I dont see what the problem is lol. I tried it first but if I borked my phone I would just ring Orange and tell them it borked lol.
Its not like the Courier is gonna give it the once over is it.
Infact I dropped it the other day and scratched the Silver bit so ive called them and told them its not reading memory cards! Will get a new one tommorow 😊
So I will flash that one also lol.
Unfortunately when you get a replacement phone from Orange they provide you with a refurbished model - not a new one, so I would try and avoid replacing it if you can.
all my bookmarks remained intact.
The only thing I had to do was set the time again and alter the right soft key function.
got my N80 today, must say its impressive :icon14: , checked the firmware and its the old version : v3.0614.0.3 but so far i have had no such glitches or any problems, plus everything loads up in normal time it don't take long at all!!
nokia.dogtoe.com is dead now :| could anyone be so nice and tell me where can i find this firmware now? ive tried googlin' but comes to nothing :frown: i need phoenix, diego, firmware, and language pack v06 (polish language). im damn unlucky, it was normally workin few hours ago but i had no time to play with it :|
Bad luck chervee, I just finished downloading the apps and software a couple hours ago and installing, all went smooth, but I only have V01.
If you need them I have them, I cant email to you because they are too big, but would be able to transfer via skype if you have a quick connection.
I didn't want to risk anything, so took it took it to a Nokia Service Centre (lucky as I have one near). However everything got lost in the reflash, all bookmarks etc. overwritten and I started with a "clean" phone.
One thing I noticed though, when zooming a picture taken at full res, the N80 still has problems with memory after 50% zoom and I had to close all applications to zoom to 100%. It managed to get there but it's disappointing that I had to close everything (all of one other program!!).
@ Cash - it would be great if u could send it to www.rapidshare.de and send me just a link to the pack. ill try v01, english is ok 4 me, but im wondering if speech recognition will work as good as it is now. im lil bit tired of getting "not enough memory" message, so ill risk 😊
Ok chervee
I will upload all files to rapidshare,
You will have to ask somebody else here the correct instructions and sequence to install the software, I cant quite remember and I didnt copy it onto my computer, but I am sure somebody here has the correct procedure.
I will let you know when files are uploaded

oh how i wish i was sufficiently confident to do this.:con?
CPW are saying they will not be able to flash a N80 untill halfway thru next month, as training hasn't been authorised by nokia yet.
Does anyone know of a service center near either Greenwich or Fulham in London. CPW are a bit useless. Any help much appreciated, the out of memory during browsing is really frustrating.😡
awesome! thanks 4 dat Cash and Mcsleazycrisps! now i have to wait until i get download ticket at rapidshare again, download and try to do it 😊 thank you very much guyz!

Go for it. It was really easy after all the software was installed.
I flashed my phone last night. Lost bookmarks, not fussed about that..
I can now zoom all the way in on pics but they main fault I was hoping to solve is still there.
When using web it still only searches for WLAN connections unless I have it set for user defined, so I have to go back through web settings and select my access point that way.
Does anyone else still have that problem?

Not on a brand new model like this. They had no time to refurb lol. Mine is brand new and its just arrived!
lets get flashing
MAJOR DEVELOPMENT!
You will laugh at this after all the warnings I have given.
So i got the aforementioned new phone from Orange just now and started flashing it.
Of course the sodding battery was only risidual charge and subsequently died during flashing!
It stopped at 90% and said flashing failed.
After this phone is as dead as a dodo, no screen, no charging indicator, no nothing 😞
So i reconnected it to the USB cable after a bit of a charge and tried to send the flash file again, it warned me it couldnt find a device and did i want to send the flash anyway. I said yes and off it went! The phone is now back to life with the updated firmware!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHEW!
SO I CONCLUDE YOU CAN STILL FLASH EVEN IF YOU FUCK IT UP. LOOLOLOL
V03 anyone?😊
I've got the V08 if anyone wants it, Im looking for the V02 version!
If anybody wants to send me other versions of the firmware then I will upload to rapidshare and add it to my new tread
Just pm me
i have got v01 which i put on an o2 unbranded phone if you want it
