N95 8GB firmware update

Who knows? Probably no one.

I have a N95 and waited ages for O2 to release v20. I got bored waiting and just changed my product code to the generic version and was then able to upgrade to v20. I then changed the product code back to the original.

I was a bit dubious incase I 'bricked' my phone, but everything went fine!!

I think that is what i may have to do, like yourself i am a little worried about 'bricking' my phone, but i think it is the only way i will be able to do so in the near future.

Thanks

Just make sure your battery is fully charged, and that your internet connection is secure, and not wireless. You should be fine upgrading providing you cover these two main key points.

The quality of your internet connection and wireless network is not a concern for updating firmware, as NSU downloads the updated FW to the computer first, before doing the update. If your net connection drops or you lose your wifi signal, NSU won't complete the download and will not perform the update on the phone therefore not doing any damage. What will make a difference is if your handset runs out of power or your PC crashes, gets turned off or you unplug the USB connection. My tip is to ensure the phone is plugged in to it's charger and that you always perfom the update on a stable computer.

It's no guarantee, but it minimises the risk.

And even then, if you brick the phone, most of the time they can be recovered by retrying the update.

Firmware updated as advised, thanks very much guys! Appreciate it 😊
