:-? I read in at least one of the threads here that along with the 3650 it can't have its firmware upgraded or flashed...Really? I mean, I thought of all Nokia fones, it would be the easiest one to flash...(not that I know much about flashing)

Well, anyways, does anyone know if it's now possible to do so? I mean, I have N-Gage with a demo version loaded on to it (it fell off a truck ok?? :D and it can't do much except play games and bluetooth and makes a pretty good paperweight (not really)
:(

Does anyone know what I need to have if I want to try flashing it? I appreciate any advice....except for sending it to Nokia support :rolleyes: Or maybe anyone has this type of "service" to offer?
Thanks!

don't know who said that but there are loads of tools out to flash the n-gage and the 3650 like the neelix 3 or the griffin platinum box 1 and 2, there expensive usually about £200 to £400 per unit so there not very economical if you only need it for one phone but if you intend to flash others phones for some income then there a decent investment..

i've read somewhere that before you can flash the demo n-gage, you need to first change the flash ic.

look into the matter further before you go out buying a flasher box. :-P

simpley because it is a demo or more accuratley a prototype model. it is only intended to test certain functions it is not a fully funtional retail version, you can try flashing i but i would be very carefull as prototypes are not as stable as the retail versions and you may indeed kill it if you do flash it.
