N95 8Gb Firmware Update & Licence Key

2 replies · 2,880 views · Started 05 January 2008

Hello,

After a little advise please.

I have just purchased a N95 8Gb on 3 and would like to debrand it. I did this on my original N95 awhile back with no problems.

After I had set the phone up how I liked it, I made a back up in the mass storage, (I know I did this the wrong way round should have debranded 1st! then set it up)

Then I debranded and upgraded all went well until I restored from the mass storage, it then bricked the phone. As I only had the phone for a day I took it back to the retailer who swapped it over for me.

So don't really want to make that mistake again any advise?

Also Is there anyway of not losing spiderman 3 and the licence key? as I quite like having it on the phone until I need the space for something else.

Many Thanks in advance for any help received

use the Beta version of Nseries PC suite . I have used this to back up and have not lost my licence key. Even after upgrading firmware twice.

It is on an unbranded handset though

yeah, theres a thread on here somewhere RE unbranding and the spiderman movie.. have a search too.
