How to get Nokia Mobiles Software Updates at Home

Getting started

1. How do I use my device to update?

Tip: It is always recommended to backup your data before updating your software. However, updating using your device does not necessitate a full backup.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3

Key *#0000# into your phone’s home screen or go to Device manager (consult your user guide if necessary) Select Options > Check for updates. Follow the on-screen prompts until your update is complete!

The above instructions may not apply to all devices. For detailed instructions on updating your particular device, please select your model on the Device software update page.

2. How do I use my PC to update?

Note: Before updating, you might like to backup your phone’s contents using Nokia PC Suite. These can be restored once the update is complete.
Step 1 1) Download and install Nokia Software Updater (this need only be done once).
Step 2 2) Connect your phone to your PC with a suitable USB cable and open Nokia Software Updater.
Step 3 3) Follow the on-screen prompts until your update is complete!

3. How do I ensure that all my music and games will work after updating?

To ensure that DRM-protected content will work after the software update in the device, follow these steps:
* Use Nokia PC Suite to backup the device memory and use either Mass storage or Media player to transfer your content. There are two memory locations in the device, the internal memory and hard disk drive/memory card.
* Note: Windows Media DRM protected content cannot be backed up and restored with this method but will have to be resynchronized with the PC to work again. Depending on the content subscription, additional rights may have to be retrieved from the content provider.
* You may have to refresh the music library after updating the device.
* Applications and games may need to be re-installed after using Nokia Software Updater.

4. Which update method should I use?

The table below is intended as a guide to help you decide which update method may be best for you. The table assumes that both update methods are applicable, but please note that for technical and other operational reasons, not all software updates are available by both update methods.

The software update packages and applications are provided by Nokia free of charge, but if you update using your device, you may have to pay your mobile service provider for data transfer. Check with your service provider for details.

5. What exactly am I updating?

Device software

Nokia device software is embedded in the memory of your device, and includes applications such as the calendar and phonebook. This is similar to the operating system software on your PC. The update consists of new features, applications, and performance improvements to the software. This is the same update you would receive at a Nokia Care point, with the added advantage of convenience (as you can perform the update from any location with network coverage or internet connection).

User data such as contacts, photos, messages, and add-on applications such as Java games or Symbian applications are not part of the device software.

In some Nokia device models, when you update using the Nokia Software Updater, user data – such as contacts and pictures – will be deleted (the Nokia Software Updater will warn you if this is the case).

If you use your device to update its own software, user data is not deleted.

As with computers, cameras and other devices that contain important information, it is recommended that you make a backup of your data before updating your Nokia device software to prevent any files being lost.

Note: Nokia strongly recommends that you keep your device software and applications up-to- date.

Note: Nokia device software cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you will not be able to restore to the earlier version.

Note: Using your device or the Nokia Software Updater to update your device software will not invalidate your warranty. Nokia’s standard warranty terms and conditions apply.

Note: Nokia devices and Nokia device software cannot be downgraded. Once you have upgraded your device, you will not be able to restore it to the earlier version.

Note: While updating your device, calls may be made and received while the software is being downloaded, but the call will be terminated without warning when the update phase begins.

Updating your device software will not affect your Nokia device’s network lock (also known as SIMlock) status.
Applications

Some devices also include the “Application Update” or “Software Update” application, which will automatically check for application updates for you.

Applications installed through “Download!” may also be updated by using the “Download!” application again.

6. What are the requirements for updating?

Using your PC to update
* PC with 1GHz or higher Pentium-compatible processor
