Nokia N73 update ready
By Dusan Belic on Thursday, November 9th, 2006 at 7:53 AM PST In Devices, NSeries, Nokia, Symbian
Following the E62 and N93, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) released another update, this time for their “ultimate challenge to the digital camera” – N73. Last time I wrote about N73’s update, the firmware version was 2.0628.0.0.3. The new update brings Nokia N73’s firmware version to 3.0638.0.0.1. Seems drastic, doesn’t it?
Well, we don’t know what’s new at the moment – Symbian-Freak still looks for the change log. Aside from the usual performance improvement and fixing of known bugs and problems, my guess is that some programs were updated and maybe some added (i.e. Search).
hm, how come I often times find no link to the item that is featured in the news? For example, with this post I get numerous links to SymbianWatch pages and other pages reporting about the update, but I can’t find a link to Nokia’s update website itself. It’s something that I’ve noticed about many SymbianWatch news posts: they often times seem not to link to the source or page that’s mentioned in the news post itself… or is it and I’m just not seeing it?
So how do I get to the update site without having to dig through numerous other posts?
Hi Andreas,
You’re right and thanks for the critic.
We’ll try to add the link at the bottom – pointing directly to the page you should visit. In most posts you have that. I’ve missed it here.
Cross-linking will always be presented – it’s the way of the hyper text.
Anyway, the direct link to the Nokia Software Updater is:

Here,
All though it would void ur warranty with nokia, it worked for me,
I used it change my product code to 0539343 and i got this new
firmware number 3.0638.0.0.30 which was soo cool with new functions
new themes and 3D tone it is soo cool
Here’s a tutorial that will teach you how to update your phone’s
firmware to a Nokia original version
(without your operator’s personalization) with NSU
(Nokia Software Update – the official Nokia program).
NSU reads the product code of your phone and it searches its database
for a newer version of the corresponding firmware in order to upgrade it.
This is why you will need to change the product code of your phone into a
non-branded product code, before running NSU.
Download the « NSS » software in order to change the phone’s product code.
This is a shareware program that you can download on the site of its author here :
http://bphreaks.brinkster.net/files/NSS/NSS10373b.zip
After that, download the following program: gsm-magic
http://rapidshare.com/files/1236869/…magic.rar.html
(this is not a crack, but a program that allows the activation of any disabled
option on no matter what program).
And finally, download NSU here: NSU.
http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,1522,…softwareupdate
NOW WE CAN BEGIN:
Install NSS
Install NSU
Connect your phone and wait for Windows to install the drivers.
Open NSS and click on “Scan for new device†on the right-upper part of the window
Click on the icon « Phone info »
Click on “Scanâ€
Open « gsm-magic » without closing NSS, then push the button « Enable » of “gsm-magicâ€.
As you can see, now you can change the product code (on the right of the « phone info »
window of NSS). For a Nokia 6680, type the product code 0521637
(this is the product code for France!) and then mark the case “Enableâ€.
Now press “Writeâ€, and your phone’s product code will be changed
(you might think that nothing happened, because the phone is still in normal mode,
and the changing of the product code only takes a couple of seconds, but don’t worry,
the product code changed !).
Close NSS and “gsm-magic†and you can proceed now with the NSU flashing.
When the flashing with NSU is over, start-up your phone and you’ll have the pleasant
surprise that your phone’s firmware is the latest Nokia non-branded firmware in date!
NOTE: I advise you to disable any antivirus and firewall on your PC during the flashing.
In order to find out the product code for other phone models,
download the firmware for your phone model, connect your phone to NSS, click « Scan »,
then « Flash », and after that look for your product code when on « Market »
you will see your country. Write down this number, then you can start the manipulation as
described above. Anyway, we will soon have the product codes for all the models,
so we won’t need this step.
Product code E61 0529663
product code N70 0523982
product code N73 0539349
product code N80 0526966
product code 6680 0521637
product code 6630 0518104
0537289 Euro 1
0539193 France
0539207 Alps
0539239 Euro 2
0539256 Turkey
0539265 South Africa
0539269 Scandanavia
0539278 Baltains
0539279 Russia
0539284 Ukraine
0539285 Bulgaria
0539289 Hungary
0539291 Balkans
0539293 Greece/Cypurs
0539294 Lebanon
0539295 Gulf
0539298 Israel
0539299 Romania
0539341 Belarus
I need full package updates for Nokia N73
The link to gsm-magic is dead but it’s useless anyway. The latest version of NSS has the ability to change the code without gsm-magic. Omit this step “Open « gsm-magic » without closing NSS, then push the button « Enable » of “gsm-magicâ€.”.
I’ve been trying to install the NSS software to change the Product Code of my Nokia 6680. I’m doing this so I can get rid of the bastardisation Orange have done to it.
I have it connected to my machine with a Nokia Type CA-53 USB cable. But I’m not sure on the ionstallation what device to select.
Virtual USB, F1 USB, Nemesis USB Multi-Flashing, Diamond protection?
I’ve tried a couple of them but the software doesn’t detect my phone. Any suggestions?
Cheers, Andy.
hy help please!!!! the magic file url has been BLOcKED by the fookin website!! they said they have recieved a number of complaints etc. is there another place where i can get it from? I need that file to complete my flashing!!
Can anyone give me a spanish code for a Nokia 6680?
I own a Movistar one, this was my company phone, and it has been unlocked by movistar, and now I want to use with my orange card.
So if anyone has a product code for Spanish or orange branded 6680 I’ll be happy.
does NSS also work for N93?
worked for me! Just using the new version of NSS.
Great stuff, thanks to all that helped with it.
