N80 firmware

[kornnutcase]

Hello just recieved my N80, how do you install the latest firmware onto it?
thank you

[im92109210]

First of all, check if you DO have the latest since u just bought it. check by pressing:*#0000#.

Secondly, use the search tool, there is alot of topics about flashing phones, also search for "N80 Problems" and check there for firmwares and other issues.

Third, if you are not 100% familiar with computer usage and program installations and uninstallations, you may not want to try to flash your phone unless you are 100% confident you wont do anything wrong because a mistake in flashing means your N80 is going back to Nokia for a while..

I hope that helped you out :)

[farzadma]

and after all,its better to take it to your nearest nokia care center,the most simple and safe way!

[kornnutcase]

cheers thank you my firmware is
v 3.0617.0.6
03-05-2006
R<92
Nokia N80(31.01)

what is the light below the N80 for? at the top left of the phone

cheers again :)

[carcomptoy]

Just to say its on, that way when the screen turns off while on standby, you'll still be able to tell it's on by the blinking light:)

[kornnutcase]

think i may of found a couple of faults:-

when going into the gallery every now and again a message appears saying database corrupt data may be missing.

With the camera when entering this mode it will come up with a message saying memory card not found, phone memory being used but if i go back a step and then check memory status its fine its being read correctly.

not sure if this is a phone or orange fault when connecting via gprs it comes up sometimes saying packet data connection not avaliable and with the wlan it says authetication failed but will work if i try a few times, its all set up correctly.

does anybody else have any of these issues?

thank you

[im92109210]

So far, AFAIK, v 3.0617.0.6 IS the latest.. NO one reported ANY of the problems you mentioned so iam thinking there is something faulty with your unit... contact orange and see what is wrong with your device and get it changed

I've had a couple of "low memory" messages pop-up on me - once in a while, but so far the card hasn't dissappeared yet.

[Jacob_Stevenson]

Latest firmware is - RM-92 v3.0617.0.6 82.865 MB 06/06/06 19:55:03

[Jacob_Stevenson]

my n80 flash stays on if you change the video mode to night.
It's suppose to, no?

[jcron]

i think it is supposed to stay on as part of the night mode video recording, my n70 did the same however a 6280 doesn't. it might be an s60 thing for some reason.

[kornnutcase]

how will i know when there is new firmware out? dont nokia have a program like sony ericcson where you just connect the phone to the pc and it does it all for you?
thank you

[jayesh]

korn no they dont .. its always the shop for flashing nokias

[mewtwosama]

kornnutcase, I think your memory card has gone bad.

Either format it or get a new one. You'll have to reinstall all your programs again.

[kornnutcase]

hello
i was told that nokia have told memory manufacturers that there is a problem with cards over 256mb and it needs a new firmware update, i was also told there is a latter firmware release then i have which is 3.0617.0.6, anyone have the latter firmware?
thank you

[nk_au]

Apparently there is a new firmware version for RM-92:

V 4.0020.0.1
25-06-2006
RM-92
Nokia N80 (xx)

I don't think its 100% certain yet

when new firmware becomes avaliable where can i d/l it?
thank you

[gav867]

With regards to the message someone had that data may be lost or the memory card is not available, have you tried making sure that the memory card is clicked into place? I had this problem with my 6630 too (exactly the same messages) until I realised the card wasnt clicked into place properly! Since it was clicked into place properly the problem went. With my N80 I made sure that clicked into place too and have never had that problem.

[galinha]

Hello :

Where can i download the latest firmware to n80 ?
How can i do a hard reset ? I need to reiinstal an aplication that is already expired. *#7370# its not enough...

Thnks in advance
Luis.

[im92109210]

Well I cant clarify anything or make sure of ANYTHING but i found this picture in one other forum... i really HOPE its true!!

[nk_au]

Apparently that firmware version (v 4.0623.0.36) is fake and was photoshoped.
Which I think might be true. The blue area around the digits isn't smooth ...

[carcomptoy]

idk I've always found screenshots to be always unclear anyways...not saying it may not be fake, but I've found it to be a general trend.

[MikeUK]

The blue area around the digits isn't smooth ...
I think that's due to the type of image compression aswell as maybe what carcomptoy said, it would be easy to make that area smooth in photoshop.

Edit: This link has examples of what I mean. http://www.siriusweb.com/tutorials/gifvsjpg/

[nk_au]

Ahh, touché ... then we can't claim that its fake ... yet ...

