Nokia software/firmware updater

1 replies · 1,651 views · Started 03 September 2007

So, I got this downloaded and installed on the laptop, and set about attempting to update to the latest firmware.

I connected the phone to the computer via the usb, nokia PC suite detected the phone.

Got as far as step 2 on the updater, then it just tells me it is trying to find my phone, and then just stays there and stays there and stays there - nothing further.

Why could this be? should I perhaps try to uninstall the software and then start all over again?

physical connection.. and not all USB ports are created equal .. try a different one.
DONT use a USB HUB

Ensure NO firewall or Antivirus software is running.

If you're using vista make sure you have the VERY latest PC Suite / drivers installed. If it still fails to connect .. use XPSP2 compatibility mode run as administrator and switch off visual themes.

disconnect and reconnect (I occasionally have to do this).

Good Luck!😊
