Updating N72 Phone

honsule now ure about taking a risk rite there,ure talkin of firmware upgrade not app installation uve got to be careful and do everything right so notin goes wrong,n70 for n70 and n72 for n72 just download n72 pcsuite online n get going,ur upgrade will not transform ur phone into a S60v3 phone so u still cannot use SISX files.man its ur call just be careful.

Guys,getting all the paraphernalia to upgrade my N72 firmware this week.No NEPA failure on that day.Till am through with the upgrade.

Honsule, wait what of my own line.

@honsule i was expectin u to tell us uve successfully updated ur phone neway lets summarize this update thing in 5 easy steps;
Step 1. Back up your data: this is crucial,before u start doing anything u need to back up ur phone,there are two ways:
Memory card: To back up with ur memory card,go to tools-memory,select options-back up phone memory.Take out the mem card from d phone.
PC Suite: You can also use a PC Suite 4 back up.launch the pc suite,connect ur phone to d pc n select back up.
2. Charge your battery: It is important that u have a fully powered battery before beginning the update process,if u run out of battery in d middle of updating you can seriously harm ur phone(it probably wont even start up)
3. Download Nokia Software Updater-Install the updater; this piece of software will guide you through the whole update process;u might need to unblock it in ur firewall.
4. Launch the Nokia Software Updater; from now on its really simple just follow the guide n u'll be fine; the whole update process takes several minutes to complete don't try to interrupt it at any point as YOU RISK DAMAGING YOUR PHONE.
PS: THE USB CABLE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
5. Restore your data; if u used a memory card for back up then simply go to Tools-memory-options-restore from card. If u used Pc suite connect ur phone to d pc and select back up n restore.
Now u have ur phone loaded with the newest software.To ascertain that just type *#0000# when in idle mode and check the displayed software version and match it with ur phones latest software.Hope it helps.

@infobaba.I can't just imagine after spending about #500 in buying time in different places to browse in the cyber cafe,i couldn't just upgrade my firmware,reason being that the systems i used was either slow or security pass code.I was not allowed to run application on the system.It seems to me after installing the software updater which is 15mb on your pc the pc will now ask you to restart the system.I got to that stage but a fellow couldn't just let me reboot the system.I was annoyed and angry that very day for exercise in futility,i did not even go for lecture because of the upgrading that i end up not even doing.I have the software updater on my memory card.Any time i see a system i will run it there.I don't want to back up anything,so i think i don't need the pc suite.I just want to just upgrade directly.

thank God u sorted it out. lol N72 is not a 3G phone and updating the firmware wont transform it to one no matter the fasting and prayer u perform, lol its a hardware upgrade. nonye4real@yahoo.com is my email. holla back

 After i instaled the Nokia Software Updater, i wasn't asked to restart the system o. The sotware requires at least 256 mb of RAM. And must caffe use lower memory. which of the cable's are you using. DkU-2 or CA-53 ?


Men you woun't believe it took me at least 5-6 hours on the multilinks network before this downloading update finishd

  abi u go bring your phone make i do am for you?

like N70 is better than N72 what do you guys think e.g 3G in N70 and nil in N72
