I am sorry to break into your forum with this. But I wish this could also be of help for everyone which is passing such troubles as me.
There was a time in which me and my black N80 IE were good friends, and we had established a mutual relationship of trust.
But eventually something started degrading and from one day, everything went all wrong. All began when I tried to restore a backup. But then one major misdeed happened when I tried QuickOffice Premier, neither I could tell you how bad it was for me that I couldn't be back to the original QuickOffice but only Nokia's WebSite flawed version.
In the meantime I also lost the original Nokia LifeBlog app. loaded in the out-of-the-box phone and the restore app messed up my voice commands. Anyhow the main problem which led me to go ahead was the Wi-Fi browsing which was appalling. Apparently there is a software glitch in v 4.0707.0.7 which doesn't allow you to use more than 1 mW for Transmission (Tx) even if you have manually set to use full power of 100 mW. But the real irritating problem was the scanner and the Wi-Fi presence which was repeatedly found and lost in full coverage area within few meters in line-of-sight from the Wi-Fi antenna.
So I went on the forums and started reading about a hard way to reset the Phone. And I supposedly found it: the 7370 keycomb did it's works and I ended up with a software reset that did delete everthing and not reinstalled anything ! (Did I mention that I lost the original QuickOffice and LifeBlog apps?) That's a pity. But the worst has no limits and after a more aggressive reset keycomb while switching on the Phone it lost even more code.
I now hold an N80 which doesn't have anymore the features that could still qualify it as an Internet Edition: apart from QuickOffice and LifeBlog I no more have the desktop WLan scanner and also the WLan Wizard they are both gone ! I wonder what else my N80 could lose. Perhaps the next reset it will lose some key button...
My phone is (or was?) a N80 Internet Edition (N80-1)
Here's what *#0000# says about:
V 4.0707.0.7
20-03-2007
RM-92
Nokia N80 (555.01)
What can I do?
I am just willing to be given another opportunity, I want my N80 exactly the same way as I got when it was new. I wanna have a chance to start over again. I need the re-flash the Phone with the original firmware or whatever was installed when it was brand new.
But else, I would like to give a try with the new firmware v5, but the Nokia updater said there is NO updated firmware for me. And I also needed to Hijack the original NSU cause it won't update itself stopping with installation script error.
I don't know anything about country codes in Nokia Phones and relationship with them and firmware version, It would be helpful if someone would clear up things.
Many many Thanks in advance for any help provided. This matter really makes me willing to whack my head against.... a wall 😞
