2 replies · 4,068 views · Started 20 April 2008

hi all, i'm new to this forum.
i have just got a new Nokia N73, and would like to ask you a few questions:

1.) this is what i get when i type *#0000#:

v 4.0750.31.2.1 
15-12-2007
RM-133
NokiaN73 (07)

- a) is this ME firmware;
- b) what does (07) mean;
- c) can i put a regular N73 firmware (not ME);
- d) which is the best (newest & most stable) regular firmware version that i can install on my phone?

2.) also i'm interested on how to activate MASS STORAGE mode; i chose mass storage in data cable menu, the phone asked me if i want to activate mass storage because phone will go to offline mode, i clicked yes, but after that nothing happens, there is no removable disk or any other new drive in my computer. i tried to open phone browser in my computer, but it's empty.
messages are set to phone memory, so it isn't the problem.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Yes. Change the product code with NSS

Have you go the latest drivers installed from PC Suite on Nokia's site?
What does your phone screen do?
Does the phone say Mass Storage Mode with the scrolly update bar?
Do you have the data cable symbol at the top of the screen?

- b) what does (07) mean;

it's the language.. depends on the product code of your phone, it will determine what languages will be supported in the phone..
for example, you might have choices between english and chinese ;
but some, would be english, philipines, thai ..