[DEViANT]

Looking at that photo, the photo is a fake (whether the firmware is real or not). Look at the spacing between the final 3 and 6 on the 'V4.0623.0.36' bit, it is incorrect, slightly too wide apart. MikeUK is right about the compression, though why someone would bother to over-compress it is beyond me and also high-compression tends to be a good mask for poor Photoshop work (alongside added noise).

[kornnutcase]

any new firmware for the n80 yet?

[NightsRain]

I found this

h**p://nokia.dogtoe.com/files/firmware/n80/RM-92_EMEA_PR_dp_v12.04_SW3.0618.0.2.exe

but I got error message when I tried to install it

[harveyhanson]

Just got my phone direct from 3 UK, and the firmware is:
v3.0618.0.2 (23-05-2006), RM-92, Nokia N80 (45.02)

Had a few crashes on it, low memory notifications, thumbnails not been displayed in gallery, bluetooth issues and battery life is poor, but apart from that, its a mint phone.

[nk_au]

Yea, V3.0618.0.2 is only for Hutchinson 3G N80s (I don't know why).
I don't know what they changed for the H3G N80s ...

[DEViANT]

If it's anything like their previous phones it's probably disabling the mode selection menu (dual-mode/GSM only) and locking their webpages/homepage into ROM. I heard they might have disabled WiFi too but that may apparently just be a rumour.

[koony]

My nokia firmware version is: V 4.0623.0.42

And i'm havign alot of problems with it..

does anyone know if its possible to rollback to my old firmware versionw here i had no problems? dont remember waht version that was.

thanks

[omie]

hi koony,

You cannot roll back your firmware.

What you should do is to format your memory card and do a hard re set on your phone.

Save all your messages in the sms to your memory card, change the log settings to 1 or 10 day if needed nil is better.

Please check if all your apps have loaded up properly via apps manager. if your have any un-installed apps and if it does not load properly then you will have to delete it form the memory card.

Also make sure the SMS accelerator is uploaded in your phone, please remember to upload it everytime you upgrade your firmware.

I am sure most of your troubles will be sorted if you did the above.

Please be very selective re the themes you use.

cheers,
:)mie

now from my general knowledge here, how doing these things would solve the problems that might come with the firmware vesion, some firmwares are just bad and theres no solution for them, like with my 6630 one firmware made my screen blink constantly, the speakers sounded like it was blow and needed a new one and the phone crashed all the time but now with the new one the speaker sounds better, the screen dont blink and no crashing

sometimes the firmwares arent good and theres no way to fix them

[dodgedriver]

kooney i have the same firmware as u and im only suffering from slow loading for certain programs like messaging for example, its a lil slower than my 6133 and 6630 but not that slow, wat other problems are u suffering from ??

[dodgedriver]

this sounds dumb as hell but wat are the buttons that u use to lock the keypad beside sliding the phone up and down, and beside using the power button ??? i cant seem to figure it out and i dont feel like going through the manual

thanks

Simple answer, you can't. I had this issue when I replaced my friend's cover with a Nokia black OEM one. Whatever I did to it, the auto keypad lock wouldn't activate any more, so in the end we simply set the auto security lock on it and auto-keylock software.

[dodgedriver]

why didnt it work anymore ? replacing the cover shouldnt have anything to do with the auto lock feature.

so everytime i have to lock the keypad i have to open the slider and close it, or press the power button and choose the lock keypad option ???

Well, I don't know why but I think the switch which controls the auto-lock was damaged or something. I was really careful, but I don't know how that particular function works.

[makie]

Hi,
I've replaced the covers on my N80 and now the autolock function does'n't work, checked contacts etc. but no go has any one else seen this and any idea how to fix??
Thanks for any help received,

[DEViANT]

Yes, I had this same issue on my friend's one and have no idea how to fix it. We never resolved the issue. Try Googling it.

[VodaMatt]

Does the N80 use a physical switch or a magnetic switch for its autolock? If its a physical one you may have snapped the actuator when removing the cover. If it's a magnetic one then the magnet may have fallen out.

[makie]

N80. changed the covers with black one from ebay retailer and the autolock function didn't work, looked like two contacts not making and breaking etc. not so!
If you look at the plastic part of the slide there is a small magnet stuck to it, transfer this and the sun comes out birds sing and all is well, the youtube vid omits this so fools the unobservent like me! ( and my brother)
Hope this helps some one.

[VodaMatt]

Thought it would be something like that. Had the same problem with my Laptop a while back. Turns out that the magnet for the switch had fallen out.
