Didn't have time to download the software from nokia.dogtoe.com (although I did manage to get the firmware and language pack). Is there any chance someone could upload the software required (is it just phoenix and diego?) to yousendit or something similar? I can up the firmware and english language pack if anyone needs it. Thanks.

Am I correct in understand that if I flash an Orange N80, I will lose the Orange Photography program that is pre-installed on the phone? This is not an application that is downloadable/installable. It is already on the phone and does not appear in the installed applications list.

Yes it is embeded in the firmware, very annoying as it trys to make you upload files to the internet every time you take a bloody picture. How rude!

Has anyone had any luck downloading this torrent? I get an error in uTorrent ("No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it"😉

@ Resonate1 - I like what you do hihi...you got guts...As you know mine came from Thailand so sending it back will be no good for me 😮

Well people I don't have torrent but work with newsservers. This weekend I will upload everything I have collected. And I do mean everything. Including all firmwarefiles. (you can find it if you search for "Milli post Nokia N80 stuff".

Also at the howard forum you can read that the site has been closed because someone is pushing the line. The poster /provider cut the link so that's why it's dead.
There more people overthere willing to upload the files. You got also asked them there to post them for you.

Update Flashing after 5 days. Well everything still works very well for me. I have no problems at all. There were some issues about wifi but that was more my own fault. Also the gallery give sometimes a picture not sharp but after zooming and going back then it is. I don't know if it is a fault after flashing or still a memory issue. But so far I'm a very happy man...:trytofly: 😃

Ive got the torrent but cant seem to get the step 10.

10. Next, select "Scan Product" from the File menu.

Nothing happens any ideas why or what i should do next?

The_Poet 01 Jun 2006, 22:42

This may or may not be a cure,

I had this problem and kept coming up with error messages.

After trying 5 times it finally succeeded on Tuesday night, the only thing different was I opened and closed Diego before running phoenix 2006, after I did this everything went ok.

If you look at diego and phoenix you might wonder what the difference is apart from phoenix being a programme for testing etc, I am still wondering but it worked for me so what the heck?
😊

It had nothing to do with the bottle of red that I drank before I did the last try 😊

Hi, may be a silly question. But after i checked the manual of flashing, I didn't read anything about diego. Is not mentioned in the flashing process. What is it for? :con?

Merci

splash_mark 03 Jun 2006, 15:49

And another one:

All of mine 6 pc have installed PC-Suite (LAN) and all of them have the usb 2.0. The only one which has nothing of Nokia stuff on and where i can install the flashing programms has still usb 1.1 (very slow) Will i have a problem flashing thrue a usb 1.1??

Thanx :redface:

Another sucessfull flash 😊

I never used the installed Diego either?

Phone seems more stable, and slightly faster swiching between programs and menus.
Still upset that images and videos are no where near as good as my N90 I sold to get the N80 😞

I successfully flashed my phone too 😊 So long as you follow the instructions to the letter, it's very easy!

Just to let you know I'm on Vodafone in the UK and my software version (where you determine which V## you use) read:
Nokia N80 (42.02)

I took this to mean I should use the V02 update - am I correct?

Looks like all my settings were kept, except for browser bookmarks, so make sure you make a note of those...

As for that pesky memory leak, all has been fixed!! I browsed some graphic heavy sites over wi-fi which I knew caused problems before the upgrade, and now not one single error occurs 😊

Bobbles 07 Jun 2006, 21:18

it appears battery life has improved considerably with the new firmware. I charged the phone over 48hours ago.

I turned it off during one night but not the other. I've used bluetooth extensively, mp3 player for a couple of hours, took a couple of pics, wifi for an hour, etc

I'm on the final bar.

biggest difference is that with the old firmware once the first two bars had gone it was only a couple of hours until it went dead.

should work ok, but why not just uninstall pc suite and the original drivers, do the install and then re-install pc suite

Hey there, I'm kinda new to the phone flashing thing and have a couple questions. I'm living in Hong Kong and have noticed some differences between the N80's here and elsewhere most notably the settings option is nowhere to be found in the contacts>options menu.

Anyhow my question is this:
I've used the *#0000# function on my phone to find out what firmware I'm using and it came up with this:
v.3.0617.0.6
03-05-2006
RM-92
Nokia N80 (46.02)

Now I've noticed that the number 46 seems to be different than a lot of peoples 42 and the number that everyone is refering to as version is 02. Looking at the languages I'm sure that this has to be a different firmware. My N80 has chinese simplified, chinese traditional and english. Can anybody shed some light on these differences? Is this a different firmware? Is there a point of me flashing?

are you sure you got those numbers right mate, the firmware dates 03-05-2006 should be V 3.0617.06

The_Poet 10 Jun 2006, 16:29

Poach,
I would say your uptodate with your firmware etc and the languages are correct for your current location.(Hong Kong).

Don't do anything to it 😊

Unless theyve released another one? GazBaker please recheck!! Plus where abouts in UK is this O2 store. Every shop in southampton still has old firmware models.

Im still deciding weather to flash or not... seeing as im already having so many problems, im worried about them finding out when I next get a replacement handset? Do they check? can they prove I did it as apposed to a service center?

I am guessing somewhere in the system and paperwork the firmware version will be logged, but whether they can be bothered to check if you send the phone back is another issue, If they say anything I would just play dumb and say to them "I was told by Nokia that the only place I can get the phone updates was at a NSC so how would I have a different version of firmware on my phone without it being officially updated by nokia, it must be a mistake with the paperwork at your end " 😊

Its up to them to prove that you did it, and I dont see how they can do that
