A cautionary tale of woe re the Nokia online firmware updater.
This evening during a lull in the hostilities, I thought I'd try the firmware updater. Just to be on the safe side, I thought "I try my trusty emergency reserve 6630" acquired for a song a year back on eBay.
So I dutifully check everythings charged, I've offloaded & printed the FAQ and all the other precautionary stuff. Downloads and installs the updater. Now for the moment of truth...
The old software version was 3.45.113 dated 04/01/2005...
Plugs in the 6630, starts the ball rolling...
YES there is an update! Hooray!
So I press go and the updater chuggs along nicely, while I put the kettle on and make a cup of tea.
10 minutes later...
Success!! Yahoooo!! New software loaded without at hitch and 6630 has re-booted itself.
In with the PIN and the #!&$ Nokia soundbite only to discover...
DISASTER! 😮
The never-before-seen-on-this-6630 CURSED ORANGE HOMESCREEN!!! :hmpf: :icon13:
Oh woe and thrice woe!
My trusty 6630! what have I done to you?
OK, lets not panic - Nokia, I want version 3 and a bit back please...
