i have the n95 8gb model and after a few days i got a problem with the phone, i took it to nokia and they wiped the vodafone software and updated the firmware to v15, this didn“t solve the problem, cos it turned out to be the card, but i“m a lot happier having all that crap from vodafone taken away.i did see that the technician was using the phonex software. but looks like we can“t download it ourselves.

Thanks Tim, I had the same Windows error message when I tried to update my N80 and realized Norton Internet Security was still running, so I turned it off and the Nokia Software Update software started without any problem. It's now updating the firmware from 3.0617.0.6 to 4.0623.0.42.Yay!

I've upgraded 2 N70's already with the Software updater and i had no problems at all. I updated from the 3 to 5 like a breeze. The only noticeable thing you can see is the change in the music player.

I went from 3 to 5 successfully but my N70 was never locked to any network - bought SIM Free. You could just try again, couldn't you?

Wicked Saint, what operator are you with?
I'm with O2 UK and tried updating my N70 from 3.0546.2.3 to 5.0616.2.0.3 and ended up with 3.0546.2.3 again.
Every poster in the N70 forum has updated from v2.xxx to v5.xxx - I was wondering whether it wasn't possible to go from v3 upwards (which is daft) so I wonder whether it's a network operator thing.

It worked!
I just tried this and it worked. I have a N70, and had the very first FW on it. I live in the states, and it is not possible to have this phone flashed here. So, needless to say, this is huge for me. About time! Thank you nokia. I mean, you guys across the pond have been using way faster n70s than me :( The camera is way way faster starting up. Imediate. Too cool. MP3 glitches all gone. you guys dont know, this is huge. One thing for people installing: at the end of 10 mins, my phone was off (plugged in) and the pc gave me a "software update failed." I just unplugged the battery, put it back in and it works perfectly. Smooth no. Effective yes. Kudos to Apoc, AAS and nokia for this.

Mmmmm.

Update: Forgot to say that i turned off all AV and Firewall, rebooted phone and PC. Just the same.

Had another go at this ths evening and discovered it was the Firewall - still on, apparently! Again. Should have learned by now!
Anyway, it all went smoothly with this N70 but i also think it's reporting less RAM after boot than it used to. It was just over 20MB. I'm sure it used to be more. On Steve's chart over at 3Lib it says 32MB - but I just can't remember. If this is some huge drop, to bring the N70 in line with other low-RAM models, then I don't think it's much of a step forward.
It doesn't seem to be any faster at executing tasks either. In fact, as our friend above says, may be even slower.

6680 firmware version
I updated my 6680 very smoothly and without any problems....well done Nokia.
However now the phone seems much slower and has less RAM than before!?! Plus the new firmware is indicated as only being v.4.04.07 (22-08-05) which I believe is an old version. Aren't we several updates on from that now?
I tried to update again it but the Nokia Software Updater gives me a message that the software is already up to date!!!

The upgrade worked!!
I upgraded my N70 from 3.0546.2.3 to the much awaited 5.0616.2.0.3. Well there was a lot of tension, whether it'll work or not. If the phone dies, what phone i'll use... etc. But everything worked the way Nokia website stated in there FAQ section. So all who are willing to upgrade their phones' firmwares, plz go thru the FAQ section. It's helpful.
At the end of the update, my phone hanged and there was an error msg, "Software update failed." I just unplugged the data cable, the charger from the phone and removed my battery. Waited till the screen faded and then put the battery back again and started the phone and WALA...
After the upgrade, the phone is faster and has one theme less (3 themes). After restoring the back up, all the previously installed softies in MMC and phone memory still work without any problem.
Guys, take the risk and go for the upgrade... you'll love it.

The updater will ONLY update your phone with the latest branded firmware for your phone (if branded). You CAN NOT install a generic firmware on a branded phone using this updater.
I'm yet to check what will happen to a handset which used to be branded, but has previously been flashed with a generic firmware.

No, I'm 99.999% sure that the right operator-branded firmware will be used, just as if you'd gone to a Nokia service centre.
